Sadly, Twitch issued me a 7 day suspension labelled under "harassment" for what was an obvious satirical comedy of Pirate Software - I was playing on a roleplay Rust server and decided to do a Blizzard / WoW / Ferret obsessed character
My reputation, as well as many on-stream audible statements, as well as written statements speaking up in Pirate's defense regarding the hatred he has received in the past, should serve to prove that never at any point was this satire maliciously intended
I even received written correspondence by Pirate's head mod "Kronus" that the bit was fine and understood to be a joke (screenshots posted)
I strongly feel some direct communication from Twitch, or Pirate himself could have remedied this situation in an instant - TO BE CLEAR, IF AT ANY POINT I RECEIVED ANY NOTICE THAT THIS BIT WAS UNWELCOME IN ANY WAY I WOULD HAVE FULL STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED
Given my nearly nine year career on Twitch with a spotless history, and reputation for hosting an amazingly positive community, and warm atmosphere, I feel this suspension is extraordinarily heavy-handed considering I have zero track record whatsoever of any wrong doing and especially not for harassment
I want to express my sincere thanks to all the creators, staff, and community members that advocated on my behalf, especially the big homie
@theburntpeanut
I hate to let anyone down, moving forward there will be NO Blizzard jokes, NO mentions of Dire Maul, and NO ferret discussion
See you guys Friday - much love and can't wait to go live again!
