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.

Why would you ban a PG rated emote ?

The FCC has deemed this type of thing PG, so what makes anyone at Twitch better at determining that it should be a higher rating and ban it?

Being overly puritanical does not protect users or the brand. This kind of thing is absolutely kosher in media, and "haha funny butt" is literally a children's joke in cartoons all over the place.

Only non-PG makes sense to not allow. If it's PG of course it should be allowed, it's just a silly thing, nothing remotely sexual about it.

You guys want to ban these harmless emotes, but then sit back and raise sub prices? And you don't realize how backwards that is?

It is a shame that I can't have a twerking character emote but actual people twerking is now okay on this app. I honestly don't care about people twerking on twitch but to allow that but not allow twerking emotes makes no sense whatsoever.

If ESRB deems it PG... why the **** does twitch.tv think it is PG 13 or "worse"

The CMO was live on the Twitch official channel's stream with a dumpy style emote behind his head:
