Adin was handed an indefinite suspension from Twitch after a 50-second-long clip surfaced on Twitter on April 12, 2022. In the clip, Adin or someone resembling him, can be heard saying a homophobic slur on stream while conversing with YourRAGE.

Keemstar criticized Twitch's actions against some former partners who have been permanently banned from the platform. According to the DramaAlert host:

Twitter reacts to Keemstar's comment on Adin Ross' indefinite suspension from Twitch

Keemstar's controversial statement on the former Twitch content creator's ban attracted more than 200 comments within the first few hours.

Some Twitter users disagreed with Keemstar's notion and stated that if streamers followed Twitch's Terms of Service (ToS) then they would not get hit by the ban hammer.

Twitter user Matt (@NameeIsMatt) argued by questioning if Keemstar had ever watched the aforementioned streamer's content. They also stated that the toxicity that stems from the respective streamers' communities is the worst.

Matt's take was met with a plethora of reactions where people made fun of him by saying that Matt would not last in the Call of Duty lobby for more than 10 seconds.

Other reactions were along these lines:

Another user felt that JiDion was the better of the two content creators.

Some users made fun of Twitch's staff by posting some of the older pictures.

Few users thought that Twitch's actions against the three streamers were racially motivated.

Some viewers tried to take the middle ground by stating that Adin and other streamers would eventually get unbanned from the livestreaming platform. According to them, Twitch is setting an example by banning such famous streamers and creating boundaries that should not be crossed.

The Twitter conversation continues to gain more traction as time goes by.


Some context towards Adin Ross' Twitch ban

Adin has been banned a total of five times on the livestreaming platform. Earlier this month, a 50-second-long clip featuring who is assumed-to-be Adin and his friend Josh "YouRAGE" was posted by Jake Lucky.

One of the speculated reasons for his most recent ban was due to him saying a homophobic slur on stream.

After the streaming community was notified about Adin's recent indefinite suspension, the American streamer posted a statement in the form of a tweet where he expressed his confusion regarding the ban.

The reason presented by Twitch for Adin's ban is due to him using hateful slurs, hate symbols, or hate group emblems without context or in a harmful manner. The tweet has since been deleted by the content creator.
