Odablock Cancelled and Banned on OSRS

[≈Vanuckle 2,137]

As you some of you may already know, popular OSRS streamer Odablock recently announced his move to Kick:

 

 

On one of his first streams on Kick he was asked to discuss topics which he wouldn't have been able to discuss on Twitch due to their TOS:

 

 

This led to his popular GIM team series ending due to other members of the team no longer wanting to be associated with him after making these comments:

 

 

 

Today Odablock was permanently banned by Jagex on all of his Runescape accounts for "services" on his account which took place over two years ago:

 

 

 

Questions:

1) Have Jagex cancelled Oda or was the timing of this ban just an extreme coincidence?

2) Does Oda deserve to be cancelled for his comments?

3) Have Jagex gone too far with their woke agenda by banning people in game for out of game actions that don't agree with their agenda?

shameful tbh, Oda should be allowed to speak his mind without repercussions whether or not you agree with him

 

taking a man's rs acc is a step too far

I heard Stella got her jmod boyfriend to ban him for daring to make a competing deathmatch cc

1) Have Jagex cancelled Oda or was the timing of this ban just an extreme coincidence?

 

As I predicted earlier this week, he was going to be cancelled this week. I still expect a statement from Jagex tomorrow about inclusivity, though it won't directly address this situation.

 

2) Does Oda deserve to be cancelled for his comments?

 

As soon as he even discussed the topic he was a dead man walking. In 2023 you're best avoiding discussing any subject where the twitter mob can come after you.

 

3) Have Jagex gone too far with their woke agenda by banning people in game for out of game actions that don't agree with their agenda?

 

This is definitely a step too far. He didn't say anything too controversial in my opinion at least. I don't agree or disagree with his comments but banning him in game for his personal opinion is too far.

Its definitely not coincidental timing though I dont know I'd say banning the accs is equivalent to cancelling him

 

No he shouldn't be cancelled but he definitely could have handled the situation better 

 

If they banned him purely for what was said I'd say it's too far, but he was banned for breaking the rules despite the obvious fact that they looked for a reason to ban him due to what was said. Ultimately a bit different than your usual case but oh well.

I mean something bound to happen when you discuss these kinds of topics openly as Brian said, especially over the internet. 
 

It is what it is.

Man i hate this fucking woke agenda 

 

Transformers lmfao, this people arent living in reality and they all look like sht

 

There is only man and woman nothing else

Man wanting to compete in woman sports makes me sick etc

Banning Oda was targeted tbh
