Popular Streamer Redshell Gets Banned by Twitch After Playing Zenless for the First Time

A well-known Twitch streamer named Redshell was temporarily banned from the platform shortly after streaming Zenless Zone Zero for the first time. This unexpected ban caught the attention of many in the community, especially since the ban happened right after a four-hour livestream of the game. The reason given? Improper handling of terrorist propaganda.

While that sounds serious, the ban only lasted 24 hours, and Redshell’s channel was back online the next day. Still, the situation raised a lot of confusion. How could simply streaming Zenless lead to a ban? The game itself isn’t banned on Twitch, and plenty of other streamers play it with no issue. So what exactly happened?

There’s a chance Twitch’s automated moderation system flagged something in the stream incorrectly. Sometimes these systems can pick up on false positives, especially if certain words or visuals are interpreted the wrong way. Another possibility is that Redshell may have said something that the system or moderators viewed as controversial or against community guidelines — but no clear evidence or clip has surfaced to confirm that.

What’s important here is that the ban was not permanent, and it didn’t result in any long-term consequences for the channel. However, the incident sparked discussions around how Twitch handles bans, especially when they involve vague reasons like “terrorist propaganda” without much explanation.

In the end, it’s a reminder to all streamers — no matter how popular — that even a single stream can lead to unexpected issues. Whether it was an error or something else, the whole situation shows how unpredictable content moderation can be on big platforms like Twitch.
