There’s this Twitch channel, named EXBC.
It used to have a Korean couple, Esco and Heosu, who went on travels, get drunk, fishing and all kinds of fun stuff.
A few months ago the right-wing president of South Korea, Yoon, got imprisoned, because he had attempted a Coup and imposed martial law.
That moment things changed.
Fun time IRL and gaming streams were a thing of the past. If they streamed, it was only from the right-wing rallies to support their fascist president.
They made it seem like “the evil Chinese Communist Party wants to take away their country”, which for the uneducated viewer, lile me, who obviously doesn’t care about Southern Korean politics, sounded like, “okay, this couple seems nice enough and surely they’re not right-wing and there has to be something to it, when they support him”.
The rest of the streams were reruns of older streams, uninteresting.
So today EXBC decided to go Live again.
They streamed and still are streaming, speaking only Korean, with the odd sentence of English.
People were happy that they’re Live after such a long time again, but confused why the stream was in Korean only.
So they asked what’s going on.
The channel has a moderator named SushiXXX, a racist Korean who was completely power tripping, telling people to “STOP COMPLAINING” and “NO QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS”.
People who supported the channel by paying a monthly subscription got told that those “English-speaking scum should STFU and get used to it, how dare they question them”, paraphrasing.
People were like, “we just want to know what’s going on”.
Well I’m not a reserved guy, and told SushiXXX that his attitude is borderline racist and frankly disrespectful, and I got banned of course, because a power tripping racist can’t handle someone calling him out.
I reported the channel to Twitch, and the result was of course, “We couldn’t identify an issue, report rejected”.
I tried to report SushiXXX directly, but he blocked me, knowing fully well that someone who is blocked, can’t report the person who blocked them.
Twitch does nothing against hate speech and racism.
Calling English-speaking viewers filth is unacceptable and Twitch not acting against it, is illegal, at least in the EU.
