CS:GO Streamer JasonR Banned From Twitch For Unknown Reason

Popular streamers getting banned from Twitch isn’t becoming such a rare occurrence anymore. The latest culprit is Jason ‘JasonR’ Ruchelski, an ex-CSGO pro turned full-time streamer who was banned this week. Unlike other cases where the streamer has outright done something that breaks the terms & conditions though, nobody is 100% sure why JasonR has been banned.

Many people are speculating that the ban is because he allegedly said all female streamers on Twitch are “hoes”, albeit in a reportedly joking manner. A mirror of the incident has been uploaded to YouTube where JasonR can be heard in the background but the original clip from his stream has vanished.

Aside from the tweet above, JasonR has yet to comment on the situation and nothing has been heard from Twitch’s side of things either. Of course, comments like that should never be made but if they were in jest, perhaps a permanent ban is too severe a punishment?

Over on the /r/GlobalOffensive subreddit, most people seem confused as to why the ban has happened and that JasonR has never seemed like the type to say something so controversial before. A lot of people believe it may be due to a music copyright issue rather than the aforementioned comment, which would seemingly make more sense and is unlikely to be a permanent ban from the platform.
