I think the streamer you're referring to was just the focal point and scapegoat for a lot of the outrage over the very unequal and sometimes disturbing way Twitch moderates content.

I agree people were already mad but you would have to go pretty far out of your way to find someone with worse optics, she definetely brought a lot of heat to it herself.

I think that was Twitch's intent. Why promote a basically no name streamer to a group made up mostly of very prominent people on the platform?

You think twitch purposefully nuked their own program? Wouldn't that just make both sides of the isle mad at them?
