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 have seen far worse emotes, and yet I can’t get something like this approved? The double standard is gross.

I see worse emotes on a daily basis, from anime-gasm faces, to breasts and butts, and I see plenty of streamers who have twerk emotes. (Not to mention a lot of vtubers have…. questionable graphics.) I’ll never understand why those things can get by TOS but my little dumpy frog (WITH NO CHEEKS) has been denied twice

i did not spend 3 hours animating frame by frame after the wonderful news of us receiving more emote slots to have my silly cartoon cat removed for having ‘animated buttocks’
it’s a CAT! -

I strongly support the reintroduction of PG 'Dumpy' style emotes on Twitch. These emotes, characterized by their playful depiction of a shaking butt within a circle, are a staple of Twitch culture, resonating with a diverse audience across numerous communities. It's crucial to recognize that these emotes, with over 900 variations available, do not contain nudity or sexually explicit content, aligning perfectly with Twitch's community standards.
Moreover, the Dumpy emotes are inspired by the family-friendly movie 'Open Season,' a PG-rated film from 2006. This origin underscores the emotes' suitability for a general audience. The arbitrary removal of these emotes by Twitch Moderation, despite their compliance with the platform's guidelines, seems not only inconsistent but also detrimental to the vibrant community spirit these emotes foster.
In a digital space where creativity and expression are paramount, it's vital that Twitch acknowledges the benign and entertaining nature of Dumpy emotes. Their presence on the platform adds value and joy to the user experience, without crossing the boundaries of Twitch's content policies. Therefore, I urge Twitch to reconsider their stance and allow these beloved emotes to continue being a part of our shared digital expression on the platform.

Justice for Dumpy

The emote is just a funny animation, not an anotamically correct one either as there is no defined "Buttocks" The only way you know its from the rear end of the animal is because of the tail. If this was allowed in a 3D animated film for children, then surely the draw over will be fine for the platform. Its legitimately harmless fun to depict a non-sensical situation in a humourous way.

Twitch I want you to explain to me in full detail as to why a TV-Y7 cartoon animation is more harmful to a community of FULLY ARTISTIC PROFESSIONALS than the many provocative things you allow on your platform...cuz you won't. The thing that makes me laugh more is you're so inconsistent about your own insecurities that you had to go and change the tos several times in 1 month due to your misinformation. Hey Twitch...am I allowed to draw a finger, or are you gonna have a hissy fit? -_-

So...these emotes are not allowed, but pools/hottubs/beaches exist 0.0
At least be consistent...we know there's a lot more explicit stuff than cartoon butts.

imagine being the site that spawned booba.tv meta and banning redraw of a pg movie as sexual content. cia wouldnt waterboard out of me admission that an animated ferret behind is sexual content, but i guess too controversial for twitch. back to watching women in bikini doing absolutely asexual squats covered in oil.

I get you guys probably use a lot of automated tools to sift through emotes that violate community guidelines, but this is egregious. PG emotes are, by definition, not explicit, and should be allowed, even if it requires reworking your tools or even having a human element to act as final arbitration.

Yet another example of twitch’s inconsistent mod team, there needs to be a stricter guideline for them.

The fact that these emotes are kept or banned at seemingly random indicates there are no consistent internal guidelines regarding these emotes. Either ban them all or allow all to stay, having an inconsistent standard allows for moderation abuse and needs to be addressed.

Its just a fun dancing ferret, It is funny and makes people happy. I know yall are trying to find a middle ground and people are exploiting it. All im asking is take a look at this emote and if its ok maybe change a line in the tos or just reach out to Pirate Software and tell him its ok.

at least have a human look at this (not automation) and make a ruling on not just this emote but all or any emote that is brought into question and in that ruling state why or why not it is or within the TOS of Twitch.
