Unreasonable restrictions on emotes. Twitch actively promotes and profits from explicit materials from viewers through several other means and even categories. Turning Twitch, since it's acquisition by Amazon, into a heavily weighted softcore **** and child gambling platform in comparison to where it should be and was intended to be.

The Terms for emotes alone is worded in such an open ended way to begin with that it is clear you are just keeping the option to ban literally every existing emote as inappropriate.

Amen!

I believe that Dumpy emotes should be monitored closely, though I can imagine that most of them are silly rather than explicit. People seem to be attached to their silly emotes, blanket restricting something that people are attached to generates bitterness. Such bitterness can lead to reactions that bypass meaningful and civil dialogues between developer and community.
Dumpy emotes such as "yarrDumpy" seem to be well intentioned fun for the streamer's community and appear to seek to be PG friendly.

This emote is harmless, any reasonable human can see this. Please allow this.

If there is possibility for creators to apeal bans, there should be a way for creators to defend their usage of PG emotes, which are labeled wrongly I might add as offensive/sexual. The emote in question does not fit into the sexual or offensive category, it is a playfull emote that can be linked to Disneys Open Season movie, and if it is "Disney approved" it should not be limited by twitch.

Please allow emotes such as yarrDumpy from Pirate Software to be used on the platform. It is most definitely PG and doesn't break community guidelines whatsoever, and it allows subscribers and users to happily communicate and share the love, bringing happiness to all the world.

These images, emotes which are not in any way explicit and should be allowed, that said images in this style which are explicit should be dealt with on a case by case basis and not by a blanket ban.

The dumpy emote is a source of entertainment and wholesome.

Any thought toward this emote in any other sense is in the eye of the beholder. Celebrating victory with my favourite communities by shaking my ferret money maker should be allowed as it is not in anyway egregious

This is from a PG movie without any kind of malice. I believe it not violate any guidelines. Please allow it, we have fun with it!

Emotes like these allow us to express excitement, in a way similar to someone dancing, and aren't used in sexually explicit ways.
Banning this emote based on the belief that it is innapropriate, is a statement about twitch's beliefs on how they expect it to be understood and used.
Which, aside of being their own problem, as they are factually wrong in that regard, and is probably not something we, the viewers, should be punished for anyway, says more about twitch than the streamer.

A preemptive thanks, twitch, for giving us 'YarrDumpy' back.

The emote isn't explicit, it doesn't have any indecent details and as stated in the post the emote is from a PG movie, which in of itself should give it the green light to be reinstated.

Hello Twitch Staff,

I've been made aware of the recent changes and subsequent roll back on the Twitch ToS in relation to sexually explicit content. I personally feel that an animated animal character inspired by a children's movie, that contains no anatomical features, should be allowed for use as an emote by a content creator. Other emotes, and content flagged for containing sexually explicit or suggestive themes and or material should be carefully reviewed. I feel this review would help in improving the relationship between Twitch, it's content creators and the communities that support them as there will be less dramatic changes and thus creating a more stable environment.

Respectfully,

If Dumpy emote had a hole or a line on the butt, there may be a case for mild nudity according to the MPA standards.

As this is an expression of happiness and made based off of a PG animated movie aimed at kids, I believe that the emote should be allowed on Twitch.

While I respect that Twitch has power to govern their platform as they please, I have not seen anyone even jokingly refer to Dumpy as a sexual or even mildly sexual emote.

I logged in just to say this emote is amazing. Ferrets are amazing. Thor is amazing. Thor for president. Anyone saying this emote is offensive or sexual is trolling.

I do not see why an animation copping an animation from a PG movie is inherently something to be banned.

Seems like a strench to be including Dumpys as a breach of Terms of service, considering the recent changes to the Terms of service, this is like saying a dancing sausage or hotdog is a breach. come now Twitch!!! please!!

Disney dis this way before for kids

Twitch is a startup 🙄

As I understand it, the purpose of the rule is to avoid content that is sexually explicit in nature, which in itself is fair, but any human observer would clearly see that these emotes do not fall under that category and thus should be allowed. The rule and its enforcement in their current state lack any kind of nuance, clarity, or context - it just auto-culls things without human evaluation or review, even if the offending material has already been cleared in the past. Asking creators to go through this process of appeal again and again wastes their time and money and that of their communities as well. Please amend this to a more "presumption of innocence" whitelist model.

These PG style emotes should not be categized as sexual as there is nothing sexual about them. If they can do it in a PG movie, it should be fine here on twitch. These emotes are light hearted and fun for the communities that had it.

This doesn't seem like a big deal. It's just a cartoon animal and it's gloating not sexual.
