因非裔美國人 George Floyd 之死引發的「Black lives Matters」運動為美國近期的網路聲浪焦點，Twitch 為表響應支持，在今（10）日於官方推特推出一支影片，不過內容卻遭到多位黑人實況主與創作者抗議，該影片也遭到下架。
根據 Polygon 網站的報導，在這支影片中，能夠看到 DrLupo、RubberNinja 以及 Jacksepticeye 等知名實況主站出來為「Black Lives Matter」行動發聲，並發起了慈善募款，在影片最後的一段訊息中也再次強調了對於黑人的聲量、創作者、社群以及實況主們的支持。

雖然 Twitch 影片貼文中寫道「共同努力為『黑人的命』（Black lives）帶來影響」，然而，這支影片遭到許多黑人粉絲以及創作者抨擊，表示影片中出現的人物絕大多數都是白人，而實際出現黑人創作者的時間卻十分短暫，在 1 分鐘左右的片長中，黑人實況主出現的畫面僅 11 秒，且只有一句台詞是由黑人實況主說出來的。
I'm sorry, but this is maddening to me.

Twitch talks about the importance of #BLM
YET STILL
1. Has 90% of the talking done by white/nonblack people
2. Doesn't promote any black streamers/content creators

This is a whole bucket of fail. There's a WHOLE LOT of Black Creators on here who not only speak out on this ALL THE TIME, but don't get any credit for it.

I KNOW you fuckin lyin’ @Twitch.
Don’t get me wrong. Thank you to the white folk who stepped up to help.
But where is @cypheroftyr? Where is @pleasantlytwstd? Where is @urbanbohemian? WHERE AM I?
We ALL have raised funds... but yay white people doing it? ? https://t.co/Tu3eE7C6Y6
We are fucking right here and they STILL won’t see us. What a joke. https://t.co/v2UxTxkeXs

在許多黑人創作者、粉絲以及觀眾開始於社群網站表達不滿之後，Twitch 火速將這支影片下架。
「我們已經聽到了。我們的目的是希望能夠展示同盟的重要性，這是一個我們沒有表達清楚的訊息。只有攜手努力，才能共同創造出一種正面的改變。」
We hear you. Our goal was to demonstrate the importance of allyship - a message we didn’t make clear. Only by working together can we create a positive change.

事實上，Twitch 最近在為另一個類似的議題發聲時，也曾惹出過一些爭議。
就在上週日，Twitch 也在推特上公開一支影片，希望能藉此向平台上的 LGBTQ+ 族群創作者致敬，但他們在影片中卻打上了一句「LGBTQIA+ 中的 G 也代表了 Gamer」。雖然 Twitch 隨後立即暫時下架了這支影片，並在經過剪輯後重新推出，但也已經在網路上惹出了一些爭議。
Twitch put out a video on pride and this was one of the tag lines. People are already confused about what each letter means.
