Twitch has hit Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel’s son with a permanent ban on the platform after the teen appeared to shoot his father with a toy gun on stream.
Like father like son. Just like his dad, Destiny’s son ‘Nathaniel The Memer’ has been indefinitely banned from the site.
During the stream, Nathan loaded what appeared to be a toy Airsoft gun before walking off-camera and seemingly firing it at his dad, causing him to scream out.

In an email sent by Twitch, the site decided toban the creatorfor “serious violent threats” and referred to his stream title as the reason for the indefinite suspension.
The ban has already caused controversy, withAsmongoldspeaking out against it.
“It doesn’t need to be an indefinite. This is like a three-day, a week maybe. It’s a joke. It’s obviously a joke,” he slammed. “Chill out. It’s so weird to me. What kind of f***king morons are running things over there? I know what kinda morons – it’s people that don’t like Destiny. It’s not principled. There’s no logic involved in this.”
