Deadmau5 is not taking his temporary ban from Twitch lightly, and is vowing to never work with the streaming platform again, according to TMZ.
The famous DJ was levied a temporary ban from Twitch fro using homophobic language during a stream of PUBG, where he reportedly referred to a troll as a “f*cking c**k-sucking stream sniper f*g”.
Deadmau5 isn’t apologizing, and responded by saying that the slurs were only “intended to insult a f*ckin asshat who was being a f*cking asshat.”
“I’m not going to stand for twitch’s double standard when it comes to censoring and suspending me for harmless sh*t,” Deadmau5 said, according to the report.
“While we’ve had some fun partnerships here and there, and they were a great company to work with… im gunna have to cut this one short. I dont have the capacity to deal with that kind of sh*t.”
“While what i said was generally toxic as f*ck, and not an ideology i hold closely to my moral standing by a f*ckin longshot.”
“While it was intended to insult a f*ckin asshat who was being a f*cking asshat…. it wasnt ‘directed at an entire group of people who have a sexual orientation that differs from my own’. f*ck off with that sh*t.”
“I know who i am, and i dont have to f*cking sit here and cry and defend my f*cking self with the obligatory ‘IM NOT THAT PERSON, I AM SORRY’ reflex. If im sorry for antying, im sorry that we live in a world where bottom feeding pieces of sh*t can sit there starring at a monitor, watching me play videos games, and just waiting for someone to get tilted so he can get a few fucking clicks. thats what i’m sorry for.”
Deadmau5’s Twitch streams were popular, to say the least, and his channel had around 500,000 followers.
He’s apparently serious, as he has already deleted his account on Twitch.
Is Mixer in line for a big addition? That may be the next step, and a way for Deadmau5 to stick it to Twitch.
