Asmongold Banned Again on Twitch Following 'Violation of Community Guidelines'

Zack Hoyt, the popular streamer known online as Asmongold, has again received a temporary ban on one of his channels, following a "violation of Twitch's community guidelines."

Asmongold Banned Again on Twitch Following 'Violation of Community Guidelines'

Streamer Asmongold, whose online name is Zack Hoyt, has once more been temporarily banned from his Twitch channel due to a "violation of community guidelines." This ban has affected his ZackRawrr channel, which boasts over 2.4 million followers, causing it to display an error message indicating it is unable to stream. His main Asmongold channel, with a following of 3.5 million users, remains unaffected.

While both Twitch and Hoyt have not publicly commented on the matter, social media clips reveal that the streamer recently made offensive remarks about migrants, describing them as "absolute f***ing savages" and suggesting that migrant children should be shot. Hoyt stated, "If it's kids, women, men, anybody. Just shoot them. They're gonna stop coming over."

This is not the first time the streamer has faced bans; he was previously suspended in April and October 2024 for dismissing claims of genocide in Gaza, referring to Palestinians as "not your allies" and stating that "these people are not your culture that is horrible." Following the latter incident, Hoyt apologized and admitted that "no one deserves to have their life destroyed even if they do things or have views I find regressive."

However, it is currently unknown the duration of this latest ban, and IGN has reached out to Twitch for further clarification.
