Twitch streamer banned for \u201ctesting new policies\u201d with week of bikini streams Twitch: itspinkieA Twitch streamer has been banned after \u201ctesting new policies\u201d on the platform with a week\u2019s worth of bikini streams. Twitch does not, in fact, have any \u2018new\u2019 policies, but the content earned them a ban nonetheless. Twitch has a very stringent set of rules and guidelines that they expect broadcasters to abide by, but sometimes certain circumstances fall into gray areas. One gray area that became prominent throughout 2021 was bikini-clad hot tub streams, because contextual rules allowed swimwear to be worn when at a pool, beach or hot tub. They became so popular on Twitch, that the platform even introduced the \u2018Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches\u2019 category, much to some viewers\u2019 dismay. That said, many streamers would wear a bikini or beachwear and subsequently face bans, causing some debate over where the line is. This is something streamer Pinkie wanted to put to the test to kick off May 2022, with a week\u2019s worth of bikini streams. \u201cWas planning on doing bikini streams for the rest of the week to see if Twitch\u2019s new policy on it would mean I\u2019d get banned, turns out it did,\u201d she said in the May 3 tweet. \u201cGot 3 day banned already.\u201d lol was planning on doing bikini streams for the rest of the week to see if twitch’s new policy on it would mean I’d get banned, turns out it did! got 3 day banned already \ud83d\ude05 \u2014 Pinkie (@ItsPinkieTV) May 4, 2022 While Pinkie will only have to wait a few days to get back on the platform, it doesn\u2019t seem to bother her all that much that she\u2019s not allowed to stream. Which policy she was testing remains unclear, as there are no new Twitch policies regarding bikini streams. However, one respondent to the above tweet said that they were worried she was \u201cshowing too much,\u201d and so violating Twitch\u2019s policy on nudity and sexually suggestive content. While Twitch doesn\u2019t comment on individual bans, Pinkie believes her bikini streams to be the reason for her ban. In 2021, Pinkie was banned after a bizarre clip of her \u2018queefing\u2019 on stream went viral, after which she said society needs to \u201cnormalize front butt flatulence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
