Jynxzi's Twitch account hacked and briefly banned before quick recovery
With over 7.5 million Twitch followers and nearly 5 million YouTube subscribers, Jynxzi is one of the most recognizable names in streaming. His recent collaboration with fellow creator IShowSpeed on an upcoming Fortnite tournament with a $100,000 prize pool had further solidified his standing in esports entertainment.
The chaos began around 3:39 PM when Jynxzi's Twitch account was suddenly banned. Twitch cited 'hacking and platform manipulation' as the reason for the action, listing offenses such as DDoS, phishing, and exploits in its policy. A message from Twitch mentioned: 'Due to the severe nature of this violation... your access to Twitch services is indefinitely restricted.'
Jynxzi quickly responded via X.com (formerly Twitter):
Just got banned on Twitch temporarily because someone hacked into my account
Hopefully we can return today. — Jynxzi (@jynxzi) July 17, 2025
Roughly 30 minutes later, Twitch reversed the ban, allowing Jynxzi to resume streaming. The identity of the hacker remains unknown, and it's unclear how the breach occurred.
This event reignited conversations around Twitch account security and the vulnerability of high-profile streamers. While Jynxzi's channel remains intact, the incident is a stark reminder that even top-tier creators face cybersecurity risks.

Is Israel the real villain in Gunn's 'Superman'?
James Gunn's Superman may have opened to a heroic USD220 million at the global box office, but much of the conversation surrounding the film has been less about capes and more about geopolitics. The film's depiction of a fictional war between two nations — Bovaria and Jarhanpur — has triggered a firestorm of commentary online, with political influencers accusing the film of being a veiled allegory for the Israel's genocide in Palestine. In the film, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor sparks a violent confrontation between the two nations. Superman intervenes as Bovaria, portrayed as the aggressor, attempts to invade its defenceless neighbour. Since its release, commentators across the ideological divide have taken to social media and YouTube to dissect what they see — or don't see — as an unmistakable parallel. Twitch streamer and left-wing political influencer Hasan Piker described the film as "two hours and like 10 minutes of f—k Israel the entire time," calling any denial of allegory "a lie." His viral video has since gained traction among pro-Palestinian voices online, many of whom hail the film as a bold and timely critique of Israel's recent military operations in Gaza. On the opposite end of the political spectrum, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro dismissed the entire debate. "Only those with a left-wing brain would try to read this as a Gaza allegory," he said in a rebuttal, adding that the film "does not match up to the facts" of Israeli military actions and accusing viewers of "inventing a political agenda." As per Variety, the film's perceived message has fractured audiences, with headlines asking, "Is the new Superman movie anti-Israel?" and "Is the new Superman movie about the Israel-Hamas war?" proliferating across digital platforms. Gunn himself addressed the speculation in an interview with The Times of London prior to the film's release. "When I wrote this the Middle Eastern conflict wasn't happening," he said, referring to his completed script in May 2023 — several months before the current escalation in Gaza. "It's an invasion by a much more powerful country run by a despot into a country — [that] has totally no defence against the other country. It really is fictional," he explained. That disclaimer, however, has done little to contain the swirl of online discourse. The controversy arrives on the heels of earlier right-wing backlash, after Gunn referred to Superman as "an immigrant" — prompting accusations of "SuperWoke" politics from outlets like Fox News. Even the White House waded in with a tongue-in-cheek jab, photoshopping Donald Trump onto Superman's body in a mock poster touting "the American Way." At the LA premiere, Gunn's brother and actor Sean Gunn defended the filmmaker. "Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants," he said. "If you don't like that, you're not American." Superman is now playing in cinemas worldwide.

Coldplay's Chris Martin apologises to fans for live performance error
Coldplay's Chris Martin has apologised to fans after forgetting the lyrics during a live performance of 'A Sky Full of Stars' in Toronto as part of the band's 'Music of the Spheres World Tour.' The incident occurred when Martin missed his cue to start singing, leading the band to stop playing mid-song. 'I f----- up, I f----- up. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,' Martin told the audience, according to a TikTok video shared by a fan. He added, 'I forgot to come in on the right line. Now, normally, I do stop this song as a joke but I did genuinely just make a big mistake, so please forgive me ... I'm so sorry. That was an actual f--- up. S---. Oh, balls.' Martin briefly spoke with his bandmates on stage before returning to the microphone, saying, 'This is the benefit of being in a band with your brothers for 30 years.' He further addressed the audience, stating, 'Listen, I'm so sorry, I forgot the words. I forgot what to say. It happens sometimes when you're my age. I'm nearly 80 years old,' before requesting, 'Don't put that on YouTube, if you please.' Despite Martin's request, the clip circulated online, with many fans expressing understanding of the error, calling the concert 'magical' and noting that 'mistakes happen.' Coldplay's tour, which began in March 2022, will continue with sold-out shows before concluding with final performances in Hull and London.
