The American Twitch streamer MoonMoon (32) angered a German viewer when he criticized German levels in Super Mario Maker 2. Apparently, he was reported immediately.
What kind of streamer is this? The American Jesse, known as “MoonMoon”, is one of the so-called variety streamers, showcasing various games from the colorful block game Minecraft to the dark Elden Ring. He averages 15,000 viewers (via sullygnome).
Of all games, the seemingly harmless Super Mario Maker 2 caused the trouble. It’s a game where players can create their own levels of the classic jump and run game Super Mario and share them with others.
Twitch streamers seem to have a real knack for getting into trouble in the craziest ways. You can see what already resulted in bans in the video:

What trouble did the streamer get into? In a stream on March 21, MoonMoon was once again playing Super Mario Maker 2 when he stumbled upon a level that appeared to have been created by a German user.
He recalled a fitting anecdote: The streamer revealed that he had received an alarming email. However, he wasn’t quite sure what it was about: “I received a NetzDG complaint. Do you know what that is? It’s the name of the law in Germany that regulates the internet.”

How did it come about? MoonMoon has a theory. Previously, he had gone on a tirade about German levels in Super Mario Maker 2: they all were terrible. The streamer suspects that this must have upset someone in Germany.
We have embedded the corresponding clip for you here:
Supplement 20:30 – What exactly did he receive? The streamer does not say, and he probably doesn’t know exactly either. It was likely a notification, similar to what you often see on Twitter.
In such messages, users of a social network, in this case Twitch, are informed that a complaint has been made regarding one of their contents. Since MoonMoon does not comment further, it is assumed that the content in question was reviewed, but no violation could be identified. Otherwise, there would be deletions and bans.
In German social networks, such messages are almost common. For an American content creator who had no previous contact with the law, this must seem quite strange at first.
Original report (continuation)
The streamer, however, stands by his words. German levels are simply worse versions of Japanese levels, which are also terrible. For MoonMoon, the email was the first complaint of this kind. It doesn’t seem to have affected him too much.
MoonMoon is not the only American streamer for whom distant Germany poses many puzzles. Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp, the LoL troll of the day, recently learned that not everything here is as it is back home. He just wanted to conquer the European servers and eat fast food.
