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.

100% agree. There isn't any concerning imagery, it's just meant to be funny. Plain as day.

I think Twitch should keep this emote because technically it does not violate any guideline

Emotes in this style do not fit the TOS rules, in my opinion, especially for animals or animated characters.

Why all people bating with them being topless but not allow an animated PG-13 Butt wiggle.

I understand Twitch is going through some changes in their policies regarding sexual content and their identity as a platform. However, emotes like these are not sexual and show no nudity. They should be allowed because they are fun and entertaining, and not sexual at all.

Agreed. This type of emotes shouldn't break the TOS, they are fun (and funny) harmless emotes. Twitch, please, consider this!!

As long as the emotes remain tasteful - I agree with the above. There is obviously potential for NSFW emotes but that is at the whim of the channel owner and moderation is necessary.

Why do we remove emotes that clearly adhere to rules and regulations?
Enable Dumpy emotes. There's nothing in violation in virtually any channel, and the ones that do can obviously be reported. -
