The controversial streamer was banned last week and while Twitch typically does not explicitly publicize the reason behind bans, NICKMERCS himself stated on Twitter/X that it was for using transphobic language. He has continued to double down on his anti-transgender messaging since the ban, but it remains to be seen how he will approach talking about the subject following this time away from streaming.
