- ketzo 4y agoI don’t really see a mob on this one. Twitch has a platform policy that they enforced - probably a little too heavily here. Is there some sort of community outcry elsewhere? I think most people who understand the context of the clip (AI-generated Seinfeld) — even if, like me, their hackles rise at any kind of possibly-transphobic material - would think this was pretty tame/kinda funny.
- throwaway894345 4y agoAgreed. This is more censorship than I'd prefer, but at least it was censorship by policy rather than censorship by mob whim (granted, the policy was probably shaped to avoid the sort of mob behavior we witnessed over the last decade).
- pleadthefifth 4y agoI think it's more that Twitch's leadership takes certain things like this personally.
- clnq 4y ago> I don’t really see a mob on this one Well, it either had to be mass-reported or spread online as a hate incident. I think Twitch mostly over-reacts to those.
- DoctorOW 4y agoIs there evidence of this? It seems like nobody was even really talking about this before the ban and I find it hard to believe a huge movement rose up and then vanished without a trace.
- clnq 4y agoI did not say it was a huge movement. But it was big enough to get the account suspended by reporting it.
- Dylan16807 4y agoEnough to get an account suspended could be one or two reports, far from a mob.
- DoctorOW 4y agoIt still seems like you're saying there was coordinated effort. I ask again, what evidence is there of this? I find it hard to believe in a world where nothing can be deleted these public calls to action failed to be recorded.
