Twitch streamer banned for a week for looking at a BTTV emote Twitch\/BTTVA streamer has hit out at Twitch for banning him for a week after he looked at an emote on the front page of BetterTTV. BetterTTV, sometimes referred to as BTTV, is a browser extension that enhances the Twitch experience by providing an assortment of new emotes and features. Some of the most famous Twitch lingo, such as MonkaS, KEKW and Pepega are all BTTV emotes and have become staples of Twitch chat culture. However, not all of these emotes are necessarily approved by Twitch itself. On May 11, Twitch streamer alternateAU was banned for 7 days, for \u201clooking at this emote which was on the front page of BTTV.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/alternate_AU\/status\/1392047803694600193 The emote in question was said to be \u201csexually explicit\u201d by the Amazon-owned platform. \u201cSo I have been banned for 7 days for looking at this emote which was on the front page of BTTV yet [hot tub streams are] allowed in the Just Chatting section?\u201d he rhetorically asked. \u201cDouble standards from Twitch? See you homies in a week.\u201d He went on to add in a reply that this was the first time in three years he had been banned, so to receive a seven day suspension with such a clean record was \u201cpretty wild.\u201d I\u2019ve streamed for 3 years, clean record no bans so pretty wild to get 7 days. Going to be chilling in discord for the week, watching movies, join if you want to hang:https:\/\/t.co\/OAwCLVX8YC \u2014 alternateAU (@alternate_AU) May 11, 2021 The content of the emote undoubtedly violates Twitch\u2019s community guidelines, but AlternateAU and his followers criticized Twitch over perceived double standards. \u201cTwitch is an actual joke at this point, hate to bring up hot tub meta but literally this gets banned and that\u2019s fine, double standards all the way,\u201d one response said. https:\/\/twitter.com\/AS43twt\/status\/1392057165188321281 \u201cI\u2019m willing to assume they\u2019re going for the full \u2018Women Empowerment\u2019 route but have no idea how to run it properly without thinking of the consequences it brings to other female streamers,\u201d another responded. With this ban, it\u2019s probably a good idea for other streamers to beware of certain BTTV content in the future at the risk of potentially getting banned themselves.
