Twitch partner Pedguin banned because of \u201csuggestive\u201d Winnie the Pooh emotes Twitter: pedguinTwitch streamer Pedguin, who has been broadcasting on the platform for a decade, has received a suspension from the platform due to emotes of Winnie the Pooh, which the platform has deemed inappropriate. In May, Pedguin\u2019s \u2018pedTub\u2019 emote, which saw Winnie the Pooh in a bikini and a hot tub, was pulled from the platform. The reason was given as \u2018sexual content\u2019. This was surprising, given that it had previously been manually approved by Twitch, before being removed, and then reinstated again after another review. And this wasn\u2019t the only emote of Winnie the Pooh to be removed, as Pedguin revealed that a series of other \u2018gasm-style\u2019 emotes had been pulled due to their suggestiveness too. ADD ONE TO THE LIST! PEDNUT JUST GOT REMOVED! Here’s a list of all our “”too sexual”” emotes that have been removed so far pic.twitter.com\/hpeSKswxQZ \u2014 Pedguin (@Pedguin) May 24, 2021 Pedguin banned over Winnie the Pooh emotes On June 21, Pedguin revealed that after 7 years as a partnered streamer on Twitch, he was to be banned \u2013 though only temporarily. \u201cIt\u2019s upsetting though as I don\u2019t think I abused the system,\u201d Pedguin said. \u201c[Twitch] never told me what was specifically wrong with my emotes, I tried changing the suffixes and the emotes to appease Twitch without guidance, but alas, a ban.\u201d It’s not a permanent ban. It’s upsetting though as I don’t think I abused the system. They never told me what was specifically wrong with my emotes, I tried changing the suffixes and the emotes to appease Twitch without guidence, but alas, a ban. pic.twitter.com\/HeEs0yhs27 \u2014 Pedguin (@Pedguin) June 21, 2021 Fans of The Yogscast member, as well as those who simply thought the ban was unfairly harsh, began using the hashtag \u2018#unbanpedguin\u2019, in hopes that Twitch will reverse their decision. Twitch\u2019s guidelines on emotes prohibit: Sexual content, such as depictions of sexual acts, arousal, gestures, aids, and attire – Nudity, such as depictions and imitations of nude torsos, buttocks, genitals, and anuses. – It continues: \u201cSevere abuse of emote submissions, including severe policy violations and repeated submissions of content previously rejected or taken down, may result in a penalty on your account. Such actions may include: removal of content, a strike on the account, and\/or suspension of account(s).\u201d Pedguin has confirmed to Dexerto that his ban will last 24 hours, and he may face possible emote restrictions upon his return.
