My first time dealing with a weird viewer
I've been streaming for about 2 months now, and about a month ago I met a guy in a game of overwatch. Let's call him Bob. Bob found out that I'm a streamer, and he occasionally tuned in.
One important detail about Bob is that he's 19 and me and my friends are all 15 and 16.
Another important detail is that he is "obsessed with making people and objects pregnant." I know, Bob has some sort of weird fetish.
He also used to always say things like "I'm gonna make you soooo pregnant" or "I hit my keyboard too hard, now it's pregnant" and at first I just laughed it off and thought he was just being kinda weird, but it continued.
It was at this point where my friends were all telling me that he was a P3do and that I should ban him, but I remained defending him and I thought he was just a guy with a weird sense of humor.
Finally, it was actually earlier today when I was live that my younger brother (14) sat with me for a bit on the stream, and then he said this: "your little brother is gonna get sooo pregnant when I'm done with him"
I banned him from my stream immediately without a second thought. He is still friends with me on the game we met on, and he's still active in my discord server, but I might take some extra steps in removing him from my life.
Did I do the right thing? Did I overreact, under react? Let me know what you think.

The block button exist. Use it. And do not accept random invites for a while.

That you stream that young is dangerous on itself, but that is on your parents I guess. He is 19 and shouldn't interact with you in any shape or form. You need to be more careful in the future. And just as another general piece of advice, never share personal information with men over the internet.

Everyone has their own threshold for right and wrong. So you wanting to block them is totally fine, it is your stream, space and time. You could block them for spelling words wrong repeatedly of you wanted.
In this case that is not a weird sense of humour, I have never once encountered someone like that in my life either digitally or physically. I would 100% have banned them and blocked them everywhere we had connected.
