Here's why Ninja and Jessica Blevins are threatening to sue Pokimane

Over the last few days, there has been an explosion of drama on Twitch revolving around streamers Ninja, Pokimane, and JiDion. This has culminated with Ninja's manager, and wife, Jessica Blevins claiming in private messages that the couple are getting lawyers involved as they believe Pokimane is defaming them. And somehow this all started with a raid.

Though not exactly a small streamer, JiDion is the least famous of the parties here. He was a Twitch streamer who 'hate raided' Pokimane. Raids are a feature of Twitch where streamers can send all of their viewers to watch someone else at the end of their stream. Though it's often a positive way to connect with other creators, there are some that use it to actively harass and target other streamers. There was even a period during the middle of 2021 where bots were mass hate raiding streamers with slurs and other vitriolic language.

JiDion raided Pokimane and encouraged his viewers to post the comment «L + Ratio» in her chat. 'L' is a reference to people taking a loss or an 'L' for short, and a ratio is a Twitter term signalling an unpopular opinion or person through receiving more likes or engagement. Though perhaps not as verbally severe as the hate raids of 2021, the process of raiding and deliberately encouraging your viewers to say something negative to or about the streamer you're raiding, is directly in violation of Twitch's terms of service. Pokimane points this out and JiDion is then banned by Twitch for two weeks. JiDion accepts that he broke the terms of service and a ban was fair.

After this ban was issued, it was upgraded to a permanent ban, preventing JiDion from ever coming back to Twitch. Obviously JiDion didn't agree with this ban, but he specifically
