Niknam was banned from Twitch for five days in November 2017 after going on a rant in which he called several female streamers “sluts” and accused them of stealing views from more deserving streamers. Niknam told Kotaku that the rant was aimed at “the 0.1 percent [of women] who sexually exploit themselves for views and money and hide behind the defense or veil of sexism.” He also stated that the rant was intended to be interpreted satirically. He later issued an apology on Twitter.
