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.

We'd love to at least to have a better explanation of why this type of content has been removed than "it violates guidelines" when we do not see any violation in the content.

The use of these emotes are harmless and enjoyable for chatters and streamers. Either please allow these emotes or explain to us why you're claiming it as sexual/in appropriate in any way.

It' just an emote that is harmless. There are much more egregious things on Twitch that are more sexual in nature. It doesn't make sense to remove something that is already PG for the reason of sexual content.

they are cartoons. there are far more egregious sexually explicit streamers, let alone emotes, than the dumpy emotes. either twitch should re-allow these emotes, or, start banning the streamers in health and fitness who are all wearing practically nothing at all and sexualising themselves. Ban the streamers who are streaming on their own butt. Ban the streamers who use their body as a way of getting viewers on stream. The number of violations you are missing makes banning these emotes just stupid.

I mean, if this isn't allowed.. are you also blocking Charmin from advertising? Same thing, just an animated bear showing us how clean their bottom is..

A mutual of mine has had issues with a flubber emote doing this exact thing, no butt, no nudity and yet it also wasn't allowed. Super disappointing as this is such a fun dancing emote.

Why would you ban a PG rated emote ?
-
KesarChan commented
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?

The fact there are... some "channels" out there with butts wiggling around, why cant people have PG dumpy emotes? doesn't make any sense.

Removing dumpy emotes but allowing hot tub streams? Seriously twitch?

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.
