Should Apex streamers being toxic on stream be banned from the game?

Because they are in part who showcase the game and publicize it, should Streamers caught being toxic and cussing at enemies be banned from the game? Or do we really have two separate sets of rules, ...

@Vdstrk You might as well ban most of them, starting with the big names, which I won't mention.

    What I am thinking is that if the average player would explicitly insult someone the way I have seen some streamers do, no doubts that player would be banned. So, why no one is banning streamers from the game for the same "offense" that may get anyone else in trouble?
    After all they have video proof of it happening.

    i think it could be a good way also to set an example.

      @VdstrkI don't think you got my meaning. I completely agreed with you, but if they decide to ban streamers for toxicity as you rightfully proposed, they will have to ban most of them, including the big names. Why? Because most of them are toxic.

        Yes. It is unfortunate that big streamers get away with so much. IMO.

      @Vdstrk Most of the YT's & streamers I watch aren't ever like that to randoms.

      Also, in tournaments teams usually talk to each other badly but just due to the high stress they are all under.

      Anyone who is 'bullying' someone for no valid reason IMO should be given a temporary ban.

        I understand, and I would have no problem being that in a Private environment.
        But given the number of players that watch streams live or after I think some change, either to the ToS or intervention to apply the ToS may be neede.
