Twitch permanently bans JiDion
Twitch has upgraded streamer JiDion’s 14-day ban to a permanent one following his hateful actions against female streamer Pokimane.
On January 12, streamer Twitch JiDion encouraged some of his viewers and followers to launch a “hostile attack” against fellow streamer Pokimane. Incident, that leading to Pokimane ending her stream early, prompting Twitch to place JiDion on a 14-day ban on the site, claiming to have violated its guidelines. The ban comes just a day after the streamer verified his account on the site, having maintained a prominent following on YouTube for many years before that.
While initially implementing the ban with stride, JiDion insists that this scenario has nothing to do with gender, but more, to do with how he views Pokimane as a person, going on to state, “You have the right to stand up for yourself, because at the end of the day we are all equal.
