YouTuber goes viral pretending to be the Twitch staff that banned Indiefoxx YouTube\/Sweeneytv\/Instagram\/IndiefoxxA YouTuber has gone viral after uploading a hilarious video where he acts out being the Twitch staff member responsible for banning Indiefoxx after her controversial ASMR streams. Twitch appeared to take a stance against the new ASMR earlicking \u2018meta\u2019 by banning both Indiefoxx and Amouranth for three days back on June 18. However, the fact that it took so long to do so and the length of the bans were not well-received by others in the Twitch community. Big names such as Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel and Natalia \u2018Alinity\u2019 Mogollon have spoken out, accusing the platform of double standards while not doing enough to stop sexual content. With the Amazon-owned platform\u2019s rules still up for interpretation and the site not commenting on individual suspensions, YouTuber Sweeneytv had quite a lot of material to work with for his sketch. In a video titled \u201cPOV: the Twitch mod who banned Indiefoxx,\u201d Sweeneytv showed what he imagines Twitch would be like if revealed what happens behind the scenes to decide suspensions. \u201cHow\u2019s it going there, I work for the Twitch staff, I\u2019m one of the moderators. Today, I\u2019m going to be viewing Indiefoxx to see whether or not she\u2019s breaking our sexual guidelines,\u201d he began, showing Indiefoxx\u2019s stream alongside his. While the video of Indiefoxx was blurred, Sweeneytv joked that at Twitch, they like to upload these videos to YouTube so viewers can see what happens \u201cbehind the scenes.\u201d The video continued with Sweeney watching footage of Indiefoxx lick her ASMR mic, viewing it as a form of \u201cartistic expression\u201d while her yoga pants and sexual pose was just \u201cergonomically friendly.\u201d Eventually, he needs to consult Twitch\u2019s guidelines on what is acceptable or not. Only after reading about how having a camera focused on a streamer\u2019s \u201cbreast or buttocks\u201d is prohibited, the \u201cmod\u201d made the call to ban her. The relatively short video spread like wildfire on YouTube, amassing over 500,000 views since being uploaded on June 19. Viewers got in on the fun too, with one commenting \u201ctrue professionalism.\u201d \u201cQuality gameplay, I\u2019m surprised she hasn\u2019t been picked up by Cloud9 yet,\u201d another user joked, earning a like from Sweeneytv himself. This video ended up spawning a series of sequels, where the YouTuber continues his role as a \u201cTwitch mod\u201d and explains other bans and unbans. \u201cWe are committed to ensuring that Twitch is not used for sexual exploitation. We understand that some nudity or sexual content may be intended for educational, scientific, artistic, newsworthy or academic purposes,\u201d he said while reading a fake press release in a follow-up video. \u201cWho are we to deny this type of transformative content? In all honesty, Twitch is now more than just a gaming site, people,\u201d he continued. \u201cIn the case of Amouranth and Indiefoxx, we found that although they\u2019ve had multiple bans, they have reached what we call double jeopardy where they cannot be charged with the same sexual ban again. So, as long as they create a new slightly different meta, they should be fine.\u201d Of course, the real reason for both of the bans and how long they lasted remains unclear. Twitch itself has not commented on the ASMR \u2018meta,\u2019 and does not issue statements on individual bans, to respect the privacy of users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
