Twitch accused of racism by hot tub streamer ExoHydraX

Hot tub streamer ExoHydraX has accused Twitch of racially discriminating against her when handing out a controversial ban during a stream.

There is no shortage of drama when it comes to hot tub streams, big names of Twitch have publicly despised it for being used as a meta to climb up the ranks. For months now, Twitch has been in hot water regarding the same but they are only keeping a close eye on the situation.

Besides hot tub streams, Hydra is also known for her Call of Duty gameplay. Having recently tried her hand at the hot tub streaming, things turned ugly and was handed a ban. Given there are several streamers who are getting away doing the same, she believes being a woman of color played a part in Twitch’s decision.

“Good luck being black and being a streamer on Twitch,” she said. “I do the exact same content that YT girl do, but yet I get banned but they don’t? Beyond disappointing. THIS ISN’T OK.”.

Even though it is unclear as now that if she was banned solely for broadcasting a hot tub stream or if it was an unintentional wardrobe malfunction on her part that was reported. This is not the first time a streamer was unfairly judged, several streamers suffered a similar fate that goes beyond any race or gender.
