Asmongold warns someone will “get shot” on Twitch if “nuisance streaming” isn’t banned

by

Asmongold has cautioned Twitch that a dangerous situation – potentially someone being shot – could occur if they don’t address the growing problem of disruptive streamers on their platform.

As more people stream real-life content, platforms like Kick, YouTube, and Twitch have been struggling with inappropriate and harmful broadcasts.

Some content creators, like Johnny Somali who gained notoriety for their actions abroad – specifically in countries like Japan, Israel, and South Korea – have been permanently banned. However, others have faced less severe penalties.

Asmongold highlights Nina Lin as a particularly noteworthy case. She recently gained attention after admitting on a Twitch livestream to shoplifting from Target. Lin had also faced a temporary ban before for sexually assaulting Said, an assistant to Disguised Toast and FaZe Silky, during a broadcast.

In a December livestream, Asmongold criticized Twitch for its lack of action against concerning broadcasts, and pleaded with the platform to permanently remove them, fearing someone could be harmed.

Asmongold calls on Twitch to take action against nuisance streamers

During a livestream, Asmongold harshly criticized Nina, calling her behavior problematic and describing her content as antisocial, destructive, and annoying.

It’s baffling why this content is even allowed here. It’s completely unacceptable, and ultimately, this situation will be resolved one way or another. Someone will eventually push things too far. By hosting this kind of material, the platform inadvertently encourages and rewards the continuation of this harmful behavior.

Asmongold believes Twitch will fail within five years, citing a recent stream where Nina Lin was seen harassing and seemingly shoplifting from a family. He points out that Twitch didn’t ban her for this behavior until today, and expressed concern that she could escalate the situation and someone could get hurt. He questions why this type of behavior is permitted on the platform.

The creator also predicted these broadcasts will become increasingly problematic unless someone steps in to regulate them.

Unfortunately, I predict a serious incident will eventually occur during a live stream – likely someone being injured, possibly even shot or physically assaulted. If the streamer themselves is the victim, I doubt there will be much public concern. Ultimately, Twitch will be held responsible when this happens.

Asmongold explained that Twitch would be held responsible if a serious incident occurred during a stream, as they are aware it’s taking place and therefore fully at fault.

He criticized Twitch for allowing creators who produce this kind of content to gain popularity and earn money, and he strongly condemned their moderation team, calling them ineffective.

After that, Asmon shared his thoughts on X, stating he thinks Twitch should completely prohibit that kind of content. However, he still believes in and supports the IRL streaming category.

He responded to someone who called IRL streaming a mistake by saying that most streamers who succeed long-term in real life are very talented.

I disagree. The most successful streamers who broadcast in real life are generally good people. Twitch should focus on banning streams that are deliberately disruptive – things like going to public places to provoke reactions just to create content. This kind of behavior actually rewards harassment.

He argued that Twitch should ban streamers who deliberately cause trouble in public to create content. He believes this practice incentivizes harassment because it allows them to profit from it.

Twitch has addressed controversial trends in the past by allowing users to block political content, prohibiting the use of censor bars over bodies, and introducing a specific category for hot tub streams.

Even though many actions considered ‘nuisance streaming’ – like breaking laws or causing trouble – already go against platform rules, some streamers still create this kind of content.

It remains to be seen what Twitch will do next, but Asmongold thinks the situation will likely worsen unless significant changes are made.
