Banned hot tub streamer claims Twitch \u201csimply doesn\u2019t care\u201d about transgender creators Twitter: Anne AtomicA banned hot tub streamer named Anne Atomic has claimed Twitch \u201csimply doesn\u2019t care\u201d about transgender creators after getting suspended for reports of \u201cadult nudity\u201d by stream trolls, despite wearing a standard bikini in her broadcasts. Anne Atomic was ecstatic when Twitch introduced a hot tub category followed by hundreds of diversity tags. It created the perfect foundation for her popularity to snowball, and her numbers climbed exponentially. However, the increased numbers also reportedly led to constant raids from transphobes who flooded the chat with hateful comments. They even went as far as reporting her for \u201cadult nudity\u201d despite the fact she hadn\u2019t broken any rules \u2013 which ultimately resulted in her ban. With nowhere to turn after feeling like she had been hung out to dry by a company that didn\u2019t support her, she vented about her situation in an interview with Kotaku and slammed Twitch for \u2018not caring\u2019 about transgender creators. \u201cI am without a doubt the biggest magnet for hate and transphobes on Twitch as the first, and still the only, transgender hot tub streamer,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it\u2019s just inevitable with the tag. We aren\u2019t forced to use it, though. But I prefer not to hide who I am, and I use the platform as a means to educate people.\u201d But when that hate culminated in her getting banned from the platform indefinitely, she claims Twitch has done little to resolve the issue. And when she tried to appeal the suspension, they only responded to with automated responses. \u201cI get constantly reported by transphobes and misogynists on the platform.\u201d \u201cI really can come to no conclusion except that they either triggered an auto-ban due to reports volume that no one bothered to review since I\u2019m not a partner, or that I scorned the ire of a Twitch admin who did not like what I was doing.\u201d At the very least, Anne wants them to tell her what she did wrong specifically. But she believes that won\u2019t happen. \u201cThey simply don\u2019t seem to care enough to even bother reviewing things or so much as even giving a canned reply,\u201d the Twitch streamer said, \u201cBeing one of the biggest trans streamers on the platform still is very small by their standards and doesn\u2019t mean much.\u201d Anne loved being a pillar in her community and feeling like she impacted people\u2019s lives. But now that\u2019s all been taken away without a good explanation as to why, and it\u2019s left her feeling \u201cdevastated\u201d and uncertain about her future plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
