ALBAWABA - Streaming platform Twitch has reportedly banned streamer Forgan after going live and hoping that US soldiers get PTSD and no health insurance after they go back to America in a 50-second clip that went viral across social media. 

During the clip, Frogan then added that she's not taking back her opinion about the matter in question.

On the other hand, according to Kotaku, Frogan was banned due to what she said at TwitchCon during a conference in September after The ADL issued a statement (Anti-Defamation League) accusing Frogan of "antisemitic vitriol".

On Oct. 21, 2024, Frogan took to her official X account (formerly known as Twitter) and claimed that US soldiers committed "The most horrific crimes against humanity in the modern era" when they got deployed to countries including  Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. 

This issue at hand naturally triggered a debate across Musk's X with some siding with Frogan while others called her statement "disgusting" and "inhumane".

According to Zach Bussey on X, Twitch didn't ban Frogan for her comments about US soldiers but over something she said at Twitchcon's "Rating Streamers" panel for 30 days over "Hateful Conduct".

A user replied, "Wait, you mean to tell me this ban wasn't even for her statements about wishing military members to get all get PTSD and get no healthcare?"
