Please bring these back!

How is a ferret shaking its tail offensive

Bring them back!

Gasm, Dumpy, Pog, even PEPE (or pepo if your a nutjob) are symbols of our love for the dank. STOP TAKING AWAY WHAT I LOVE!!

Honestly I've always felt like removing the dumpy emotes was a huge over correction. It's fun, it's silly, everyone loves them, and it was never sexual.

well, pretty much everyone has elaborated on how a dumpy-style emote is not only not sexualized, but a fun part of the twitch experience. so i'll comment from a different angle, the very sequence of events of this streamer enabling these emotes at the start of the stream, only to be unpleasantly surprised by the flat-out removal of it during that same stream feels.. well, like you have hunted them. yes, you, twitch, in my eyes, in this instance, feel like an assassin that we must always be on edge about.. why would i want to stream on a platform that does that?

As someone who *does* get really uncomfortable with emotes Twitch inexplicably allows (gasm style emotes) when they’ve been used in my chat, I have NEVER felt uncomfortable with someone dropping a dumpy emote.

The emote is not sexual in nature and I know of no streamer who would consider it sexual.

If you care about sexual innuendos as a problem in emotes: the gasm style emotes are the ones I see creators the most regularly made uncomfortable by, not the dumpy.

The PG film, which the emote is based on, is adorable and humorous. I'm not sure why it is regarded as sexual.

There are more issues that need to be dealt with than a harmless emote like this, this is a emote from a PG movie I watched when I was a child. I thought it was just a bear who was having a sugar rush, and acting goofy. Similar to a kid who eats a bunch of sugar, but it's animals doing it (since this is a children's movie, kids can relate and laugh at the funny animals). Never thought/saw in the way it has been marked to contain "nudity", so why is an emote copying the same movement, being marked?

This included no nudity, and is simply a ferret copying the same movements from the movie, "Open Season". The context of the emote, include nothing inappropriate, and quite cute since Pirate Software runs a rescue of ferrets. So even the context, makes no reference to anything sexual or nudity.

Either way, this emote should be able to be shown. Anyone can tell that the emote in no way includes any nudity, and the context of not only the meme/joke and of the channel, has nothing to do with nudity or being sexually explicit

Nazori had his dumper emote banned a few months ago as well after over a year of it not being an issue, it was a dumpering koala, but is apparently too sexual for twitch. I reached out to partner support just yesterday asking if this emote style was now going to be allowed and was met with nothing but logical fallacies, the agent answered questions that I did not ask and wound up just linking me to twitch guidelines on sexual content and sexual conduct, none of which give any information on emotes, and they are completely irrelevant to a question about a cute dancing cartoon animal. They would rather insult the intelligence of their twitch partners than actually answer a question.

Absolutely nothing sexual about the emote. Please revert. Dumpy is our lord and savior.

there's nothing sexual with those emotes, and it's a funny one, so it would be good to allow them back on the platform

please let us have dumpy, we love dumpy

Emotes like these are innocent enough that I feel comfortable with my 3 year old seeing. Streamer PointCrow also had a similar emote. The reason why I don't have a problem with them is that they are clearly not meant to be sexual.

These styles of emotes should not be banned. I see no issue with them being on the platform. As stated above, dumpy-style emotes are a reference to Open Season (2006), which has a PG rating. The Emote Guidelines seem to be in place to remove vulgar, obscene, hateful, and sexual emotes. Banning dumpy-style seems to fall just outside of the spirit of these Emote Guidelines even if it technically fits one of the criteria (Nudity). If not for the specific exception for gasm-style emotes, those would be banned as well (under the Sexual content clause).

Gasm-style emotes are commonplace in many communities on Twitch. They can be and are used with great rhetorical effect. Also, gasm-style emotes seem to be more closely related to the content discussed in the Emote Guidelines.

Dumpy-style emotes are also commonplace for many communities that have a presence on Twitch. For instance, PirateSoftware's yarrDumpy emote is used on other platforms without any of the issues that the Emote Guidelines would address. Furthermore, dumpy-style emotes are much further from the content of the Emote Guidelines than gasm-style emotes.

For these reasons and more, it appears good and reasonable to create an exception in the Emote Guidelines for dumpy-style emotes.

Definitely agree with this, PirateSoftware has cultivated a very wholesome community and I am confident that he would never advocate for anything that would not reflect his ideals. Most of these emotes are just cute and fun emotes to spread fun and positivity in each of the communities that use them and I see no reason why streamers should be punished for having these emotes.

It's a cool emote. Let us have it.

"Dumpy" style emotes are very clearly intended to be silly and humorous, rather than sexually suggestive, at least in the vast majority of cases. It makes no sense to ban them wholesale.

Emoji and emotes are the the best form of communication for lowering language barriers and enabling communication at the required speed and level to be meaningful, in this case dumpy is a humorous response used in a non sexual context. Under current tos Winnie the pooh could be reported despite being commonly accepted as a child appropriate character regardless of the characters lack of legwear.
It is important to remove the ability for offensive and problematic content to move from spaces it is acceptable in to ones it is not but this should be achievable by assessing the sentiment and intentions behind the emotes use by the viewers.
This case the emote is clearly a humorous depiction without innuendo or malicious intent and so it like other emotes of the same nature should be aloud on the site.

I see no problem with emotes like this, in large part because we used to tease each other in similar ways as kids. It's simply a goofy way of having fun. It's nothing sexual. When that young it never crossed anyone's minds it could be. So the only demographic who would view this as sexual are the adults. And to that end it's hard to not question why this is so strict.

And for a lot of Twitch communities they are inside jokes. Emotes of the nature stated here, and adjacent, are a fun way to engage the community in chatting and participating in the fun. Emotes are a great way for less chatty people to join in as well. So overall it helps the people better express themselves and be part of the shenanigans that take place here.

As a final thought, if games like Wildstar feature arguably more suggestive teasing and have the same age rating/restriction as Twitch, why not allow it here?
