Streamer Mira hits out at Twitch over ban for attire: \u201cDiscriminating women\u2019s bodies\u201d MiraTwitch streamer Mira has been banned from the platform for the second time in 2022. This time, she says the ban was because her clothing was too revealing, and that the ban \u2018discriminates\u2019 against female bodies. Mira was banned back in March, with the exact ban reason unconfirmed, but she argued it was because she is Russian and so \u201cwas born in the wrong country.\u201d This ban in March followed a previous suspension in October 2021 for nudity rules, which Mira criticized as a \u201cdouble standard.\u201d Banned once again, Mira has again criticized Twitch\u2019s decision, arguing that it \u201cis re-enforcing misogynistic system discriminating women\u2019s bodies.\u201d Mira responds to Twitch ban Following her account being suspended on December 19, Mira did not show the ban notification from Twitch, which is the only way to confirm the exact community guidelines violation. Mira did clarify, though, that it was because her \u201cnipples\u201d were visible through her shirt. This would violate Twitch\u2019s nudity and attire rules, which specifically state: \u201cWe do not permit the visible outline of genitals, even when covered\u201d and \u201cFor those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples.\u201d Mira said: \u201cIf men are allowed to have nipples poke through a shirt, then women should be too. If I choose to wear socially appropriate clothing without underwear for comfort, @Twitch staff shouldn\u2019t ban my channel for it.\u201d Twitch\u2019s guidelines do specify that the policy only applies to those who present as women. Twitch does not comment on community guidelines violations to protect the privacy of users. The length of Mira\u2019s ban is unconfirmed. While some can be as short as 24 hours, multiple bans will often lead to longer and longer suspensions, with the most severe being an indefinite ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
