Pop Culture & Art October 22, 2024

Twitch streamer Frogan has been suspended for 30 days after making controversial remarks about US soldiers in a viral video. The clip, which circulated on X (formerly Twitter), captured Frogan stating, "I hope you get PTSD" in reference to US military personnel. She clarified later that her comments were directed at soldiers who show no remorse for their actions. Despite issuing an apology and explaining that her comments were misinterpreted, Frogan faced widespread backlash online.

The suspension was initially reported by StreamerBans, an account that tracks bans on Twitch. Frogan, in response, claimed her suspension was not due to the military comments but for unrelated reasons. She tweeted, "30 day ban for saying people like bottom of the barrel hummus but other people get 2 WEEKS for advocating for the genocide of Palestinians. Got it."

Frogan later apologized on X, stating, "I realize that wishing people harm isn't the best way to talk about these issues and that I could have talked about these topics in a more sensitive way." While some accepted her apology, others criticized her for being insensitive to veterans and military personnel.
