Japanese FFXIV streamer receives a suspension for using add-ons.

Nah, he got report brigaded by a bunch of petty arseholes.

There is nothing petty about holding others accountable for breaking rules we all agreed on. What is petty is getting upset over being held accountable.

Moreover, most people wouldn’t be stupid enough to broadcast publicly their use of mods.

Welp. I guess many of our favorite streamers and tubers are about to get fucked over pretty hard once the brigade comes around and finds those minor quotes of "I don't think this is that bad" and decides that's more than enough.
The beauty of Zoomer culture, I guess. No wonder why touching grass is such a big deal.

The streamer has nobody to blame but themselves. They are lucky not to be perma banned. YoshiP has been nothing but adamant on his stance, so not sure where the surprise or insults are coming from.

What part of “don’t talk about fight club, don’t stream fight club” wasn’t clear?

I dunno, probably that part where Yoshi-P didn't want people to "start wars" or brigade about policing others with his statement.
Which, yes, actually, it is petty behavior to be seeking these people out just to report them.

people generally don't care for bootlicking, so that is probably where it is coming from

Frankly, anything goes at this point ever since the use of some Parsley add-on thingy with the waymarks helping clear an Ultimate happened. If a player openly uses an add-on while streaming/uploading videos after all of the ToS and warnings, then it's fair game.

The odds of him getting banned were pretty slim seeing how almost ever FFXIV streamer has ACT up. It is hands down due to the community mass reporting him that he was banned. Sure he broke ToS, but I think it is ridiculous how this community acts. I saw a demographic recently and most players are around my age between 30-40 which is probably the saddest part, this is the sort of behavior I would expect if a larger demographic was between 10-25.

So...a streamer streams WITH the add on visible?

...da hell? How foolish can a person be?

[Tigerlilley]

My take away from this is that Japanese forums are just as vicious and petty as the English ones. More so, perhaps. Brigading isn't usually tolerated.

5Chan and related forums are rather notorious for pulling stunts like this.

Sometimes they're mostly harmless and silly, like rigging popularity polls to be overwhelming in favor of someone/something extremely unpopular. Other times, they can be more...malicious.

I don't know why people are surprised that public actions will have public consequences.

It makes SENSE you'd ban the visible streamer or person breaking the rules. Reports or not. They are the public example that gets people to reconsider continuing them - and being so public about it.

This outrage over it is silly.

Its not that I agree with it. I am just not surprised and it makes sense on demonstrative public examples.
