After accusations of animal abuse came to light against Aspen Kartier, the streaming world was thrown into a state of shock, and her Twitch channel was put on hold. What started as a short livestream clip quickly turned into a big argument, raising questions about who is responsible for what on the internet and what it means to have online power.
The situation escalated fast. Within hours, viewers were sharing clips, demanding action, and calling for a permanent ban. By Friday, visitors to Kartier’s page on Twitch were met with a stark notice stating that the channel was “temporarily unavailable,” citing a violation of community guidelines. While Twitch has not yet clarified whether further penalties are coming, the silence has only fueled speculation.
