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, ...

I agree, as long as no one else is listening to you talking to yourself, I would guess. How a given streaming platform goes about suspension is spelled in that streaming platform ToS. But it is not an exclusive situation. There can be overlapping situations.
In the case of a stream, it is not only talking to oneself.

@Vdstrk well then that's on the streamer. And in any case, that's still something he/she did outside the game, unless he/she used the mic or the in-game chat.

You have no idea how many times I had a mental breakdown over inept teammates. But I kept it all to myself. There's so much toxicity that goes unnoticed.

    I would be surprised if a passing comment would cause any issues 🙂

    I do not take it very personally when someone tells me that I'm not too good. Being that the truth or just a false statement.
    Mostly I just move on to the next game.... eh, I know what you mean..... I blame MM for it!

      @Vdstrk I think you need to look at what someone does or say within the game, either in chat or over the mic, and leave it at that.

      Because frankly, you can stream anything on Twitch, not just Apex. So if a streamer trash talks other players without using the mic or the in-game chat, it should be on Twitch to take action, and the game certainly cannot detect that to warrant a ban.

        Sure! that is a great point. Context matters.
        That is a benefit that comes with being a streamer I guess. They can actually show context, something most people just playing the game cannot.
        I do not see that to be a deliberate "second set of rules" because it is a natural byproduct of the art they perform.
