The fact that twitch allows for people to physically twerk now should mean that the dumpy style emotes are 100% allowed. These emotes have NOTHING to do with sexuality and are there for fun. Definitely shouldn't be against TOS

Agreed, there is no reason to remove dumpy emotes. I want mine back!

Agreed! I had an emote in this style and it was the most popular one on my channel until it was removed for being "sexual in nature." There's nothing sexual about a cartoon animal with no buttocks or genitalia spinning its tail. It's not nudity, it's not sexual.

Dumpy shouldn't be ToS NODDERS

Cmon twitch! This is not nudity nor sexual content! This is just a cartoonish ferret dancing with butt covered in fur!

It is a dancing ferret, there isn't anything sexual about it. If there is, then Open Season, should not have been rated PG.

Free the Dumpy!!! Allow these emotes for everyone

A cartoon animal shaking its butt in a circle does not contain anything sexually explicit or even suggestive. It doesn't sexualize an animal, it doesn't sexualize anything at all. Communities heavily enjoy these emotes, as they embody those communities' love of fun. By removing these emotes for violating the sexual content policy, Twitch is not only looking down on its community and creators by assuming that they are sexualizing animals, but also itself sexualizing those animals by proclaiming they are violating sexual content policy.

Dumpy's are animated drawings of cartoon animals. They do not display or convey or allude to real, human buttocks. They're animals, they aren't sexual.

I had my dumper emotes removed of my little purple imp character removed. I ALSO had an emote of my corgi shaking tail removed. Both of them were harmless and I hope to see some sort of change to allow them back on the platform.

These emotes are harmless fun and very much referenced in even children’s cartoons and movies. Please allow communities to have them once more.

just wholesome memes

It's something cute to put in the chat.

It's just an emote, it's for comedic purposes, this is something the Twitch communities universally want and are upset that we can't have because it's harmless. Surely if you are allowing real-life people to twerk now on your website, you'll allow a fingernail-sized emote that all Twitch users enjoy harmless across your platform.

These emotes are a very important part of internet culture. They are a silly little motion that is used to express ones self. Much in the same way dance, drawing, writing, paint, music, is used to express ones self. It is a simple motion that does not hurt anyone on it's own. It does not automatically insinuate anything sexual unless you are looking for something sexual. Even the original source, as provided by this post, was a PG movie, something that by the rules is not allowed to have sexual elements.

Free the dumpy

It just a cartoon swinging tail.

Free the Dumpy

The majority of "dumpy" emotes I've seen on the platform were cute cartoon animals shaking their non-detailed butts, not sexualized depictions of the rear (not to say those don't exist, rather that they're a minority). They are an alternative to dancing or bongo emotes, and are generally used as such. I don't see why cute animals dancing should be prohibited.

UGC (User generated content) is a vital part of a thriving, healthy online community. Things become memes, inside jokes, a way of increasing inclusion when a person is 'in on' the thing. Dumpy is used by nearly every streamer I watch, not as something ****, but as something silly and playful and innocent. It should 100% remain.

J'adore ce stream!
