Asmongold has thrown together a wishlist of banned creators he thinks Twitch should welcome back, and the names are getting people talking. The OTK co-founder listed Destiny, Ice Poseidon, Sneako, and Nick Fuentes as people who deserve a second shot on the purple platform.
To be clear, this is just Asmongold talking. Twitch hasn’t announced anything, and none of the four are coming back based on a streamer’s opinion. But when a top-tier Twitch voice groups these four together, people notice.

The list is the story here. Each name carries completely different baggage.
Destiny was permanently banned in 2022. Twitch never publicly explained why. Destiny himself has said he believes it was tied to comments made during a dispute with online trans activists, but that’s his theory, not a confirmed reason. Of the four, he is widely seen as the most defensible case.
Ice Poseidon, or Paul Denino, has been banned since 2017 after a viewer called in a bomb threat on a flight he was about to board, forcing the plane to be evacuated. The IRL pioneer was hit with a permanent suspension, and nearly a decade later, he is still locked out. Some argue the ban is harsh since the bomb threat came from a viewer, while others point to his long pattern of provocative broadcasts.
Sneako moved from YouTube fame to livestreaming and has been deplatformed across multiple services for inflammatory content and his association with controversial figures. Even people sympathetic to unban talk tend to agree he’d likely break Twitch’s rules again within minutes of being restored.
Nick Fuentes is the odd one out by a wide margin. The far-right streamer, widely described as a white nationalist, has been removed from platforms, payment processors, and infrastructure services over extremist rhetoric. His inclusion pulls Asmongold’s list from “debatable moderation” territory into far more explosive ground.
Putting Destiny next to Fuentes arguably hurts Destiny’s case more than it helps. Lumping an IRL streamer banned over a viewer’s actions with an openly extremist commentator flattens four very different situations into one bucket.
