Twitch streamer furious over \u2018animal abuse\u2019 ban amid Alinity controversy A small Twitch streamer, \u2018SleepyMia\u2019, has lashed out at the streaming platform following her ban for animal abuse. This comes amid another controversy surrounding Alinity\u2019s behavior with her pets. SleepyMia is a smaller Twitch streamer, who had nearly 15,000 followers prior to her ban. She regularly streamed games such as The Witcher 3, as well as frequenting the \u2018Just Chatting\u2019 category on Twitch. However, on December 5 Mia incurred a ban from the streaming platform as a result of animal abuse. This led to her launching a scathing attack on the streaming platform, and their preferential treatment of Alinity, who has avoided bans despite controversy over her interactions with animals. Alinity has previously been embroiled in a number of controversies surrounding her behavior with her pets. The most recent came on December 3, when her dog interrupted her yoga pose and many felt the interaction was inappropriate. Alinity dismissed the backlash as \u201cridiculous\u201d. SleepyMia has slammed Twitch for their failure to ban Alinity, after she was banned for alleged animal abuse. \u201cI was banned for f**king animal abuse when I was playing with my f**king dog,\u201d she tweeted. \u201cThank you Twitch. Me rolling and playing with my 90lbs pitbull.\u201d Attached to the tweet was a gif of the infamous moment Alinity threw her cat overhead, for which she did not get banned. https:\/\/twitter.com\/SleepyMia145\/status\/1203055915013955587?s=20 She elucidated on the situation, explaining that she was banned for \u201caudible yelps\u201d coming from her dog. These are claims she denies, explaining that her dog rarely makes noise and none of her viewers made any complaints. She also alleged that Twitch have failed to provide any clips of the incident, fuelling her anger to a greater extent. Mia also explains that the \u201caudible yelps\u201d Twitch heard likely came from her second dog, who suffers from a collapsed trachea and so makes some unusual sounds for a dog. https:\/\/twitter.com\/SleepyMia145\/status\/1203056207923163137?s=20 She concluded her rant with another dig at Alinity: \u201cRemember kids, if you\u2019re not a precious twitch staff waifu, don\u2019t even dare to f**king TOUCH your animals.\u201d It is not the first time Twitch have been accused of preferential treatment, with many on the platform arguing their community guidelines are inconsistently enforced. Twitch do not comment publicly on community guideline violations, but may liaise privately with the streamer in question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
