Nina Lin gets unbanned on Twitch after one week drawing criticism

Nina Lin , a popular Twitch streamer, has been unbanned on Twitch after a one-week suspension that stirred a huge debate online. Her channel was first banned on October 24, 2025, after videos from a May 2024 live stream showed her and another streamer, Zoe Spencer, touching a production team member named Said without his consent. The incident led to serious accusations of sexual harassment and drew massive backlash across the Twitch community.

At first, Twitch lifted Nina Lin’s ban just one day later, on October 25, which made many users angry. They felt the platform acted too quickly to forgive her. When more old clips surfaced showing similar behavior, Twitch banned her again on October 30. Now, after one week, her channel has been unbanned, but the controversy around her name still hasn’t gone away. Many viewers and streamers are still upset with Twitch, saying the company isn’t handling such serious behavior properly.

Nina Lin later apologized during a live stream, saying she thought it was all a joke and did not mean to hurt anyone. But many viewers didn’t accept her apology, saying what happened was serious and not something to be laughed off.

After her first ban was lifted too soon, many creators, including Disguised Toast, said Twitch needed to take such incidents more seriously. They asked for stricter rules to make sure everyone, creators, fans, and production staff, feel safe during live events.

This case has become a big reminder that consent and respect are important both on and off camera. Twitch users and creators want the platform to take stronger steps to protect its community and ensure safety for everyone.
