Twitch VTuber PankyVT has landed in controversy after making offensive comments toward underage viewers during a recent livestream, leading to widespread outrage and calls for his permanent removal from the platform.

The incident took place on August 18, 2025, when PankyVT was seen lashing out at minors in his Twitch chat. In a viral clip that quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), he told viewers under the age of 18 to “kill yourself” and “get out,” while using explicit language throughout the rant.

The stream was deleted shortly after, but not before clips were widely circulated, sparking what many described as one of the platform’s most troubling moments this year.

Following the backlash, Twitch issued a suspension against PankyVT the same day. However, the move only fueled more anger once the ban was lifted within 24 hours. Many users criticized Twitch for being too lenient, pointing out that such remarks were a direct violation of the site’s community guidelines. Some even accused the platform of prioritizing its partnered streamers over safety.

What made matters worse was PankyVT’s own response. Instead of apologizing, he leaned into sarcasm, calling the ban a “free vacation” and even joking that he was capable of saying “far worse.” This dismissive attitude only fueled more anger, with viewers accusing him of showing zero accountability.

For those unfamiliar, PankyVT is a VTuber who streams using a digital avatar rather than appearing on camera. With over 18,000 followers, his content has mainly catered to adult audiences. But after this outburst, his name is trending for all the wrong reasons.
