CodeMiko has been banned for a third time in five months

Twitch streamer CodeMiko recently got banned on Twitch for the third time since the beginning of September 2020.

CodeMiko uses a fully interactive 3D rendered character that employs AI technology to mimic all her movements, mannerisms and expressions. The move was revealed by StreamersBans, although no official reason has been given by Twitch.

While she had revealed the reason behind the previous bans on Twitch, there has been quite a bit of speculation about the reason why the streamer got banned this time around. It has been suggested that the reason behind her ban is the utterance of the word “simp” repeatedly, although nothing is set in stone as of now.

Recently, Twitch has come under severe scrutiny for banning the use of words such as incel, simp, and virgin. While the change in rules allows Twitch to hand out bans, the new Terms of Service was only supposed to take effect after 21st January.

Even if both Pokimane and CodeMiko had uttered the word “simp” in a recent interview, no action should have been taken - something CodeMiko’s fans also agree on.
