Far-Left Gaming Streamer ‘Destiny’ Banned from Twitch Hours After Calling for More Violence Against Conservatives
far-left gamer and political commentator Destiny (Steven Bonnell II) has been indefinitely banned from Twitch.He announced the suspension on social media, blaming conservatives and elon Musk for the ban, which he claims has cut off his income. Twitch cited violations of its Community Guidelines involving “Hateful Conduct,” including promoting discrimination or denigration based on protected characteristics. The platform’s notice referenced multiple or severe violations but did not specify which comments triggered the action.
The ban came shortly after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, an event Destiny notably did not condemn. Shortly before the suspension, Destiny appeared on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” stating that conservatives “need to be afraid of getting killed” to encourage their leaders to reduce political tensions. His remarks sparked criticism from fellow liberals. Kirk was fatally shot at a university event by a suspect motivated by political beliefs, who has since been arrested and charged with murder.

Twitch said Destiny was removed for “Hateful Conduct.”
That behavior was defined in the notice as including “Promoting, encouraging, or facilitating the discrimination or denigration of a group of people based on their protected characteristics.”
The company explained that hateful conduct it forbids includes using “a combination of words and emotes in chat to promote denigration based on race,” praising or supporting “a hate crime,” and advocating for “the exclusion of a group of people based on their disability.”
It was not clear what specific comments he made on Twitch that triggered the ban.
On Monday, just hours before the suspension, Destiny appeared on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
He said conservatives need to “be afraid of getting killed.”
“You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so that they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature,” he told Morgan.
Popular streamer Destiny refuses to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk, says “you need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed.”

The comments drew a rebuke from his fellow liberal Ana Kasparian.
Destiny has appeared gleeful since Kirk’s assassination.
Kirk, 31, was killed last Wednesday during a student Q&A session at Utah Valley University.
A sniper shot him once in the neck just after noon local time.
The shooter targeted Kirk over his political beliefs, authorities said.
The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson of Washington, Utah, was arrested Sept. 12 following a short manhunt.
Robinson confessed to family, left DNA at the scene, and faces murder charges and the death penalty, police have said.
