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.

Only non-PG makes sense to not allow. If it's PG of course it should be allowed, it's just a silly thing, nothing remotely sexual about it.

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?

You guys want to ban these harmless emotes, but then sit back and raise sub prices? And you don't realize how backwards that is?

It is a shame that I can't have a twerking character emote but actual people twerking is now okay on this app. I honestly don't care about people twerking on twitch but to allow that but not allow twerking emotes makes no sense whatsoever.

Twitch you need to put on your big boy pants and learn to accept these things.

If ESRB deems it PG... why the **** does twitch.tv think it is PG 13 or "worse"

Now Twitch is banning the cute "partytime" emotes, that are even more PG than Dumper emotes

The CMO was live on the Twitch official channel's stream with a dumpy style emote behind his head:

I have seen far worse emotes, and yet I can’t get something like this approved? The double standard is gross.

I see worse emotes on a daily basis, from anime-gasm faces, to breasts and butts, and I see plenty of streamers who have twerk emotes. (Not to mention a lot of vtubers have…. questionable graphics.) I’ll never understand why those things can get by TOS but my little dumpy frog (WITH NO CHEEKS) has been denied twice

it’s a CAT! -

I strongly support the reintroduction of PG 'Dumpy' style emotes on Twitch. These emotes, characterized by their playful depiction of a shaking butt within a circle, are a staple of Twitch culture, resonating with a diverse audience across numerous communities. It's crucial to recognize that these emotes, with over 900 variations available, do not contain nudity or sexually explicit content, aligning perfectly with Twitch's community standards.
Moreover, the Dumpy emotes are inspired by the family-friendly movie 'Open Season,' a PG-rated film from 2006. This origin underscores the emotes' suitability for a general audience. The arbitrary removal of these emotes by Twitch Moderation, despite their compliance with the platform's guidelines, seems not only inconsistent but also detrimental to the vibrant community spirit these emotes foster.
In a digital space where creativity and expression are paramount, it's vital that Twitch acknowledges the benign and entertaining nature of Dumpy emotes. Their presence on the platform adds value and joy to the user experience, without crossing the boundaries of Twitch's content policies. Therefore, I urge Twitch to reconsider their stance and allow these beloved emotes to continue being a part of our shared digital expression on the platform.

Justice for Dumpy

The emote is just a funny animation, not an anotamically correct one either as there is no defined "Buttocks" The only way you know its from the rear end of the animal is because of the tail. If this was allowed in a 3D animated film for children, then surely the draw over will be fine for the platform. Its legitimately harmless fun to depict a non-sensical situation in a humourous way.
