“Let’s all pay more attention to what we say online, it has a real impact on people on the other side of the screen.” In her latest video, Squeezie wanted to teach about online behavior. To do this, he adapted on YouTube a concept that has appeared on Twitch in recent years: the court of the banished.
permanent exclusions
On the live streaming platform, the interactivity between a streamer and their community goes through a chat where viewers can comment on the games or just engage in a discussion. But some go too far.
Therefore, exclusions can be temporary or permanent. In this case, offenders are given the opportunity to plead their case via a message sent to the streamer and their moderation team. It is these messages that are examined during a marginalized court.
Behavior under condition of anonymity
To bring this concept to YouTube, the most followed French videographer on the platform has decided to take on the sanctioned individuals in a real court so that he can plead his case. All in order to “discover the difference between a human IRL (in real life) and how he behaves online when he’s anonymous,” Squeezie says.
Accompanied by Gotaga, a streamer and creator along with Squeezie and Brawks of the “Gentle Mates” esports team, and Kameto, also a streamer and manager of an esports structure, Squeezie had to evaluate the excuses and attempts of the exiles to appease the three. jurors and make their comeback in the chat.
The framed viewers were first confronted with their faults in exposing the sanctioned posts before participating in a mini-sketch. False allegations have led the culprits to defend themselves against insults to streamers or between viewers, spoilers or physical denigrations.
Of the seven people present, five obtained a pardon and were thus reincorporated into the active community of one of the three streamers. The video ended with a final pedagogical reminder from the cameraman: “Words have an impact. And people often forget that on the Internet.”
