of course he's able to take insults, they're consistently spread all over reddit every single time they make a change. The point is not he's a bitch who can't take insults, it's that streamers have a mutual beneficial relationship with GGG. They benefit from them being ambassadors for the game, advertising it and creating content for players. And streamers benefit from the game to connect with a fanbase and earn an income. The moment a streamer becomes abusive towards GGG, there is harm being done toward the company because the streamer have a direct impact on the players and their behavior/mindset (advocating insulting GGG staff and whatnot for instance). GGG has the power to end this and they did. This both sends a message and punish toxic behavior.
if you want to punish toxic behavior on the internet, banning is really not the best way to do it, not to mention its gay af. best is to either troll or just not care. in this case the best way was to ignore the whole thing because this now sends the message that ggg will ban someone they dont like, although ppl wont complain because matthew is generally hated on reddit
so i personally would just ignore, although something like "uMad bro??" would also work
