During Kai Cenat's "Mafiathon 2" subathon, a highly controversial incident unfolded involving magician Max Major. Max staged a shocking stunt where he climbed onto a scaffolding with three nooses behind him and instructed Kai to pull one of three color-coded cords, seemingly implying the choice was crucial. Max then placed a noose around his neck, and when Kai pulled a cord, the magician appeared to be briefly hanged.

The unsettling act caused immediate distress among Kai and his team. Later, Max revealed in a pre-recorded video that the entire stunt was a planned illusion.

After witnessing the prank, many Adin Ross fans criticized the perceived double standards and alleged foul play, considering the streamer's 2023 Twitch ban stemmed from a relatively minor infraction.

Some of these reactions were blunt and straight to the point, claiming Adin did no wrong and that Twitch is a biased platform. Here's what @LoopedQ had to say:

"Adin did nothing wrong, Twitch is just biased."

@therealstro_ claimed Twitch has a strange way of going about bans:

"That's because Twitch is picky and choosy with who they give bans to. They are way too inconsistent."

Others, like @XMaineiac, claimed Twitch has a more liberal stance on things, which is perhaps why Adin was banned and Kai wasn't.

"I'm not saying Twitch is a left-wing haven for those who hate normal people, but it is exactly that."

Many, including @ceodills, claimed Adin needs a shot at redemption:

"Justice for Adin Ross."

Revisiting Adin Ross' 2023 Twitch ban amidst the Kai Cenat and Max Major controversy

youtube-cover

Adin Ross was permanently banned from Twitch in February 2023 for displaying unmoderated hateful conduct in his stream. The incident involved him broadcasting chat messages from his Kick channel during a Twitch stream for over 20 minutes, where viewers posted racist and antisemitic comments.

Twitch's community guidelines prohibit content that promotes hatred, prejudice, or intolerance, and the lack of moderation or action to address these comments led to the ban. In a podcast with the FULL SEND crew, Adin opened up about his ban:

"I got indefinitely suspended from Twitch because my Kick chat box was in the top right, and dude, they've never banned nanyone over that."

This was not an isolated event; it marked Adin's eighth Twitch ban. Past issues included broadcasting inappropriate content, controversial behavior, and other violations of Twitch’s guidelines. The cumulative nature of these infractions may have contributed to Twitch's decision to make this ban permanent.
