Twitch has banned several high-profile Arab streamers after a panel discussion at TwitchCon sparked controversy over a tier list ranking streamers based on who could or couldn’t say the Arabic word ‘habibi.’ The bans followed accusations of antisemitism. The banned streamers include CapriSunnPapi, Fr0gan, Raffoulticket, DenimsTV, and Vio.
The panel, titled “Rating Streamers,” took place on day two of TwitchCon San Diego and saw the streamers utilizing a popular internet meme called a tier list.
The tier list labeled streamers as Arab-coded, asks permission, thinks it’s a slur, and loves Sabra, referencing Sabra Hummus, a popular brand manufactured in the U.S.
Fr0gan, Capri, and Raffoul are Arab, DenimsTV is Arab, and Vio is Middle Eastern. Two other streamers briefly participating in the panel, were not Arab or Middle Eastern, and were not banned.
The VOD for the entire second day of TwitchCon has been removed. However, the video remains available on YouTube.
Following the panel, Klein posted a video to YouTube titled “Twitch Has a Major Problem” discussing the panel, saying, “kinda Arab good, Jew bad” referencing Sabra, a brand subject to a pro-Palestine boycott. Klein’s comments drew criticism. Then, on a live-stream, Klein discussed Fr0gan, the ‘Tier List,’ Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, and HasanAbi, another political streamer.
CapriSunnPapi reacted to his ban, writing, “I’m gonna take a few days off, going live and ranking hummus just to prove a point. #hummusgate”
Raffoul, who is Jewish, wrote, “These fucks are so anti-Semitic I’m the one who made the list on ‘who can say habibi’ and they try and spin this as ‘Frogan ranking people from Arab to Jew’ keep Jews out your fucking mouth.
The Anti-Defamation League tweeted that it spoke with Twitch after becoming aware of several incidents on Twitch or involving Twitch streamers.
Twitch learned a lesson from this situation and improve how they address antisemitism hate on their platform, which is an ongoing challenge.
Twitch.
TwitchCon 2024 emphasized no place for hateful conduct.
