As a seasoned Twitch viewer and long-time follower of the streaming community, I must say I am disheartened by the recent incidents at TwitchCon involving Kick streamers. It seems that some individuals from this platform are using it as an excuse to act inappropriately or even violently towards their fellow broadcasters.
A Kick streamer who harassed several broadcasters at TwitchCon has responded to the outrage against them, defending Kick and revealing that they’ve been banned from the platform.
At TwitchCon San Diego, live streamer DBR666 stirred up confusion when he publicly kissed and licked fellow Twitch casters Nmplol and Wake Wilder during their live show on the exhibition floor.
Additionally, they also made numerous comments hinting at xQc that could be interpreted as flirtatious. They pursued the influencer as he tried to distance himself, labeling him a “strange character” as he moved away from an awkward encounter.
Despite being removed from TwitchCon and escorted off the premises, DBR’s actions sparked a significant backlash, not only against themself, but also towards other Kick streamers who displayed similar negative behavior at the event.
On September 23rd, DBR shared a sequence of tweets, disclosing that their activities had led to a ban from Kick.
They stated, “As an independent entity, my actions, whether they’re correct or incorrect, do not reflect upon Kick. On any other platform, I would simply be known as a ‘streamer.’
I’ve been temporarily barred from using Kick, and when I eventually rejoin social media platforms, I promise to improve my behavior.
I’m an independent entity, and my actions, whether right or wrong, do not reflect upon everyone else in the community. If I had done similar activities on any other platform, I would simply be known as a ‘streamer.’

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve gotta say, there’s a heap of genuine, awesome streamers on Twitch. It seems like folks are just itching for someone on there to slip up so they can point the finger at Twitch, as if that’s what causes every mishap.
In response, Kick’s CEO, Eddie Craven, has made a comparable remark stating that “the behavior exhibited by a few users doesn’t represent the overall nature of our platform.
Twitchcon is a fantastic gathering where creators across various platforms unite, and we’re thankful to Twitch for allowing our community to take part. Regrettably, the behavior of some users doesn’t represent the entire platform, as several accounts have had to be addressed due to inappropriate actions.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel that DRB and Craven’s comments on the TwitchCon drama don’t quite cut it for many of us viewers. Even though the offending streamers have been banned, voices like xQc are pushing for more substantial consequences for casters who exhibit such behavior during live events. They’re calling for “real repercussions” to make sure that such incidents don’t happen again.
At TwitchCon, it wasn’t just DBR who ignited backlash from online viewers. Another streamer on Kick caused uproar when he shoved a broadcaster onto an oncoming train during an argument. Additionally, there was another instance where this Kick streamer engaged in a physical altercation with popular Twitch personality Erobb, after publicly accusing him of infidelity towards his partner.
