Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" received the shock of a lifetime when he found out about fellow content creator Disguised Toast being banned from the platform after watching popular anime Death Note on stream.
While he never watched Death Note, Felix still had some trouble on his hands as he believed that the same publishers held the rights to Hunter x Hunter, which he has reacted to on his stream.

Many fans reacted to Felix's frantic actions, who was trying his best to limit his chances of getting banned.
