Why is LowTierGod banned?

Due to his use of a racial epithet to describe the facial traits of a fellow streamer, LowTierGod was probably banned from Twitch. On April 23, 2023, Sparrow was asked in a stream to describe his appearance. While doing so, LowTierGod made the remark that he had "chinky eyes," which he later clarified to be a racial slur. The majority of the time, Twitch prohibits the use of racial epithets, and his response indicates that he intended it to be potentially offensive, win.gg reported.

Is the ban permanent?

This is not the first time that LowTierGod has been banned from streaming on the purple platform. He has been banned from the platform numerous times before, but his indefinite ban was formally overturned earlier this month. After this incident, the staff reintroduced the former loudmouth's ban because he did not abide by Twitch's terms of service. But since the ban is temporary, the website is still available to him, only if he decides to change his ways in the future.

A Twitter user posted, "Twitch Partner "LowTierGod" has been banned!"

Users react to his ban

As soon as people received the news about LowTierGod's ban, they started reacting on Twitter. A user enquired, "I truly want to know what this motherf***er did this time?" Another one said, "Twitch needa low tier god lightning NOW". A supporter in frustration commented, "Someone should do 9/11 again but instead of the twin towers its twitch headquarters."
