Who is VTuber streamer rileycs_? Twitch Catgirl Banned After Viral Battlefield 6 Clip Sparks Cheating Debate

Twitch’s gaming community has been buzzing this week after popular VTuber streamer rileycs_, known for her animated “catgirl” persona, was abruptly banned from the platform. The move came just days after clips of her lightning-fast gameplay in the Battlefield 6 open beta went viral, sparking heated debates over whether her skills were genuine or the result of cheating.

Viral Clip Ignites Controversy

On August 9, 2025, rileycs_ posted a short gameplay video on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing her dominating the Battlefield 6 open beta. Using her signature anime-style catgirl avatar overlay, she landed a string of flick shots and near-instant kills that looked almost superhuman.

The 30-second clip exploded online — surpassing 40 million views within days. While many viewers praised her skill, others claimed the accuracy seemed “too perfect” to be real. Online forums and gaming subreddits quickly lit up with debates over whether she was a sharpshooting prodigy or using illicit software.

Streaming to Prove Innocence

Amid the growing skepticism, rileycs_ went live on Twitch on August 10 to address the controversy. This time, she streamed Battlefield 6 gameplay with a hand-cam showing her mouse and keyboard — a common method pro players use to prove they aren’t cheating.

Thousands tuned in to watch, curious to see if she could replicate her mechanical precision under direct observation.

Sudden Twitch Ban

However, mid-drama, Twitch abruptly suspended her account. Visitors to her channel were met with a message stating it was “temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”

Twitch did not disclose the exact reason for the suspension, leaving fans to speculate whether it was linked to the alleged cheating incident.

One-Day Suspension Confirmed

On August 11, rileycs_ reassured her followers on X, writing: “Good news for you, im getting unbanned later today!” — confirming it was only a one-day suspension.

Though brief, the ban propelled her into the spotlight far beyond her usual audience.

Community Still Divided

The Battlefield 6 and Twitch communities remain split. Supporters argue Riley’s gameplay is simply the product of raw talent and years of FPS experience. Critics, however, insist her aim patterns look “unnatural” and demand further scrutiny.

For now, the controversy has only fueled her notoriety — and all eyes are on what she does next.
