Asmongold explains why he was banned from his alternate channel

The same day, the internet personality posted an eight-minute video titled "Why I Got Banned on Twitch," in which he explained the situation. He revealed that he was due to serve a one-day ban, adding that Twitch had decided not to reverse the decision.

He mentioned playing Diablo Immortal during the livestream, during which a player used 'the n-word' in the chat box. He stated:

"I had stood up for maybe like, five or ten seconds, I was readjusting my blanket here and I had my (in-game) chat showing and in the process of doing that, there was a person in the chat box, who typed the N-word."

Asmongold elaborated, saying that the individual used special characters to say racial slurs, which enabled them to bypass the language filter:

"Obviously I have the language filter on, so they had to use special ways to get around it. So they put dots in between every single letter."

The co-founder of One True King stated that he did not want to address the situation then because doing so would have drawn even more attention to the person using profane language.

He went on to say that Twitch banned him because he did not "adequately address" the situation:

"Twitch decided to suspend me because I did not adequately address this situation. Although I spent five minutes afterwards, talking about it, and going over the reasons why it's stupid, and the fact that people to do this are just annoying attention-seeking man-children, apparently this wasn't enough!"
