Blatant extremism and hate on Twitch, and no confidence in the reviews of reports
There is no confidence in Twitch's Reviewing of Reports, and crimes are being committed continuously because of it, with people's lives and safety being put it jeopardy.
I have reported zackwrarr a dozens of times for the last 8 months. I have reported others as well, and the bigger streamers never get held accountable. There has been no action by twitch despite this violating TOS, specifically Community Guidelines: Violence and Threats, Terrorism and Violent Extremism, Hateful Conduct, Harassment, Breaking the Law, and Harmful Misinformation Actors. This extremist behavior is illegal and is targeted towards protected groups, and has caused harm in the external world/public. Absolutely shameful of Twitch and many in the community to choose fame and profit and enjoyment over the safety of people.
I will use three examples: 2 from zackwrarr, and 1 from HasanAbi. The number of examples does not have to do with their political views, "necessarily." I do not buy into the perspective that alleged political positions dictate this type of behavior. However, zack is very clearly more of a safety threat and has quite literally tried to organize terrorism, specifically accelerationism, multiple times. Hasan on the other hand, breaks community guidelines sometimes based off of "bro-culture" that he thinks helps convince manosphere viewers and chatters to consider him cool and thus change their perspectives eventually. This is not the case, and comes at the cost of increasing violence, specifically sexual assault, especially towards women. This **** culture conduct is rampant everywhere on Twitch, from all ideologies, and even from some women.
The HasanAbi example:
1.) Hasan consciously and regularly makes ablist and sexist/**** culture "edgy jokes:" calling people schizos for having perspectives or messaging that he either disagrees with or that is mis/disinformation; using sexual action to dominate or "own" individuals, usually in the form of un-consensual behavior (i.e., can't just say "consensually and she loves it," their "mom" or "dad" or the people themselves did not consent to him saying or doing any of those actions, he doesn't decide their consent).
2.) I reported this and it is unknown if anything was done, but nothing significant like a temporary ban. His behavior did change somewhat however, at least for now.
zackwrarr example 1:
1.) zack coordinated harassment with his community and fandom to silence a journalistic and pro-social video game that had real (or based on real) stories from immigrants that helped increase understanding and acceptance of a protected class.
And before people disagree, immigration is a protected status within the US, for good reason despite the xenophobic laws that also exist. But thats a contradiction for another day, unfortunately.
2.) The game was called "Take Us North" and because of the harassment the game was removed from online exposure, because the creator felt scared for their safety.
3.) zack praised himself and his community for "single-handedly" accomplishing this xenophobic and criminal behavior.
4.) I reported this and nothing was done to him, except misinformation about how "it wasn't just him," which is technically true, but was his hateful activist organizing that accomplished this according to his own perspective and the reality of the situation.
zackwrarr example 2:
1.) zack has called for police to be fired because of their upholding the law based on community safety concerns, just because the people/groups being targeted were people he and his community sees as unworthy to have good quality of life.
2.) the most recent and most concerning example of this is zackwrarr's enticement and direction on how to "terrorize" and "make life awful" for the state of MN, especially Somalis in Minneapolis.
3.) He directs how he would have cops "persecuted" for enforcing trespass and harassment laws, wanting to create "chaos" and "anarchy."
4.) Admits to have a "goal" of "accelerationism."
5.) Below are some transcript examples from the stream on 12/27/2025:
From 5:29:24 to 5:30:13 zachwrarr has this messaging and extremist conversation with his chat and while watching the Nick Shirley video that is also blatant misinformation, here are some examples:
zackwrarr:
"Nazi soldiers are persecuted for following orders. So, I do agree with you. The cops need to be persecuted for following these orders as well. Absolutely you do that."
A chatter says:
"Their job is to respond to public complaints, not investigating and determining guilt and fraud."
zackwrarr:
"I don't care what your reasoning is."
zackwrarr:
"Somebody asked, 'What would you do if you were the police instead?...'"
zackwrarr:
"I would create a situation where the police would be afraid to defend these places because they would be worried about being persecuted. This would cause the police to leave and completely disband the police force."
"This would allow the companies and the people in the area to be effectively completely lawless and turn it into anarchy."
" That would make it completely chaotic and these people would then become terrorized by the people that are in this community that they are somehow trying to enable. Right? And so the goal is for that to happen and to make it as unpleasant and awful for them as possible. So that way they realize the mistake that they've made."
"That's the goal."
Chatter:
"It's accelerationism."
zackwrarr:
"It is. Yeah. This is the goal."
6.) This was reported and Twitch took no action and zack is continuing this extremist behavior and enticement.
What needs to be done to mitigate these issues:
1.) Bare minimum transparency (no issue of privacy concerns): in the confirmation emails for reporting violations, describe or provide a link to a the description and categories of the report that the user made, as well as a follow up with after the review has been started, and when it is completed, with a simple description that doesn't get specific about the other users sensitive information or even words or behavior, just what Twitch did, not even the reviewer information given (what Twitch Support tickets already do).
2.) zackwrarr should be banned indefinitely and Hasan banned for a month (IMO).
3.) Other streamers/users that have done similar violations should also be held accountable appropriately.
4.) Twitch needs to put in actual prevention and mitigations, mostly in the form of education and support for effected groups.
Take this seriously Twitch and Bozos. This is not a laughing matter, even if this corporate and online-exposure mishandling is.
I would love for other Twitch users to add comments on their experiences with similar reporting and violations. To emphasize the breadth of this issue, as some have already pointed out.
