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.

Non-sexualized animal butt emotes are allowed per our emote guidelines. Closing this submission - thank you.

It's a butt, the vast majority of the human race has a butt. Butts are funny at their base value. As long there's no explicit nudity or sexualization it is well within a PG Rating. Give us Dumpy emotes

It makes no sense to ban Dumpy emotes when they're based off something rated PG by the FCC, meaning it's not nudity, or sexual in any way. They're incredibly popular, bring communities together across Twitch like with other popular emotes that are common across the platform. The Ban on them simply brings animosity directed at Twitch when users percieve that there is "worse" content being allowed by the same TOS.

It feels like the removal of these emotes may be within the word of the community guidelines but it doesn't seem in the spirit of the rules to disallow these emotes given they are not explicit or sexual in nature and target more of a comedic vibe.

100% Agree. There is 0 reason this style emote is not allowed. Where it really gets crazy is some channels seem to be able to have it while others get denied instantly. It seems like even the moderation team is in disagreement. Rather than continuing the cycle of perceived double standards, just let the innocent cartoon meme from a PG animated movie free.

The Dumpy emotes, recognized as PG by the FCC, should be reconsidered by Twitch. It's essential to align with established content ratings and support the community's choice for playful, non-offensive expressions. Why override a widely accepted standard?

This is just a reskin of a children's movie. There is an entire department in the United States government that decided it was child friendly.

The FCC considers this content PG, so why does Twitch believe they are more qualified to assign it a stricter rating and prohibit it?

Allow dumpy emotes, it's fine for children's show and should be fine for Twitch.

We'd love to at least to have a better explanation of why this type of content has been removed than "it violates guidelines" when we do not see any violation in the content.

The use of these emotes are harmless and enjoyable for chatters and streamers. Either please allow these emotes or explain to us why you're claiming it as sexual/in appropriate in any way.

they are cartoons. there are far more egregious sexually explicit streamers, let alone emotes, than the dumpy emotes. either twitch should re-allow these emotes, or, start banning the streamers in health and fitness who are all wearing practically nothing at all and sexualising themselves. Ban the streamers who are streaming on their own butt. Ban the streamers who use their body as a way of getting viewers on stream. The number of violations you are missing makes banning these emotes just stupid.

It' just an emote that is harmless. There are much more egregious things on Twitch that are more sexual in nature. It doesn't make sense to remove something that is already PG for the reason of sexual content.

I mean, if this isn't allowed.. are you also blocking Charmin from advertising? Same thing, just an animated bear showing us how clean their bottom is..

A mutual of mine has had issues with a flubber emote doing this exact thing, no butt, no nudity and yet it also wasn't allowed. Super disappointing as this is such a fun dancing emote.
