Hot tub streamers hit out at Twitch for \u201cunjustified\u201d bans for \u2018bikini streams\u2019 Twitter\/SpookyUnagiTwitch hot tub streamers \u2018SpookyUnagi\u2019 and \u2018SpoopyKitt\u2019 are accusing the Amazon-owned platform of banning them for \u2018unjustified\u2019 reasons following consecutive bans in a week. Bikini and hot tub streams have long been a controversial subject on Twitch. Originally part of the \u2018Just Chatting\u2019 category, bikini streams ended up getting their own category in the form of \u2018Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches\u2019 after months of debate back in 2021. Now, amid a series of bans on the site relating to bikini content, some streamers are under the impression that Twitch is trying to get rid of those streams from the site as a whole. In May, streamers SpoopyKitt and SpookyUnagi were hit with bans on the platform despite claiming that their content hadn\u2019t changed. In a series of posts, the two hit out at Twitch, calling their suspensions \u201cunjustified.\u201d @twitch @TwitchSupport So this doesn’t happen for the 3rd time in a week. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I am doing NOTHING different than what I have been doing for a year. https:\/\/t.co\/4JGnbH6Gtt \u2014 SpookyUnagi (@SpookyUnagi) May 9, 2022 Bikini streamers take aim at Twitch for bans Following her second ban in a week, Unagi explained how she was completely in the dark and had no idea what she had been doing to violate the site\u2019s rules. \u201cSo this doesn\u2019t happen for the 3rd time in a week. Please let me know what I am doing wrong,\u201d she said, tagging Twitch. \u201cI am doing NOTHING different than what I have been doing for a year.\u201d \u201cIf Twitch wants to remove bikini streaming, then do it. It\u2019s their company and their prerogative,\u201d she added. \u201cBut the category still exists. Clearer guidance needs to be posted.\u201d \u201cTwitch allows creators to build a career and a life producing content they have allowed for a year. Independent contractors working essentially \u2018for\u2019 Twitch purchase houses, cars, assets, leverage income for investments,\u201d she said in another thread. \u201cAnd they threaten to take it all away with unjustified bans.\u201d Twitch allows creators to build a career and a life producing content they have allowed for a year Independent contractors working essentially “”for”” Twitch purchase houses, cars, assets, leverage income for investments And they threaten to take it all away with unjustified bans \u2014 SpookyUnagi (@SpookyUnagi) May 9, 2022 Streamer SpoopyKitt echoed her friend\u2019s sentiment, commenting, \u201c[I\u2019ve been] hula hoop dancing in the hot tub for a year so I don\u2019t know why it would be considered \u2018sexually suggestive\u2019 all of a sudden.\u201d To further complicate things, streamers have been concerned about a blog post on Twitch that\u2018 clarified\u2019 its sexual content policy, but included no updates on bikini streams. Hula hoop dancing in the hot tub for a year so i dont know why it would be considered “”sexually suggestive”” all of a sudden. Twitch posted “”Improving the Clarity of Our Sexual Content Policy”” which stated that “”this is not a change to the policy or how it is enforced”” @twitch pic.twitter.com\/p5b8RDtKoy \u2014 Spoopy Kitt (@SpoopyKitt) May 7, 2022 Twitch does not comment on individual bans, so it\u2019s unclear what the two did to get suspended, but hopefully, they can figure their situation out and continue with their careers in peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
