Popular streamer Asmongold was temporarily banned from Twitch due to comments he made about Palestinians that were deemed racist.

Asmongold, a popular Twitch streamer, recently found himself in hot water after making controversial remarks about the conflict in Gaza. In a broadcast on Monday, Asmongold described Palestinians as "terrible people" with an "inferior culture." His comments sparked backlash on social media, leading to a temporary ban from Twitch.

During his stream, Asmongold discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza and stated that Palestinians have "genocide built into their laws." He also expressed little sympathy for the Palestinian casualties, stating that they would do the same thing if they had the means. Asmongold's comments were widely criticized, and clips from his stream were shared on social media.

As a result of his remarks, Twitch temporarily banned Asmongold's main channel, Zackrawrr. His other channel, titled Asmongold, remains unaffected, but he has not streamed on there in the past two years. According to Twitch's community guidelines, Asmongold's comments were in violation of the platform's hateful conduct policy, which prohibits behavior motivated by hatred, prejudice, or intolerance.

It is unclear how long Asmongold's channel will be offline, but he has since attempted to apologize for his comments on Twitter. However, some users are not convinced by his apology, stating that his words lacked empathy.

This is not the first time Asmongold has caused controversy. In the past, he has been criticized for dismissing a streaming award winner as a "diversity pick" and saying that "artists don't matter." Despite the backlash, Asmongold remains a popular figure on Twitch.

When attempting to access Asmongold's Zackrawrr channel, a message reads that it is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's community guidelines or terms of service. GameCentral has reached out to Twitch for clarification.

In the meantime, Asmongold's fans can still follow him on his other social media accounts and sign up for his newsletter. As always, he promises to bring exclusive gaming content and the latest releases to his followers.
