I completely understand where you're coming from. I was actually watching Twitch that day (yesterday? Jeez I thought that was earlier today)... And I thought ProBro was unusually terse/defensive/and combative. Then he stated "We ban 50% more people on Wednesday than all the other days combined." So apparently people are dicks on Wednesday. Hence his attitude, because he was taking no shit from no body. This is also the same man who received no less than 100 death threats in the first hour after his Bungie PoE reveal Twitch live stream. So: was he defensive? I think so. Was he being a dick? I'm not so sure. Yes he was being very straight forward and he was not taking any sort of criticism well, but he also has dealt with a lot of community pressure. He has his own community that follow him, support him, and love him very much. They showed immense support for him during this stream when people were calling him out for being an asshole on stream. So moral of the story: is ProBro a dick? That is subjective and not answerable in a blanket statement. I don't think so, but I do think he's put up with a lot. Was he right to ban you? Again, another subjective answer, however it's his stream and he and his moderators can do whatever they want, within the rules and policies of twitch. Should Bungie use Twitch streamers and YouTubers as community role models and leaders? Absolutely yes. I agree they need to be vetted and researched, using a streamer as a role model is no light task. But that's where the community is. That's where people who love this game are. Not everyone loves ProBro. Not everyone loves King. Not everyone loves Mr. Fruit (though I can't imagine why...) Sorry for WoT. Please feel free to respond with tl;Dr.
