TheDanDangler has been making news and headlines for the past few months after she was banned from the streaming platform Twitch due to a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) strike on January 12, 2022.

After she was banned, she promptly went to Twitter in order to appeal the strike by saying that Twitch did not provide her with “sick days” and that she had $4,000 worth of vet bills racked up.

Since then, the tweet has been deleted, but some users on the social media platform have saved screenshots and shared it for others to see.

Twitch streamer TheDanDangler’s recent ban on Twitch

TheDanDangler received her second ban from Twitch on January 12, 2022. As mentioned earlier, it was due to a DMCA strike and she was handed a two-day suspension. During her suspension period, she made a controversial tweet where she asked Twitch staff to give her “sick days” payment.

Following this controversy, the streamer was banned once again on February 18, 2022. This time, the reason for her ban was that she was wearing inappropriate attire during the livestream.

In the same fashion as her second ban, she jumped on Twitter and started to explain the reasoning behind her ban and then went on to compare her attire with other well-known female streamers like Amouranth.

However, this tweet has not yet been deleted by the streamer and has gained more traction than her previous controversial tweet. One of the reasons behind comparing herself to other well-known female streamers was to highlight the bias on the platform.

The audience on Twitter reacted to the streamer’s take in an expected fashion. While some showed sympathy towards the streamer, others poked fun at her and referenced her past tweets.

Later on, TheDanDangler clarified that she was handed a twenty-four hour suspension and also notified her fans regarding the message that Twitch support staff sent her.

It mentioned uploading content, streaming yourself, co-hosts, or guests wearing attire that violates Twitch’s Nudity and Attire Policy, including showing visible outlines of genitals or exposed underbust.
