A popular streamer on the famous platform, Twitch, is in hot water after making hateful comments against the United States military.
Bad Wishes
During a stream last week, Frogan, one of Twitch’s partners and popular streamer who self-describes herself as a “27-year-old Public Health Expert + advocate by the day and self-proclaimed gamer by the night,” spoke about one hot topic, the death of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas.
Debating the topic, the young woman who is reportedly named Morgan but goes under Frogan online, said that she has “no pity at all for any f**king soldiers.” Moreover, she added: “I hope you get f**king PTSD.”
Frogan elaborated further, explaining that she holds this position for US soldiers who have no regrets about their actions. According to the popular streamer, soldiers who have realized that their actions were “wrong” and “bad” are fine, but the ones who did not feel remorse for alleged actions against her people deserve PTSD.
While insulting the US military, the streamer was snacking and taking sips of what appeared to be iced tea. However, Frogan’s actions did not go unnoticed as she received a temporary ban from Twitch over “Targeted Hateful Conduct.” The streamer released a screenshot of her penalty which describes the reason as “Targeting another person with discrimination or denigration based on their protected characteristics.”
Posting the screen with the ban reason via her personal page on X, Frogan wrote: “30 day ban for saying people like bottom of the barrel hummus but other people get 2 WEEKS for advocating for the genocide of Palestinians. got it.”
The Streamer Accuses the US Military of “Disgusting” and “Horrific” Acts
The popular Twitch streamer also posted an explanation of her reaction and further bashed the US military. “The US military has conducted some of the most horrific crimes against humanity in the modern era in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. My anger is directed at individuals who are currently championing these war crimes as if they “liberated” my people,” she wrote.
Frogan deemed those actions as “disgusting and horrific.” Still, she admitted that her reaction during the stream was poorly worded and apologized for it. Further clarification by Frogan reveals that she doesn’t condemn all US military personnel but “specifically those with no remorse.” She wrote that she was frustrated that her family was bombed “in the name of ‘liberation.’”
The streamer’s position isn’t surprising but at the same time, it is confusing, considering that the US hasn’t deployed military forces in Lebanon recently. At the same time, no US troops have participated in the combat actions in Palestine for some 10 years. Still, it’s important to note that the US does support Israel’s fight by providing weapons.
