Onision - DELETED From Twitch!

Well, well, well, isn't it a great victory

for the internet today? We finally did it,

boys and girls. Onision has been banned

from Twitch as well. Not only has he been

banned from Patreon, but it's recently

become known that he's also been banned

from the streaming platform known as

Twitch. It seems as though the walls are

closing in and days are getting dark for

poor old James Gregory, or whatever his

name is these days. So if you go onto

Twitter and look up this Twitter account

called Streamer Bans, it seems to be some

kind of automated bot that automatically

announces when someone gets banned on

Twitch. And if you go onto Twitch and you

try to look up Onision's channel, you'll

find that it's no longer there. I would

say this is a great victory for the

internet because people have been trying

to get Onision off of the internet since,

I don't know, for years and years now.

There's been petitions trying to remove

him because he's a dangerous personality.

You know, it always seemed kind of like he

was untouchable. It seemed like he could

do anything he wanted to, didn't matter

how bad he behaved and treated other

people. He was just completely

untouchable, and these platforms wouldn't

take any notice or remove him or take down

his channels. But I think those days are

coming to an end, especially with Chris

Hansen blowing this whole case up

to so many new eyes, including myself. I,

to be honest, wasn't really interested in

this whole Onision stuff. I knew of him,

but I never really cared about any of the

drama that followed him. And I am getting

quite into the livestreams with Chris

Hansen. Wow, 19,000 people currently

watching. I think Chris Hansen is doing a

really good job at bringing these

incidents and this person and all of the

things that are happening to a wider

audience. And, and I really think these

social media platforms are going to find

it very difficult to turn a blind eye when

there's so much public outrage going on In

regards to Onision. I guess the ultimate

goal would be to eventually get him taken

off of YouTube as well. We haven't gotten

that far yet, but I think getting him off

Patreon and Twitch has been an amazing

first and second step. It would be really

interesting to find out if YouTube is

going to take action or if they're going

to just pretend this isn't happening,

because I guess technically Onision hasn't

done anything to get himself banned,

otherwise he would have strikes by now.

But when you've been doing YouTube for

such a long time, you start to learn what

you can and cannot do, and it starts to

become pretty easy to sidestep getting

strikes. You just don't do anything that

breaks YouTube guidelines, and as long as

you don't break their guidelines, you are

pretty much guaranteed not to get taken

off of the website. All of it has just

been building up and building up and

escalating and escalating. I think we're

finally reaching the breaking point. The

breaking point will come It's just going

to be a matter of time. It's not going to

be a matter of if, it's a matter of when

and how hard this breaks and all comes

crashing down on top of Onision. So to

celebrate Onision getting removed off

Twitch, let's read some of the replies and

comments on the StreamBands Twitter

account. So MurderBit says, not only is—

was he a partner, but with only 3K

followers, that means someone had to

authorize him despite not having a large

enough viewership. Which means that person

had to know exactly who he is to make an

exception. So basically this means that

someone at Twitch did review Onision's

account when he initially made it and had

to decide whether to let him on the

platform or not in the first place, which

I guess in hindsight was a big mistake.

After everything that's been happening, I

don't really think it comes too much of a

surprise that Twitch decided to remove him

from their platform. I mean, would you

really want someone like Onision to be

representing your platform? If they're

associated with him and they refuse to

take him down, then That just makes Twitch

look bad. It makes people think, hey

Twitch, why aren't you taking this person

off of your platform when he's done all of

these terrible things? It kind of makes

you look like you're supporting him or you

don't really mind that he's done these

things. And I suppose Twitch does mind if

people think that they are supporting

someone who has— who has basically— he has

the spotlight of the public eye looking

down on him, hoping that he gets punished

and hoping that judgment gets served. Now

here's the thing with Twitch. Once you've

gotten banned off of Twitch, it's really,

really difficult to get back on. It's not

the same as YouTube. On YouTube, even if

you get banned, although you're not

supposed to, it's against the guidelines

to make a new account, there's nothing

really stopping you from making a new

account. You can do lots of things to hide

the fact that it's you behind the account.

You can just stop showing your face, pay

someone to voice over your videos instead

of voicing them yourself. There have been

several pretty big YouTubers who have been

banned off of YouTube, but they are still

on YouTube because they just made a new

channel and somehow got around the

guidelines and managed to stay on YouTube.

Keemstar is one example. But Twitch is

kind of different in many ways. It's a lot

stricter on Twitch. Once you've gotten

banned from Twitch, if you try and make a

new Twitch account, you need to get your

new account verified. And if you've been

added to the ban list and they review your

accounts, they're not going to authorize

it and they'll just ban you again. This is

one of the reasons why Ice Poseidon was

never able to get back onto Twitch after

he got banned. And the other thing about

Twitch is, if you're banned on Twitch and

you even appear on someone else's Twitch

account or on someone else's Twitch

stream, then that person also gets banned.

So all of Ice Poseidon's friends on Twitch

refused to stream with him anymore out of

fear that they'll also get banned just for

streaming with him. It's— it's pretty

strict on Twitch, and it's safe to say

that I don't think Onision would ever be

streaming on Twitch ever again. Now with

Onision being banned from all of these

really big large platforms, he's basically

playing this game of hopping around to

different platforms trying to avoid the

ban hammer. And I'm not sure how long he's

going to be able to last doing that.

Eventually he's going to run out of

platforms. Eventually there's going to be

no more platforms for him to turn to and

he's going to be banned off of everything.

I think the only option he really has is

to make his own website and and try and

get his remaining dwindling fans and

viewers to go and watch him over there.

But yeah, things are looking really bleak

for him. I'm not trying to sound like I'm

defending him, but I do kind of feel a

little bit of empathy for him, even though

he probably deserves all of this. Because

at the end of the day, he still has kids

to provide for, and the kids are

completely innocent. They don't deserve to

not be provided for just because their

father is completely mentally ill and

deranged and getting banned off of all of

the platforms that he usually uses

to make his income on.
