xQc drops new Twitch ban theory as Asmongold alleges “double standards”
xQc revealed his latest theory on how Twitch enforces its bans while streamer Asmongold accused the platform of not applying its Terms of Service “fairly.”
On April 26, Twitch streamer Tectone wasbanned from the site for two weeksafter comments he made about political streamer Frogan.
The ban sparked debate on social media as Tectone stood by his comments and accused Twitch of not applying bans fairly, calling outHasan’s broadcasts, specifically.
It wasn’t long until Tectone’s friend and former OTK buddyAsmongoldchimed in as well, with xQc soon following with his own take on the situation.

In response to a post on X by ‘Yeet,’ Asmongold revealed that, while he thinks Twitch’s Terms of Service are “quite reasonable,” he feels not everyone is held to the same standards.
“I think people would respect a decision like this by Twitch if it was applied universally,” he said of Tectone’s ban.
I think people would respect a decision like this by Twitch if it was applied universallyIf applied fairly, the ToS of Twitch is quite reasonable and well-intentionedThe problem is when you have asymmetrical enforcement and double standards
“If applied fairly, the ToS of Twitch is quite reasonable and well-intentioned. The problem is when you have asymmetrical enforcement and double standards.”
Following this, Kick star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel joined the conversation – and the French Canadian had his own theory about how Twitch decides to implement its suspensions.
“Believe it [or] not, it’s in my understanding that this is only enforced when a streamer manually reports someone that attacked them,” he stated.

The formerOverwatchpro clarified that he wasn’t 100% positive about this, but was basing this theory on what he’d heard as one of the world’s top streamers.

“I know more about how the ToS is applied internally than most, and I’m taking an educated guess. I’m not gonna sell it as a proven science.”
Idc about your skepticism lmfao. I know more about how the tos is applied internally than most and I’m taking an educated guess. I’m not gonna sell it as a proven science
It’s not clear if xQc’s theory on Twitch bans holds any weight, but it’s not uncommon for streamers to be aware of rules that aren’t common knowledge to most viewers.
For instance, back in March,Kai Cenat revealedthat he wasn’t allowed to raid the Rolling Loud festival, because he had more viewers than the maximum raid amount.
In any case, Twitch doesn’t publicly comment on individual bans, so xQc’s theory may remain just that for the foreseeable future.
