Streamer slams Twitch for banning \u201cbooty\u201d emote while allowing new ASMR meta Twitter\/mushu_laA streamer is calling out Twitch\u2019s hypocrisy for allowing a controversial new ASMR meta while banning an emote featuring a \u201cbooty\u201d from her channel. Twitch\u2019s new ASMR and legging streams have taken the platform by storm in recent weeks. In it, female streamers lie in what is considered by many to be sexualized positions while they lick their microphones. Just like with the hot tub meta before it, which ended up resulting in the creation of a new category on the site, streamers are accusing Twitch of double standards for what is and isn\u2019t allowed. On June 17, streamer Mushu called out the site for removing an emote on her channel featuring a monster\u2019s \u201cbooty.\u201d A story in 2 parts Like I don’t give a damn what you stream, but HAVE THE SAME RULES FOR EVERYONE pic.twitter.com\/jP9edAt9EP\u2014 Mushu (@mushu_la) June 17, 2021 Taking to Twitter, she posted an email she received from the Partner Conduct team, explaining how her emote had been reported for breaking the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Alongside the email, she uploaded a photo of Kaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa showing off her backside while licking a microphone to point out the double standards. \u201cA story in two parts,\u201d she captioned. \u201cLike I don\u2019t give a damn what you stream, but have the same rules for everyone!\u201d I asked support and got auto \u201cfuck off\u201d reply \u201cthe reason had to be stated in the email.\u201d \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 Mushu (@mushu_la) June 18, 2021 Additionally, when she reached out to Twitch for more reasons why her emote wasn\u2019t allowed, she was stonewalled. \u201cI asked support and got auto \u2018f**k off\u2019 reply \u2018the reason had to be stated in the email,\u2019\u201d she explained. It should be noted, however, that Mushu made it clear she wasn\u2019t targeting Amouranth specifically but was using her to prove a point. \u201cIt\u2019s not about Amouranth,\u201d she insisted when replying to a fan suggesting everyone mass report her channel. This isn\u2019t the first time that Twitch banning emotes has caused controversy. As Dexerto previously reported, a streamer\u2019s emote of Winnie the Pooh in a hot tub while wearing a bikini was removed by Twitch despite hot tub streams being at their peak popularity. So far, the site has remained quiet on the whole ASMR meta, but given how the hot tub category was created to better cater to advertisers, it will be interesting to see how things develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
