Limmy slams \u201chypocrites\u201d on Twitch hot tub and ASMR meta: \u201cIt\u2019s called banter\u201d Twitch: LimmyScottish Twitch streamer Brian \u2018Limmy\u2019 Limond has weighed in on the Twitch \u2018hot tub\u2019 and ASMR drama, describing some of the content as \u201cbanter\u201d and criticizing fellow streamers for \u201cselective outrage\u201d. Previously a stand-up comedian and TV star, Limmy turned to Twitch full-time in order to facilitate his comedy career, but also improve his wellbeing and mental health. He has now been on Twitch for some time and, has become sporadically involved in the community at large. Currently, the topic dominating the community is the hot tub and ASMR \u201cmetas\u201d, which some argue are used to manipulate Twitch\u2019s guidelines on sexual content. Amouranth and Indiefoxx were banned for their ASMR streams \u2013 which mainly involved lying in yoga pants and licking microphones. Some members of the Twitch community have shared concerns about ad revenue on the site and, with the discussion in full flow, Limmy has now weighed in. In a June 20 Twitter thread, the Scot criticized those behind the outrage, describing their condemnation of the recent metas as \u201cselective outrage\u201d. \u201cSelective outrage,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what this Twitch hot tub thing is, in a nutshell. Hotshot streamers in the Recommended panel, regularly hitting out with \u201cr*tard\u201d, \u201cf**king b*tch\u201d, etc. And their chat is a cesspit. But a woman in a bikini? Who will think of the children?!\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaftLimmy\/status\/1406613215321149445?s=20 He pinpointed streamers who have complained about the hot tub and ASMR metas, only to have profanity on their own profiles and timelines. \u201c\u2018But Limmy, Twitch is 13+\u2019,\u201d he continued. \u201cOh f**king shut up you disingenuous c**t. You telling me you\u2019ve cared before this point? The stuff that is said by streamers and their chat, have you checked? Have you tweeted about it? Have you f**k.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaftLimmy\/status\/1406616859886112773?s=20 He finished his thread by suggesting that, no matter what guidelines and age recommendations Twitch puts in place, he doubts it will ever be a site that is entirely suitable for young people. He described it as \u201ctoo much of a free for all\u201d where \u201canything could happen, the streamer could say or do anything, and then there\u2019s the chat.\u201d \u201cLast thing I want to say,\u201d he finished. \u201cSome people are mentioning a female streamer wearing sexy clothing and farting into mic, as an example of indecency. Wrong. It\u2019s called banter\u2026I can respect the opinions of genuinely puritanical people, regardless of how much I might disagree. But I\u2019m on about the hypocrites, with inconsistent concerns regarding indecency. And I\u2019m suspicious of why that is.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaftLimmy\/status\/1406620805526654989?s=20 https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaftLimmy\/status\/1406628413742501888?s=20 In short, Limmy feels that those complaining about the hot tub and ASMR metas are being disingenuous given the other issues Twitch has in terms of ensuring all its content adheres to its guidelines. It\u2019s a tricky spot for Twitch to occupy, but the streaming platform has forged a reputation of sometimes being inconsistent with bans, guideline breaches and matters of this nature. However, with the ASMR meta, they took action quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
