Vitaly banned from Kick after doing Nazi salute, accuses Sneako of "snitching" on him
Controversial streamer Vitaly has been banned on Kick after reportedly making controversial gestures. At the time of his ban, the Russian-American personality had over 327K followers. The streamer already has a controversial reputation due to his on-screen antics. One of his most criticized content has been his Catching Predators series, which sees him take the law into his own hands. As the name suggests, he streams individuals who are allegedly caught interacting with minors.
His latest broadcast had a similar outcome. The streamer ended up 'catching' one such individual who may have interacted with a minor. However, the reported reason behind his suspension was due to his making some controversial gestures along with the stranger.
Vitaly and the individual were seen doing the 'Sieg Heil' salute (popularly known as the Hitler salute). This, naturally, was seen as a questionable move. Watch the contentious clip here:
Vitaly labels Sneako as "snitch" following his Kick suspension
Vitaly, one of Kick's most notorious streamers, has been hit with an indefinite suspension after making a controversial Hitler gesture during a live stream. Following his ban, he took to Discord, calling Sneako a "snitch," suggesting he holds him responsible for the suspension. He said:
"Yo chat, my Discord, my lovely people, I have just got banned on Kick. 'W' Sneako. F**king snitch. L. I know you are trying to get some clicks and views. That's it guys, I love you. Sneako, you're an L. I'm sorry, but I had respect for you."
However, it’s unclear what exactly Vitaly was referring to. Sneako recently discussed the ban during a stream with Myron Gaines. During the conversation, he stated:
"Vitaly banned? Man, free Vitaly. So stupid, I don't even know what he got banned for. They (Kick) don't know what they are doing. Kick's moderation needs to give up trying to be the moral police 'cause there is no consistency, they don't know what to do, they are embarrassing themselves."
Myron Gaines also criticized Kick, stating:
"Kick is f**king their sh*t up. Banning Fousey, banning Vitaly, you (Sneako). What are these ni**as doing? Are they trying to get cooked?"
Another streamer who recently faced a ban from Kick was Yousef "Fousey" (267K followers). During a live stream, he made self-harm comments, claiming he would use a gun on himself. The streamer has since been unbanned from the platform.
