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.

These style of emotes are beloved across multiple twitch communities and do not show any explicit imagery or brand unfriendly material. So long as the emotes fall within a well defined set of rules or standards they can do no harm, especially considering the original inspiration was a PG rated kids movie. Nothing is explicitly shown in these emotes outside of the "cartoonish" anatomyless design which does not harm and falls well within the limits or what is allowed to be showed in PG rated media.

Classic prudish over reaction.

I agree. There's nothing obscene or suggestive about this kind of animation. It can be seen as celebratory or taunting in a friendly manner. It's not malicious, violent, or sexually suggestive in any way.

I don't see a problem with these style of emotes as long as they remain PG. A lot of the banned emotes never showed anything explicit and are much loved by many different communities. However there are always the ones that should be banned for being overtly explicit and I believe that those should be dealt with on a case by case basis.

PG emotes should be fine. They are a fun way to be expressive and interact with the chat. There's nothin wrong with this, especially in comparison to the kind of thing twitch enabled for a day before rolling everything back. Small steps are the way forward and this is the smallest of steps.

I see no problem with these style of emotes, if PG movies are ok with this stuff then I feel its ok to have here as well.

Twitch <3 emote is more of an up-side-down suggestive butt than jarrDumpy. Seriously, as a father of two I'm perfectly aware of how everything can be misused for malicious purpose. jarrDumpy much less than other things. Rule #34 There is **** of it. No exceptions.

They're just cartoon butts. There's not even a butthole, it's completely PG, it's just a funny/cute lil butt

As long as the emote is PG, it should be allowed. There is no reason to take down emotes that can be used appropriately everywhere on the site.

The emote is clearly intended in a comedic context, and is not sexual in its visuals (as in, not including any genitalia). If a twerking ferret is being misinterpreted as 'sexual' and not humorous then there's something wildly worrying about twitch's view of ferrets. It's based on a gag in a PG film- millions of kids have already seen this gag without complaint. This emote should never have been banned in the first place.

Please look at the emote and say to yourself, do I get aroused. If you do then that's a you Problem and you should seek help. Twitch you allow female to be pretty much nude on your site, if we cant have a "Dumpy" we dumpy you.

Zero reason for these to be deemed inappropriate. They are non-offensive, PG, and people complaining seem to be just looking to troll and be faux-offended at any little thing. Immediately banning it with no context is a massive overreaction on Twitch’s part. This on the heels of Twitch publicly flip-flopping on their nudity rules in just a 24-hour period is not a good look for the company, and unbanning these emotes is a good step back towards a positive public perception as the current standard is overkill and makes the platform far less enjoyable to engage with.

There is nothing sexual about funny dancing. There’s no butts or anything like that.

These emotes aren't at all sexual. They are fun and silly and something communities enjoy using to engage. There's nothing sexual going on and everything is PG. I think that this is something fun communities enjoy and that since they cause no harm or break TOS in any way, should be allowed.

I believe if sliding a card between breasts or thighs are allowed as emotes we should allow these types of emotes. It is only fair and this is an animal.
