A California man is suing Twitch for $25 million in damages for being exposed to “overly suggestive and sexual content” on the site, according to court documents.

The 56-page lawsuit filed by Erik Estavillo and obtained by Dexerto includes images of numerous scantily-clad female Twitch streamers. The summons was officially served by the Superior Court of California on June 19.

In the complaint, Estavillo says he’s a sex addict who also suffers from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Crohn’s disease, so he “heavily relies on the internet for all his entertainment purposes.”

“Twitch has extremely exacerbated his condition by displaying many sexually suggestive women streamers through Twitch’s twisted programming net code, making it nearly impossible for the plaintiff to use Twitch without being exposed to such sexual content,” the complaint says.

The complaint also says that Estavillo is following 786 female streamers and zero male streamers on Twitch. Some of the broadcasters mentioned by name and image in the complaint are Pokimane, STPeach, Pink Sparkles, and Alinity.

“In addition, Twitch also takes advantage of the plaintiff and many other sexually addicted viewers by allowing them to ‘Subscribe, Donate, or Pay Bits’ to these women streamers,” the complaint says. “Twitch uses this immediate gratification reward system against their sexually addicted viewers no different than how a Casino would.”

Estavillo’s “request for relief” in the complaint includes the permanent banning of every streamer mentioned in his report, along with $25 million in punitive damages to be split between himself and all other Twitch Prime Turbo subscribers—with whatever’s left going to COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter charities.

Estavillo has previously sued Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Blizzard Entertainment in the past for various reasons. All of the previous cases have been dismissed.

Tl;dr: A man named Erik Estavillo (who claims to suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Crohn’s disease) has sued twitch for 25 million because he is apparently a ¨sex addict¨ and believes Twitch has taken advantage of him and others like him by allowing them to view sexual content and subscribe and donate to the streamers and because the algorithm tends to suggest it a lot. He has claimed that Twitch has made his apparent ¨sex addiction¨ worse since it keeps suggesting it to him and at the moment he is following over 700 female streamers.

So I don´t think I need to explain why this lawsuit is so absurd. The dude is basically suing Twitch because he apparently has a problem. Like I get seeing sexual content is kinda annoying but it is not hard to filter it out and or just ignore it. It is just such an absurd case I wanted to see what you guys think about it.

700?

Sweet Jesus.

[Andsed]

700?

Sweet Jesus.

Yeah, over 700 and growing. And following no males. Quarantine has done things to all of us.

Sounds like a you problem. Take a hike? Read a book? Draw furry porn?

[State of Turelisa]

He should try taking cold showers, and, failing that, chemical castration.

[Geneviev]

That's somewhat ridiculous.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

[Dumb Ideologies]

I stumbled on some of the detail of the lawsuit posted elsewhere and oh boy I wish I hadn't

[Purpelia]

People like this are the reason we can't have nice things. Back in the good old days if you had an addiction you just had to deal with it on your own. And society would do the right and proper thing of looking down on you in disgust until you did. These days society is wired so as to support everyone's weaknesses and illnesses instead of punishing them and this is what happens.

[Estanglia]

This is pretty ridiculous.

[Gravlen]

It's funny as long as you don't think about the fact that he's mentally ill.

[The Imperial Magocracy of Galazkaban]

Eventually you fap less. You can't fap forever, I tried when I was thirteen.

[State of Turelisa]

It's funny as long as you don't think about the fact that he's mentally ill.

He's not mentally ill. He's a very naughty boy.

[Saiwania]

The lawsuit seems frivolous to me, but can't blame a man for trying to get an easy way to become rich. A ton can be done with $25 million if someone isn't wreckless. Most people wouldn't have to work for a living indefinitely with that much, and parking it into a good enough index fund or good real estate, it'd multiply and sustain itself in terms of a fortune.

[Estanglia]

He's not mentally ill. He's a very naughty boy.

From the OP article:

In the complaint, Estavillo says he’s a sex addict who also suffers from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Crohn’s disease, so he “heavily relies on the internet for all his entertainment purposes.”

Dude obviously has some screws loose and probably needs to get that looked into before he has Twitch pay for his horniness.

[The Imperial Magocracy of Galazkaban]

He's not mentally ill. He's a very naughty boy.

I disagree, a good fap, especially if it involves furry porn, is good for the heart and soul.

This man just needs a Communist state to set him on track. Ya'll dumb, give me a post, I'll take care of you, if you pay me.

Probably should have included that my summary. Though I don´t know if he has been medically diagnosed.

[Kyundao]

He follows 700+ female streamers and no male streamers? Yeah, he needs to get his shit fixed.

[Vetalia]

He follows 700+ female streamers and no male streamers? Yeah, he needs to get his shit fixed.

"sex addict who also suffers from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Crohn’s disease"

That is putting it mildly.

I seriously don't want to know what other problems he has.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Ah yes, another one of those superfluous lawsuits from someone who has no self control and no sense of personal accountability and responsibility.

[Dresderstan]

Remember when some dude tried to sue the NFL because of the "sexual content" JLo and Shakira, this is basically just that, except even more ridiculous and stupid.

[Pepecott]

Hmm. If the guy can't control himself he should find some other hobby. Even just block image and video. The content provider cannot predict everything a person could get ill obsessed with, and that is just the world we live in.

[Gravlen]

I couldn't say either, but apparently he asked a judge in 2010 to bar him from filing any more lawsuits without approvals from his psychologist and psychiatrist, adding that he was on bi-polar meds.

That's not a great sign.
