Twitch streamer Meowko confused over ban for \u201cwearing gym clothes\u201d Unsplash.com: John Arano \/ TwitchJapanese Twitch streamer Meowko was banned from the platform, and she called them out after saying the ban was for \u201cwearing gym clothes\u201d during a stream. Many Twitch streamers have faced bans for reasons they deem unfair. In 2022 alone, we\u2019ve seen Mira accuse Twitch of banning her because she\u2019s Russian, while another was banned for their cartoon emotes. Early on March 29, Meowko received a ban from the platform, and immediately the comments on social media were shocked by Twitch\u2019s decision. With comments saying that the decision was \u201cout of pocket\u201d or \u201cunwarranted and unnecessary,\u201d there was immediate backlash. \u274c Twitch Partner “”Meowko”” (@meowkolol) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/zSgQ9kCUKs#twitch #ban #secondban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83c\udf4f \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) March 29, 2022 Shortly after the ban \u2014 which also came on her birthday \u2014, Meowko spoke out against the ban, clearly somewhat confused by why it had happened. \u201cI got banned for wearing gym clothes while cooking,\u201d she said. \u201cOn the stream I just did a home workout and that made me hungry so started cooking but apparently Twitch didn\u2019t like it.\u201d She then posted screenshots of her ban email, which also suggested she \u201cused an augmented reality avatar that has insufficient coverage\u201d and \u201cwore a speedo or bikini while cooking.\u201d While Meowko and her fans deemed the ban unfair, some critics also said that \u201cif you play with fire, eventually you\u2019ll get burned.\u201d Meowko unbanned after 24 hours The streamer\u2019s gym clothes ban didn\u2019t last too long. Just a day later, she was reinstated on the platform, making for a 24-hour ban that still has some fans scratching their heads. \u2705 Twitch Partner “”Meowko”” (@meowkolol) has been unbanned after 1 day, 6 minutes and 16 seconds! \u2705https:\/\/t.co\/zSgQ9kCUKs#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\uddde \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) March 30, 2022 Meowko has yet to comment further on her ban at the time of writing, but her viewers are excited to see her get back to broadcasting, nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
