American twitch streamer MoonMoon (32) angered a German viewer when he criticized German levels in Super Mario Maker 2. Because he apparently reported him promptly.
What streamer is this? The American Jesse, as “MoonMoon”, is one of the so-called variety streamers, showing various games from the colorful block game Minecraft to the dark Elden Ring. An average of 15,000 people watch him (via sullygnome).
Ironically, the supposedly harmless Super Mario Maker 2 caused trouble. This is a game in which players can create their own levels of the Jump’n’Run classic Super Mario and make them available to others.
Twitch streamers seem to have a real knack for getting themselves into trouble in the craziest ways. You can see what has already been banned in the video:

MoonMoon messed with the wrong guy
What trouble did the streamer get into? In a March 21st stream, MoonMoon was once again playing Super Mario Maker 2 when he came across a level apparently created by a German user.
He came up with a suitable anecdote: the streamer revealed that he had received an alarming email. But he didn’t know exactly what it was all about: “I received a NetzDG complaint. Do you know what that is? It’s the name of the law in Germany that governs the internet.”
If a social network does not fulfill its task of deleting or blocking illegal content, it can be reported to the Federal Office of Justice (via the Federal Office of Justice).
How did that happen? MoonMoon has a theory on that. Because before that he had left out a tirade about German levels in Super Mario Maker 2: They were all terrible. The streamer suspects that someone in Germany didn’t like it at all.
We have included the corresponding clip for you here:
Supplement 20:30 – What exactly did he get there? The streamer doesn’t say that and he probably doesn’t know that exactly. It was probably a notification of the kind you see more often on Twitter, for example.
In such reports, users are informed by a social network, in this case Twitch, that a complaint has been made as a result of one of their content. Since MoonMoon says nothing more about it, it can be assumed that the content in question was checked, but no violation could be found. Otherwise there is a risk of deletion and blocking.
In the German social networks, such reports are almost part of everyday life. For an American content creator who hasn’t had any contact with the law so far, this must be pretty strange at first.

However, the streamer stands by his words. German levels are just worse Japanese levels and they are terrible too. The email was MoonMoon’s first such complaint, so it doesn’t seem to have affected him too much.
MoonMoon is not the only American streamer for whom distant Germany poses numerous mysteries. Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp, the LoL troll on duty, recently had to learn that not everything is the same in this country as it is at home. All he wanted was to conquer the European servers in a relaxed manner and eat fast food at the same time.
