A Valorant streamer known as Ishowspeed was banned from Valorant and other riot games after a clip of him screaming misogynistic insults at other players went viral.
What bitch? Is a bitch talking to me? Is a female talking to me? Get off the fucking game and do your husbands dishes bitch! https://twitter.com/JakeSucky/status/1511816024546439170
This is a huge yikes and we do NOT want players like this in our community at all. I went ahead and perma banned this player from VALORANT, as well as all other Riot Games. Thanks for raising this. Please keep raising stuff like this and reporting so we can make VAL safer. 🔨🔥 https://twitter.com/npcSara/status/1511869769217052673
This is not the only time he's been like this. Here's another clip of him screaming at a woman and admitting he'd rape her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBzVD0SLmB8
Meanwhile, Keemstar attempted to dismiss this all as "racially motivated." https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1511913163104702470
Which is ironic considering he has a history of being racist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mca5gdxWeQk&t=4s
Ishowspeed later posted an apology video. https://twitter.com/IShowSpeed/status/1511877562766868480
So Ishowspeed 100% deserved to be banned. The apology is empty and fake. It's nothing but damage control because he's desperate to lift the ban. He claims that the video was from "months ago" but there's no evidence that he's changed. The fact that there was no apology before he faced consequences does not help his case. Men like this will say anything to get what they want and we know the only thing he really wants is to play his games. He hates women and the game is better off without him.
