Controversial comments on a live stream have cost popular Twitch streamer Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt another suspension. He was banned after inflammatory remarks led to outrage within the online community.
Asmongold was removed from the platform on April 6, 2026, and viewers were informed of the same. The ban is the latest conflict the streamer had with the content moderation policies of the platform.
According to a report, Asmongold quickly jumped to X to vent his anger on the platform, saying 'Banned for an entire week because I said I don't give a f**k about the opinions of illiterate third-worlders.' He suspected that the comments were what led to his channel being suspended for all of seven days.
This is not the first time Asmongold has been banned. In October 2024, he was banned for two weeks straight by Twitch after a comment on Palestine. He had said those in Palestine had an inferior culture and he had no sympathy for civilians who died in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
Asmongold is among the largest creators on the platform with over 4 million followers on his two accounts. GameRant analysis reports that the words of Asmongold were regarded as a relatively obvious violation of the Terms of Service of Twitch concerning hate speech, which influenced the platform to take action in such a short time.
