Controversial Kick streamer Ragnesh "N3on" has spoken out about his recent Twitch ban. For those unaware, on September 21, 2024, the content creator received his second suspension on the Amazon-owned platform after Twitch streamer Vightingale accused him of misgendering them at TwitchCon 2024 in San Diego.
On September 22, 2024, N3on stated on his alternate X handle that the Twitch ban was "really affecting" him. Furthermore, he said that he planned to take "some time off" for his mental health.
However, the next day (September 23, 2024), the Indian-American personality went live on his Kick channel to discuss the situation. According to N3on, Twitch "wrongfully banned" him for misgendering Vightingale at the streamer convention.
The 20-year-old elaborated:
"Twitch, I got no problem with you all, bro. I f**k with you all. I f**k with what you're doing on the platform and s**t. You know, I feel like I was wrongfully banned. I feel like I was wrongfully banned because, first and foremost, I had nothing to do with that. I didn't know what I was saying. I didn't realize the words coming out of my mouth. I didn't know."
He added that he "didn't mean to misgender" Vightingale:
"To continue, what I was saying is - I did not know what I was saying. I didn't mean to misgender her. I still don't know. She didn't clarify whether it was her or him. I don't know and I'm not even going to say it anything because I don't want to get myself involved with that. That had nothing to do with me. I call everyone, 'bro.' I don't really look at genders, I look at the heart. I look at the soul. You know?"
N3on has responded to Kick staff's allegations that he view-botted his livestream
In addition to addressing his most recent Twitch ban, N3on responded to a Kick staff member's claim that he view-botted his livestreams. For context, a few days ago, Kick employee Andrew Santamaria claimed that N3on was artificially inflating his viewership significantly.
Providing details into the matter, Santamaria said:
"At one point, N3on was botting. 36,000 is now his average. At one point, I remember, this dude was hitting 90,000 (viewers). I'm just giving you proof that, yes, we're honing in on it."
In response, N3on denied Andrew Santamaria's allegations, claiming that people were "discrediting his success." He also stated that he averaged 100,000 concurrent viewers and had the "fastest chat in history."
