Per The Hollywood Reporter (via Kotaku), on Dec. 5, HarrisonJr tweeted, underneath a photo of himself in sunglasses and a cheesy mustache, "Come watch a registered sex offender plays [sic] Fortnite with 10 year olds!!" HarrisonJr quickly deleted the tweet, and followed that with an apology.
Straight up: this Is a fucking dumb edgelord move. You read that title right. I'm wondering if Twitch would ever bother doing something like this. 80k is nothing in the grand order of Streaming overlords but you kinda deserve to lose everything when this happens. It'll be interesting if Twitch resign him or not.
A verified streamer on Mixer lost his partnership with Microsoft after he tweeted a joke about being a sex offender playing Fortnite with kids.
Harrison "HarrisonJr" Patrick Stewart, a Mixer streamer since 2017 with 80,000 followers, summarily lost just about everything about his presence on Mixer, too. All of his past streams have been deleted, his view count has been wiped, his biography has been deleted, and the headline for the main stream (offline, of course) reads simply, "I'm sorry."
Didn't see a thread about this but before you say "who?" remember the following:
- You don't joke about sex with kids - infinitely so when you're playing a game that's geared primarily towards kids.
- You don't joke about being convicted for having sex with kids
- Repeat the above.
If you've got kids it's always worth a glance to check who they're currently following on social media. Maybe it's this kind of clown.
