There’s a lot to be said about popular streamer Asmongold, but he’s never been one to speak his mind. He recently went head-to-head with political streamer Destiny, speaking out against Twitch’s moderation policies that resulted in Destiny being banned from the platform.

In a stream this week, Asmongold took a break from World of Warcraft to respond to Destiny's appearance on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast, where the YouTube streamer explained his own thoughts on his ban and the underlying reasons for it.
Destiny’s 2022 ban was one of the highest-profile suspensions in the platform’s history at the time, with Twitch citing “hateful conduct” as the sole reason. Even today, Destiny is a political creator who tackles controversial topics, so one can only guess what prompted Twitch’s moderation team to finally pull the trigger. The consensus today is that it was likely due to Destiny openly hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes on his stream, while Destiny explained on today’s podcast that he believes it was due to him calling transgender critics like fellow streamer Keffals “subhuman.”
Whatever the real reason, it’s known only to Twitch streaming staff. That didn’t stop Asmongold from weighing in, however, and he was quick to point out the apparent double standard in Twitch’s modern moderation policies. He cited examples of other streamers who were allowed to remain on the platform despite openly breaking the site’s rules, such as political streamer Denims, who offered Asmongold a $30,000 bounty.
