Body painter hits out at Twitch for permanent ban despite being \u201cfully covered\u201d Twitter: VirtualKookieeTwitch body painter \u2018VirtualKookie\u2019 has hit out at the streaming platform after receiving an indefinite ban for a bodypainting stream, despite claiming they were fully covered up. For most people, when you think of Twitch, you think of gaming streamers and esports events running wild, but that\u2019s not always the case. Just Chatting and artistic streams are pretty popular as well. Its not uncommon to find a streamer making music in front of thousands of viewers. However, when it comes to bodypainting, that\u2019s a more controversial topic. For some, it is an art form just like any other, but other viewers argue it\u2019s inappropriate and breaks Twitch rules. As a result, body painters are constantly fighting to keep their channels afloat after being banned, with many needing to take to Twitter or Instagram to call out Twitch. Bodypainting streamer VirtualKookie, who has around 5,000 followers on Twitch and 12,000 on Instagram, took to Twitter after being indefinitely banned.

Once\u2019s done I\u2019m off. So what?\u201d VirtualKookie further noted that her ban came pretty much right after she\u2019d finished up her stream and that trolls may have played a part.

Literally, right after I ended stream for this body paint below. I was finishing my Ed, Edd, and Eddy painting. I was told my painting was inappropriate after, once, again having trolls. pic.twitter.com\/Lx7f9aZgzd \u2014 Kookie \ud83e\udd17 (@VirtualKookiee) March 7, 2021 Twitch has altered their rules on body painting a couple of times after being called out by different body painters, but these strange suspensions continue to be imposed. There\u2019s no telling if Twitch will change their rules again, or if they\u2019ll cut VirtualKookie\u2019s ban short \u2013 as of writing, her channel is suspended. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
