The controversial Twitch-Streamer Nina Lin faces a major backlash for her latest stream, where she was caught stealing from a self-checkout at Target. Her community quickly picked up on it and started reporting her on twitch. Now she's banned – again.

She's Scanning The Butter, Not The Steak

The clip from Nina Lin's stream went viral online. She's scanning her items while criticizing the cost of them. While trying to be sneaky by putting a stick of butter on top of a steak's barcode to save some money, her viewers quickly noticed what was really going on. She holds the two items into the camera while she clearly only scans one of them.

We are too poor for this.

On Instagram, her channel has half a million followers. On TikTok, we're talking about 4 million followers. While she's complaining about the prizes, she animates her viewers to subscribe.

Users are asking Twitch to get her permanently suspended from the platform – a reasonable demand since this isn't her first offence.

Promoting Crime Online

In October, she already faced a serious backlash because footage from her and Zoe Spencer touching FaZe Silky's assistant inappropriately appeared online. The assistant later stated that he felt assaulted by the encounter with the two Streamers.

It's embarrassing for him as a guy.

Her response wasn't an apology or self reflection but another hurtful statement. Another clip that came up was about her and fellow streamer Disguised Toast, who she was touching in a later described "uncomfortable manner."

The public backlash led to some mild suspensions for Nina Lin, her account was only banned for a day. Comments and viewers were outraged by the fact that the platform didn't take any further actions.

Viewers Waited For An Apology, They Got Bragging Instead

Another clip of the Streamer went viral after her latest Twitch ban. She's talking about how she doesn't care that she stole the items. No one lost money in her opinion and the viewers should put that clip on X as well. Her statement is followed by some other vulgarities.

I got these from Target as well, you wanna know how much I paid? 3.99!

Nina Lin proudly holds a pair of winter boots into the camera while she brags about how she stole those as well. At this point, the viewers cannot comprehend how she still didn't get completely banished from the platform.

What do you think? Should Twitch react to streamers like that sooner and banish them for good? Or do you agree with the way it was handled? Let us know in the comments!
