Estavillo says he suffers from depression, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), Crohn’s (chronic inflammatory bowel disease), agoraphobia and even sex addiction because he was “too dependent on the Internet to entertainment”.

Estavillo is only following 786 female streamers without following a male streamer, and according to the lawsuit, it is “nearly impossible for him to use Twitch without being exposed to such sensitive content.” Videos with thumbnails of “cool” female streamers are regularly exported to him, and Twitch doesn’t have any gender selective feature. Estavillo also named some female streamers who “show sensitive content on a daily basis” for him like AmoranthAlinity, Pokimane, …

Estavillo asked Twitch to permanently ban all female streamers named above for violating the terms of the platform as well as demanding $25 million in compensation for him and other similarly affected users.
