A closer look at Forsen's Twitch bans

According to the automated streamer tracking bot, StreamerBans, Forsen has been banned three times during his online career. His first-ever ban was issued on May 8, 2020, when he served a 14-day-long suspension.

Four days later (on May 12, 2020), the content creator took to Twitter to reveal the reason for his first ban. He claimed that he was suspended because he used a derogatory term while playing Valorant. His tweet stated:

"Banned for two weeks for saying r**arded Russians instead of r**arded 'people who can't participate in voice comms in Valorant due to legal reasons.' I guess I have some more time to beat up my half-Russian siblings now. Nice."
