Twitch Streamer Suspended Over Religious Rant to Fortnite Players

Twitch streamer Dr Witnesser has been banned from streaming on twitch after he made controversial religious remarks to others while playing Fortnite, based on his view of Christianity.

Dr Witnesser didn’t take the ban lightly, posting on Twitter that  he believed that Twitch was being part of the “#cancelchristianity culture” for banning him for “talking about what the Bible says on stream.”

However, he didn’t exact garner the support he may have thought he would, with a lot of people taking him to task for his comments, not taking accountability for his actions, and how he has handled the situation as a whole.

The streamer was chatting with a young Muslim and Fortnite player, who sounds like a child, about religious culture when he concluded by telling him he would go to hell for his sins if he died.

Since the suspension, the streamer has now moved to DLive. It will be interesting to see if this impacts his market on the social media influencer marketplace
