Body painter lashes out at Twitch following \u2018unfair\u2019 ban Instagram: MizzyRoseA popular Twitch body painter has hit out at the streaming service over a temporary ban she received for an \u201cinsufficiently covered body\u201d on April 11. Mizzy is a 22-year-old Twitch personality who lives in British Columbia, Canada. She has been on the platform for a number of years and specializes in body painting \u2013 the art of painting a person\u2019s body, often to depict clothing or as part of a cosplay. As you can imagine, this is a bit of a grey area on Twitch\u2019s terms of use. While \u201cbody art\u201d is a listed \u201cexception\u201d to Twitch\u2019s terms of service, it almost always involves the use of the streamer\u2019s body as a blank canvas. In an attempt to ensure that she didn\u2019t receive any punishment from the Amazon-owned platform, Mizzy started the stream with her chest already painted, believing that by doing this, she would not violate Twitch\u2019s terms of use. This didn\u2019t stop the Canadian\u2019s account from being banned, however. Despite following the terms of service to the best of her knowledge, Mizzy\u2019s account received a one day suspension for \u201cstreaming or engaging in body-art content featuring a nude or insufficiently covered body\u201d. \u201cTwitch has banned me!\u201d the artist tweeted. \u201cI don\u2019t care if it\u2019s for a day, it still affects my account. I did nothing wrong.\u201d TWITCH HAS BANNED ME! IDC IF ITS FOR A DAY, IT STILL AFFECTS MY ACCOUNT ???I DID NOTHING WRONG. Someone is wrongfully banning on Twitch\u2019s end. @Intraventus @PrayerAlis @RayRachelTV @Twitch @TwitchSupport @TwitchPluto @ForkgirlCosplay (Like\/retweet) \ud83d\ude41 Heres before and after: pic.twitter.com\/I3InEcNE6E \u2014 Mizzyrose (@mizzycyn) April 11, 2020 Responses to Mizzy\u2019s ban were mixed. One Twitter user argued that the ban was justified, and that the 22-year-old was \u201cnaive\u201d and knew \u201cwhat kind of content you knowingly were live streaming on a predominantly gaming platform.\u201d However, others argued that Mizzy\u2019s stream stuck to Twitch\u2019s guidelines: \u201cThat banning was total bullsh*t. Everything was within Twitch\u2019s own guidelines.\u201d Given the one day length of Mizzy\u2019s ban, she is already back on Twitch. However, a ban stands against a channel even after it has returned and can lead to issues regarding partnership and monetization in the future. Regardless, Mizzy is back body painting on Twitch, deciding not to let her suspension stop her from creating the content she loves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
