Personally I find it hilarious that American conservatives who have for decades been advocates of silencing people for things like being against wars, sex/violence in music/film/video games, and homosexuality, are now campaigning on being victims of the "cancel culture" they themselves have advocated for.
I wonder if you're confusing public debate and a vocal minority with actual bans of things? I'm not aware of any actually banned video games in the US, for instance.
We should talk about those things in public - and not everyone will agree. That's how it's supposed to be.
It's brand new, however, to wield the power to literally cut off your political enemies from more than half of the population with a single click of the mouse.
Also this article states that Twitch that the misconduct is this:
"It said examples of this “severe misconduct” include terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, carrying out or deliberately acting as an accomplice to sexual assault and threatening Twitch or its staff."
So you're having a different debate to what the article is about.
Do you think it's wrong for twitch to ban people for: "terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, carrying out or deliberately acting as an accomplice to sexual assault and threatening Twitch or its staff."?
Banning a book isn't even in the same ball park. I think it's pathetic of the school.
Well, they already call out terrorist activities, which makes me wonder what "violent extremism" refers to. Maybe something as simple as taking a hard line against abortion and peacefully holding a sign outside a clinic could be considered violently extreme?
Interesting, however I doubt this community had any mechanism to actually ban the game, other than just saying they disapprove. Kind of like the "banned books" we all read in high school.

Indeed. The remedy here is to enforce anti-trust laws.
