Twitch streamer Quin69 came under fire on Wednesday, after saying on his stream that women are "asking to get sexually assaulted" for wearing short shorts. The clip immediately sparked responses in his chat with viewers asking "WTF" and calling him "VICTIM BLAMER69" and suggesting that he will likely get banned soon.
"When you see the underbutt that is too much, there is some sexual derived there," the streamer said while watching a clip from American dad. "I mean, you are just asking to get sexually assaulted by some deranged person, that is all I am saying."
Following the immediate backlash to his comments, the streamer doubled down on his victim-blaming, saying that women are more likely to be raped based on how they're dressed, saying "it's one of the variables" in a follow-up clip.
Quin69 has not been banned, as of writing this article, but it is quite possible he could be banned under Twitch's harassment rules, which ban derogatory statements about another person's perceived sexual practices or sexual morality. It is possible he will evade a ban though, since he was not referencing a specific person. However, In the past, streamers like TrainWrecks have received bans for the misogynistic rant in 2018, so it is not out of the realm of possibility that he will face a ban for his stance.
