Streamer FrostyMatrixTV has said that it has been blocked several times. Twitch had forced him to rebuild his channel twice because he was punished for toxicity, i.e. destructive behavior. Apparently, however, that doesn't stop him from causing a sensation a third time. This time, he should have urged underage spectators to steal their parents' credit cards behind their backsto transfer money to him.
The whole action happened on April 19, casually in a deadside stream (by the way, deadside is a pretty interesting game). The colleagues from Dexerto recorded his statement as a quote, the linked section of the stream is no longer available.
"It sounds like I'm drunk and trolling when I tell people, kids especially, 'go get your daddy's (or mother's) credit card' … Not steal it, but sneak it behind their backs and hit the subscribe button. No , I'm not joking. It's not a joke. It sounds funny, because it's kind of funny, but I'm not doing anything bad. I'm not pushing you to lose your v ** ginity. I'm pushing you to be af ** king man! Do things on your own, financial independence, which is nothing. A sub is what? Five f ** king bucks? "
We try to translate this:
"I sound like a drunk troll when I tell people, especially children, 'Grab your dad or mom's credit card. You don't have to steal it, but take it behind your back and click the subscribe button.'
No, I'm not kidding. That's no joke. It sounds silly because it somehow is, but I'm not doing anything bad here. I am not pushing anyone to lose their virginity. I urge you to be damned men again. Stand on your own two feet, financially independent, at least with such a trifle. How much does a sub cost? Five dollars? "
Reddit discusses whether such requests go beyond the limits of protecting minors. how do you see it? Should Twitch crack down on such an incident? Or are viewers and their parents responsible for themselves? Let us know in the comments.
