Brazilian Twitch streamer banned for showing Pink Floyd poster gabepiexe, Instagram \/ FreepikAs one of the most popular live-streaming platforms, Twitch boasts a wide variety of content creators, from IRL streamers to pro gamers and more. Sometimes, these streamers are hit with bans for unexpected reasons that leave them confused, including Gabepeixe\u2019s ban for a seemingly innocent Pink Floyd poster. Brazilian streamer Gabriel \u201cGabepeixe\u201d Baptista announced that he received a three-day ban from the site in a Tweet on September 23. According to Baptista, he was suspended from the platform due to showing the album cover for Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cBack Catalogue\u201d \u2013 but that\u2019s not the most mind-blowing part of the ban, by far. 600https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bz_kwibn9Na\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkAs it so happens, the album cover in question wasn\u2019t even his. Rather, Baptista was watching another streamer\u2019s broadcast during his own stream, which contained the album cover in question in view of the camera. However, it wasn\u2019t copyright infringement that resulted in Baptista\u2019s ban: the \u201cBack Catalogue\u201d art features a series of nude women with their backs turned to the camera, with their bodies painted to resemble the band\u2019s other album covers, likely posing a breach of Twitch\u2019s Community Guidelines. In his Tweet, Gabe explained that he\u2019d been banned for showing the album, which appeared on another streamers broadcast. The streamer in questions has been streaming on Twitch for over a year without a ban, with the poster in full view. \u201c\u2026Twitch will [ban] me for three days because of a Pink Floyd album frame, which appeared during a video of a [guy] who has been live on Twitch for one year and never happened,\u201d Twitter\u2019s translation reads. Rapaziada passando pra avisar que a twitch vai me pranchar por 3dias por causa de um QUADRO do album do PINKFLOYD, que apareceu durante um video de um rapaz, sendo que o mesmo faz live na twitch a 1 ano e nunca ocorreu nada, enfim s\u00f3 \u00e3visando pra vcs e pedindo desculpas\u2026 :broken_heart: pic.twitter.com\/t5VpDv64Nq \u2014 Gabepeixe (@gabepeixe) September 23, 2019 Needless to say, Gabe\u2019s ban sparked outrage across the net, with fans and bystanders alike scratching their heads at what seems to be a wildly confusing suspension. \u201cIt\u2019s album art that includes body painting, which is from another channel, but this guy get banned?\u201d one Reddit user wrote of the issue. \u201cWhat?\u201d Others pointed out that live body painting is allowed while an album containing women wearing body painting warranted a supposed ban \u2013 but this wouldn\u2019t be the first time streamers have been suspended for unexpected reasons. unspecified \u201cfraudulent charges\u201d after receiving large donations of bits from viewers using multiple accounts, only receiving automated messages in response to their queries. Thus far, both Twitch and Baptista have yet to expound upon his ban. But with multiple instances of unexpected suspensions for \u201csexual content\u201d cropping up across the site (such as a cosplayer being banned for wearing a Chun-Li outfit), Twitch is in the public eye for once again for its controversial moderation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
