The Canadian music producer, Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known as "deadmau5", is back in a new controversy after the Twitch platform suspended his account for an insinuation he made in a live broadcast, which was taken as a offense towards the homosexual community.

Last weekend, the Canadian DJ was playing the popular Battle Royale, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds with his partner SmaceTRON. When he was transmitting the game on Twitch, at a time when he was hiding, he was surprisingly attacked, something that led him to the conclusion that someone was spying on his transmission.

Deadmau5 felt so upset and frustrated that he immediately exploded at such a trap and began to issue insults, among which some were taken as homophobic comments, the most outstanding being the following: "a fucking sniper who sucks cocks f **".

Deadmau5 before the suspension, he preferred to eliminate his Twitch channel, explaining through his official subreddit that he did not intend to return to work or associate with the platform in the future, that it was best to cut off relations with them because of their double standards.




Zimmerman claimed that he was insulting a particular person and that he was not addressing a group of people who have a sexual orientation that was not the same as he had, but he did not intend to be saying "'I am not that person, I am sorry ", Since he considers that he knows perfectly who he is and does not intend to cry and defend himself with that phrase.

The opinions of the users are varied, there are those who support Deadmau5, others are confused because they really believe that Twitch is responsible for the elimination of the channel and not that it was a protest on the part of the artist; whereas many consider that in fact the Canadian had violated the terms of service and language that the platform has.





On the other hand, it is important to add that Zimmerman is not the first time he is in this type of controversy, because in past situations he has already made very unpleasant public comments, either directed towards the LGBT community or to people with mental health problems.

Deadmau5 has been forced to announce a break in social networks after those comments very badly received by many people, leaving their management team is responsible for posting to your Twitter account. However, the music producer has been very active in Reddit this past month.
