In February of 2018 I got banned from Twitch for "Threatening to Swat" when I sang a song about sending the police to someone’s house who threatened to swat me in chat, donated my full legal name and ruined my stream for three weeks through ddosing/stream sniping.
Unbeknown to the public I never actually “doxed” this man, seeing as he has a public Twitch profile https://www.twitch.tv/mynameuhsenpai where my chat easily found his name (Which is on his twitter and used to be in his bio) and said it in chat. I got banned for the song I sang about threatening to swat him and was “unable to ever get unbanned” due to legal reasoning from this extremely stupid transgression caused by pent up anger.

A small backstory on why I allowed myself to get to that point is that I not only was starting school full time, but YouTube/Twitch went from being a hobby to a full-time job and I had no idea how to handle both. I had a video catapult me into relevancy in January and was trying as hard as I could to get my foot through the door by playing VRChat but was constantly getting EVERY stream I did ruined. This isn’t an excuse but in reflection, I understand now that I was completely ill-equipped mentally to handle/time manage both content creation and school. Because of this and the constant destruction of my streams I let my anger allow a horrible outburst that ruined my ability to stream on this platform that I would kill to be able to harness in hindsight.

Now, 10 months later, a lot has changed for me and I’ve had to do everything I can to adapt. Instead of letting this completely ruin my streaming career, I decided to open a new channel on YouTube specifically meant for streaming and have found moderate success doing so. Amassing around 40k~ ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18zaxoyZfmfbaWhP60_Jag ) subs in the past 10 months I’ve been able to consistently stream and haven’t had any transgression happen since. I think the main thing I learned from getting banned on Twitch was that it’s alright to take a break from it if you can’t handle the stress it can cause sometimes. Having to do it all over again taught me so much about time management and how to properly control myself in situations similar to the one that ended up getting me banned.

Streaming is something I love to do, and I think now that I could consider myself an experienced streamer I wish I could’ve talked to myself when I was trying to do 40 hrs/week of streaming with 20 hours of school. Losing Twitch made me more depressed then I have ever been in my entire life, and not having that platform made me outcasted by a lot of people including peers and viewers. I would do anything, like literally anything, to be able to hone that platform again and conduct myself it in a more positive manner. I know that I might never get unbanned and I completely understand that I could be viewed as a liability to the platform, but I feel that I’ve really shown my progression through streaming on YouTube and hope that it could at least be considered in the appeals process.

If you have anything to say regarding my personal growth, or just want to maybe help me to possibly get unbanned. Signing this petition can (hopefully) garner enough attention so that when I appeal, my unban could be given more weight. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon but being able to access this platform would not only help my stream to grow but would really help a lot of relationships that I feel are tarnished by not being able to even be on the platform. Thanks so much to those of you that support me, and I really don’t think I would ever be in the happy and comfortable place I am now if It weren’t for every single viewer. Stay Wobblin.
