Mang0 didn't exactly reveal what exactly got him banned from Twitch, however, users have pointed out an interaction Ludwig had on his stream as a possible indication of the reason behind the ban.

During his never-ending subathon, he received a text from Mang0 saying "he might have humped an anime figurine too many times."

Users have found a clip of the moment, with Mang0 utilizing a figurine in a suggestive manner while accompanied by Jose "Lucky" Aldama.

The 29-year-old followed his first tweet by sharing MsBananas tweet criticising the recent hot-tub streaming trend, seemingly trying to imply the irony of his situation, as these types of borderline NSFW broadcasts are allowed on the platform.
