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.

We don't condemn bears for being naked. We don't do the same for birds. The emote style represents what we find in nature, with a playful twist. Viewers of all ages can appreciate natural phenomena, so why not make it fun? Please consider allowing the emote style.

I agree too, better to remove the nude streamers from this site, not to put a special category for them as a ART...

This is a reference to the PG movie Open Season. There is nothing sexual, just a funny reference for an older audience

There is nobody using a reasonable amount of logic who would consider these types of emotes to be "sexual" in any way. They need to carve out an exception for cartoon animation that is not at all intended to be considered or used sexually.

Not only that, but it is also just moving it's tail like that as a dance. No reason to ban this bit of fun.

This is unjust and quite frankly uncalled for, it is a fun little emote and it has nothing to do with sexual stuff or nudity. this is in a child's movie so this is one of the safest things to be on Twitch.

The "Dumpy" emote has become a cherished symbol of the twitch community. Over 900 variations of the emote have been created by twitch users, demonstrating its popularity and positive reception. It is often used to express excitement, amusement, or simply to add a touch of silliness to the chat.
The emote fosters a sense of connection and shared humor within the community. Viewers enjoy creating and using new variations, and the emote serves as a fun and engaging way to interact with each other.
I believe that the "Dumpy" emote is a harmless and positive addition to the Twitch ecosystem. It fosters community engagement, provides a form of artistic expression, and adds a touch of humor to all streams.

There's so many people that still have these, and in all honesty - it's all in good fun. There's nothing sexual about them and I have yet to see a sexual depiction of them yet. Agree this should be allowed =)

It's not sexual its just a dance that's cheeky

I understand that the TOS has specific rules but this is a bit too much of a broad brush that do collateral damage to some very much loved emote.
The movie it was based from was already vetted almost 2 decades ago and it was designed for PG, not even PG-13. PG.
Can it please be considered to be allowed based on the valid comments made ? -

They're fun and ultimately harmless, getting caught in the crossfire. I'd like to see these type of emotes return!

PG style Dumpy emotes should be allowed seeing as they are fun, nonharmful and the community loves them.

I agree, there is nothing sexual about these emotes, it is more of a dance than anything.
There is no drawn buttholes or buttocks, it's flat with a tail, there is nothing to suggest this is sexual.
If this is acceptable for Dreamworks/Disney to put in to family friendly movies, I see no reason why this shouldn't be allowed on twitch.

Agreed. If you think they are sexually explicit, especially in PirateSoftware's case, considering it's a ferret, there is something wrong with you.

I can agree with this especially if there animal emotes or dumpy. I would totally understand if it was a real human showing off things that is nudity or can be sexual, however alot of these are meant innocently, pg, and meant for fun. not everything is sexual and i hope this can be over looked. greatly appreciate it and again thanks.

I would like to see dumpy style emotes to return because they're funny and harmless. Open Season was and still is a funny and wholesome movie.

I agree, there's no detail on the back of the ferret and quite a large number of Dumpy-style emotes are still up. The removal of this seems as though randomly chosen.

I agree,
As both a Streamer and Viewer ive come across this, theres not sexual or explicit nature behind this, its is a MEME that is drawn from child friendly content.
