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 I think there is a difference tho. Streamers yelling at their stream about an opponent arent yelling at the actual person in their ear. And I generally watch people that play as teams so I never see them call their teammates anything.

Are there streamers that sound toxic on their streams? Yes but it is allowed by the platform. You have to be directly toxic to get a game ban.

The person who has been yelled at may be watching the stream afterwords and discover what happened.
Also, it is clearly witnessed by hundred if not thousands of bystanders. I believe there is no excuse to avoid issuing reprimands for streamers being toxic and calling opponents a derogatory selection among a variety of names.

    Well I suppose it would be possible to report it.
    I mean, devs watch streams.... so I am puzzled why nothing has yet happened.
    The question is, are rules for everyone, or do we clearly have someone above the rules?

@hayhor For Xednim, he was trying to get predator in Season-3 and has been streaming for a long time and getting tired.
Then chat start getting toxic and start insulting him so he got triggered. Chat easily record it and report to twitch and he got ban.

  @asukojo Ok but he was abusing people directly too. That is different and that is my point.
