Twitch streamer banned after drawing the Prophet Muhammad on stream TwitchA Twitch streamer has been banned for drawing a nude picture of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad following the decision to allow more sexual content on the platform. Twitch\u2019s decision to allow streamers to broadcast more sexual content for \u201cartistic\u201d purposes has seen mixed results, with some praising the new approach, while others think it goes too far. A day after the Amazon-owned platform implemented the changes, following the rise of the new \u201ctopless\u201d meta, the Art section on the site became overrun by explicit furry and anime drawings. Amid the chaos, one streamer, known as \u2018KennyAnimated,\u2019 began drawing a picture of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad \u2013 only to have his account banned after completing the image. Twitch bans streamer for drawing the Prophet Muhammad Depicting Muhammad in any capacity has been very controversial, as visual depictions of the Prophet are prohibited in the Islamic faith. Throughout the years, free speech activists haven\u2019t shied away from challenging the notion that they shouldn\u2019t show Muhammad by hosting drawing contests or depicting him in media. For instance, one of South Park\u2019s banned episodes, Super Best Friends, depicts Muhammad as part of a religious superhero team with Moses, Buddha, Jesus and others. The episode resulted in numerous death threats against the creators and it is no longer available on streaming platforms. On December 13, the same day Twitch decided to allow \u201cartistic nudity\u201d on the platform, KennyAnimated decided to draw a naked picture of Muhammad on stream performing a very explicit action. Shortly after finishing the drawing, a clip from the broadcast went viral on Reddit, and Kenny was banned on Twitch \u2013 though it\u2019s unclear if the reason was due to drawing Muhammad or due to what was happening in the picture. With Twitch\u2019s new policies, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion about what is and isn\u2019t allowed, so be sure to keep it locked to Dexerto for all the latest in the streaming and entertainment world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
