Twitch Has Banned Tectone

Summary

• Tectone has been banned from Twitch for a week for allegedly using a derogatory term when referring to two female streamers.
• The creator is calling Twitch ‘hypocritical’ for the sudden ban.
• Tectone recently joined Kick.

Tectone, a popular streamer with nearly one million Twitch followers, has received another ban from the platform, and his response quickly sparked discussion across the streaming community. While he shared his frustrations publicly, the situation has once again brought the Twitch moderation system into the spotlight.

Twitch continues to be the leading platform for livestreaming, but its approach to bans often draws mixed reactions. Some streamers have been suspended more than ten times and have returned without issue, while others face longer or stricter consequences for what seem to be smaller violations. In some rare cases, enforcement decisions have caused confusion even within Twitch itself, including the 2024 ban of streamer AnimalisaKeys, which Twitch’s own CEO later said he did not fully understand.

Asmongold reveals that he earned more money from just two streams on Kick than he did from an entire month of streaming on Twitch.

On June 5, Twitch issued a new suspension against former OTK member Tectone, his third ban in 2025. He addressed the ban on Twitter, expressing disbelief and saying the reasoning behind it was, in his words, “more hypocritical than I could have imagined.” In a follow-up YouTube video, he explained that the 7-day suspension is for violating Twitch’s policies on “sexual request, graphic or derogatory sexual statements, or unwanted sexual content.” According to him, the suspension followed his use of a derogatory term in reference to two female streamers, Denims and Minx. He claimed he used the term in defense, arguing it was a reaction to what he alleged were serious and defamatory accusations.

Tectone Addresses His Latest Twitch Ban

Tectone alleged that controversial Twitch streamer Denims mocked a story he told about his father’s wartime injuries and publicly called him an offensive name, with Minx reportedly echoing similar claims. Tectone also revisited his previous bans. In one instance, he said he was suspended for calling fellow streamer Frogan “fat,” which he insisted was a factual description rather than an insult. That ban was initially set for two weeks but was later reduced. Another suspension occurred after he told a viewer to “kill themselves,” which he now describes as an emotional overreaction and something he regrets.

Throughout his video, Tectone expressed concerns about what he viewed as inconsistent enforcement of Twitch’s rules. He cited examples involving other high-profile streamers, including HasanAbi and Denims, suggesting that similarly inflammatory comments by others had gone unpunished.

While it is unclear whether this latest suspension will run its full 7-day course or be reversed like Tectone’s previous Twitch ban, fans won’t be without content. The streamer recently confirmed he has joined Kick, a growing streaming platform backed by Stake. Kick, which positions itself as a more creator-friendly alternative to Twitch, is also known for having more relaxed moderation policies, which Tectone may find to be a better fit going forward.
