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.

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.

To elaborate, open season is literally a kids movie.

The Dumpy Emotes are some of the cutest emotes that the platform has. My kids think they are cute and love seeing them and taking them down is very sad and I would like to see it allowed.

100% agree. There isn't any concerning imagery, it's just meant to be funny. Plain as day.

I think Twitch should keep this emote because technically it does not violate any guideline

Emotes in this style do not fit the TOS rules, in my opinion, especially for animals or animated characters.

Why all people bating with them being topless but not allow an animated PG-13 Butt wiggle.

I understand Twitch is going through some changes in their policies regarding sexual content and their identity as a platform. However, emotes like these are not sexual and show no nudity. They should be allowed because they are fun and entertaining, and not sexual at all.

Agreed. This type of emotes shouldn't break the TOS, they are fun (and funny) harmless emotes. Twitch, please, consider this!!

As long as the emotes remain tasteful - I agree with the above. There is obviously potential for NSFW emotes but that is at the whim of the channel owner and moderation is necessary.

Why do we remove emotes that clearly adhere to rules and regulations?
Enable Dumpy emotes. There's nothing in violation in virtually any channel, and the ones that do can obviously be reported. -
