Destiny was earlier banned on Kick, which shocked fans because the platform is known for its lax rules and freedom of speech. Now, the streamer has revealed the real reason behind his ban.
On July 15, Destiny had his ads pulled after a series of hateful tweets against Donald Trump supporters. He doubled down on his hate streak by disrespecting the firefighter who lost his life during the Pennsylvania rally. All of this is on record as clips of him hurling slurs at the deceased man are now going viral.
Despite Kick’s reputation for being a lenient platform with a relaxed approach to rules and regulations, it’s not entirely foolproof. A day after a hateful stream, Kick also suspended Destiny’s account.
Destiny revealed the screenshot of Kick’s reason behind the ban, which said he’s being punished for “breach of terms and service,” more precisely, hate speech. Since he said a bunch of things on the livestream, it was tough to pinpoint what exactly caused the ban.
Destiny has revealed the reason behind Kick’s unusual decision to ban a streamer, a move that’s rarely seen on the platform.
Destiny has confirmed the reason behind Kick ban
After receiving a surprise ban from Kick on July 17, Destiny revealed that he had a chat with the platform’s moderation team. According to him, he was banned for saying “f–k the dude” while talking about the deceased firefighter.
“I had a conversation last night with a moderation team and they said me saying f–k that dude or whatever counts as supporting terrorism. I was like…okay.”
Destiny revealed.
While going on an anti-Trump rant post-shooting, Destiny had said how he’d make fun of his conservative fans as well had they been in place of the fireman. During this rant, he did throw in some slurs that could have been the cause for the ban.
He returns to streaming on July 31.
