Why did Minx get banned on Twitch?

JustaMinx recently took to her Twitter handle to announce that she has been banned from the platform for a week. She also revealed the reason behind her suspension. 

According to her tweet, she was apparently banned for use of hateful slurs or symbols. However, in a follow-up tweet, the streamer explained that the company’s Terms of Service against the use of those terms would only be effective starting next month.

Twitch has recently updated its hateful conduct and harassment policy, which does not permit its users to use words like “simp,” “incel,” and “virgin” on the platform in a derogatory way. The streaming service had stated earlier that the new policy will get into effect starting January 22. Sara Clemens, Twitch COO had also stated recently that apart from the change in policy, the company is also denying emotes that include the word 'simp.'
