Asmongold blames Twitch for new ASMR meta after not banning hot tub streams Twitch: Asmongold\/IndiefoxxPopular Twitch streamer Asmongold believes Twitch boxed themselves into a corner to allow the new ASMR and legging streams as they didn\u2019t ban the hot tub meta. Twitch might be home to some of the biggest, and best, gamers in the world, but the Just Chatting section has always been a sore sticking point for some streamers and viewers. In recent months, the section has been dominated by the controversial hot tub meta, as streamers sat in their beachwear for hours on end. Plenty of streamers complained to Twitch about the streams, and suggested that Twitch\u2019s lack of action against them would have dire consequences in the future. Well, that\u2019s kind of happened with the new ASMR and leggings meta. The bizarre meta has seen streamers lay in front of their cameras, licking ASMR microphones, and even cluck around in Pigeon masks. While some viewers can\u2019t get enough of it, Asmongold says Twitch is at fault for not acting sooner, and that they pushed themselves into a corner by ignoring the complaints. \u201cTwitch wrote themselves into a corner by playing into the intellectually dishonest rhetoric that they won\u2019t punish \u201cperceived attractiveness\u201d of streamers who make obviously sexual content,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cIf they do something, they side with incels, if they don\u2019t, they\u2019re SJWs. Ideology>Reality.\u201d Twitch wrote themselves into a corner by playing into the intellectually dishonest rhetoric that they won’t punish “”perceived attractiveness”” of streamers who make obviously sexual content If they do something, they side with incels, if they don’t, they’re SJWs Ideology>Reality \u2014 Zack (@ZackRawrr) June 18, 2021 Some responses quickly suggested that Twitch should just outright ban the content, or move it to a heavily moderated section. Others, though, said that if Twitch makes a change, the streamers will just find another way to make similar content. It remains to be seen if Twitch will do anything against their streams, like they did with demonizing Amouranth\u2019s hot tub streams. For now, though, it remains the new meta on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
