How can we improve emotes on Twitch?

Allow PG "Dumpy" style emotes on Twitch.

A Dumpy emote is an emote with a shaking butt in a circle and does not contain nudity or sexually explicit content of any kind. There are over 900 of them on Twitch as of this writing.

Dumpy emotes are incredibly popular among a wide number of communities on Twitch. However, they have been removed by Twitch Moderation at seemingly random for violating the community guidelines.

As these emotes are based on a draw-over of the PG movie Open Season from 2006 it seems absurd to ban them from the platform.

    I've seen multiple friends get shadow banned from uploading emotes and other severely negative effects from uploading these. Automation of moderation is all well and good, but you run into problems like this and it severely impacts content creators' trust in the platform they're trying to use.

    Bring back the dumpy emotes. If we're going after things that MIGHT be sexually suggestive, Twitch have A LOT of other things to go after. Talking about the streamers dancing on the line of softcore **** for starters.

    Also, the dumpy emote is just fun, and does not show anything explicit or sexual. Kinda makes me ponder if the person(s) deciding on the dumpy emote being sexual are the only one find them so, and in that case; ew.
    So bring the beloved emote back and start working on things that matter.

    I've never personally used the dumpy emote before, but reading through this and the reason for removal, I'm just left scratching my head. This is a case of over-moderation, and over-step of regulation application. There's no way this emote meets the criteria of community guideline violation.

    Hi I'm new to the PirateSoftware community.

    I came around because it's a wholesome and friendly place. The cute emote is part of the atmosphere that Thor has built. Removing such innocuous emote kills part of the soul of this streamers identity.

    Please reconsider.

    That emote is super cute and funny, it deserves to stay usable on streams! Please use actual person to check on it instead of an automation.

    I think this emote is very cute and has nothing to do with anything sexual. There are far worse things on Twitch , and this man is bringing lots of people to the platform that otherwise would not come here.

    It is just a Ferret Butt, these emotes don't do anything bad, they only are to show you re having fun, there are not used to make fun of someone or... idk man arouse someone?? Come on it s a Ferret Butt and even if its not just a Ferret its just for fun and love

    These are part of the online culture we love. It's a big shame that these are removed
  • invi187 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed, there is nothing wrong with this style emote
  • Azl0257 commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with the sentiment and just don't see how this is anything other than a joke emote.
  • MoriaDwarf commented  ·   ·  Report

    These types of emotes are not the problem in my opinion. It is based upon a PG movie, if it makes it in that I do not believe it is wrong for it to be on Twitch.
  • the_lost_one893 commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want that emote back cause it is a funny emote and it makes everyone laugh. I don't see a good reason why it should not be returned. It is a funny and enjoyable emote and we all love it. Please return it.

    I do not agree with the "dumpy" being labeled as sexual, as it is not sexual.

  • EdgeDragon commented  ·   ·  Report

    There are many similar Emotes out there , its a way for us to Say we Dance / or Cheer or Party with our Streamer.
  • drinpixeled commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've never seen the Dumpy emotes as sexual in any way, they're just a funny little guy doing a funny little action
  • Arilozen commented  ·   ·  Report

    As long as they aren't overly detailed I think they're 100% fine.
