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.

PG emotes should be fine. They are a fun way to be expressive and interact with the chat. There's nothin wrong with this, especially in comparison to the kind of thing twitch enabled for a day before rolling everything back. Small steps are the way forward and this is the smallest of steps.

As a PG-13 partnered Twitch streamer and mom of three, I 1000000% agree!!!

I see no problem with these style of emotes, if PG movies are ok with this stuff then I feel its ok to have here as well.

Twitch <3 emote is more of an up-side-down suggestive butt than jarrDumpy. Seriously, as a father of two I'm perfectly aware of how everything can be misused for malicious purpose. jarrDumpy much less than other things. Rule #34 There is **** of it. No exceptions.

They're just cartoon butts. There's not even a butthole, it's completely PG, it's just a funny/cute lil butt

As long as the emote is PG, it should be allowed. There is no reason to take down emotes that can be used appropriately everywhere on the site.

Its a ferret swinging its tale.... there isn't even an illustration of cheeks and has no sexual context, please give us.

The emote is clearly intended in a comedic context, and is not sexual in its visuals (as in, not including any genitalia). If a twerking ferret is being misinterpreted as 'sexual' and not humorous then there's something wildly worrying about twitch's view of ferrets. It's based on a gag in a PG film- millions of kids have already seen this gag without complaint. This emote should never have been banned in the first place.

Please look at the emote and say to yourself, do I get aroused. If you do then that's a you Problem and you should seek help. Twitch you allow female to be pretty much nude on your site, if we cant have a "Dumpy" we dumpy you.

Zero reason for these to be deemed inappropriate. They are non-offensive, PG, and people complaining seem to be just looking to troll and be faux-offended at any little thing. Immediately banning it with no context is a massive overreaction on Twitch’s part. This on the heels of Twitch publicly flip-flopping on their nudity rules in just a 24-hour period is not a good look for the company, and unbanning these emotes is a good step back towards a positive public perception as the current standard is overkill and makes the platform far less enjoyable to engage with.

There is nothing sexual about funny dancing. There’s no butts or anything like that.

These emotes aren't at all sexual. They are fun and silly and something communities enjoy using to engage. There's nothing sexual going on and everything is PG. I think that this is something fun communities enjoy and that since they cause no harm or break TOS in any way, should be allowed.

I believe if sliding a card between breasts or thighs are allowed as emotes we should allow these types of emotes. It is only fair and this is an animal.

I cannot understand why anyone would take the ferret twerking its butt as anything sexual. says more about the person reporting it than anything to me. as has been stated the concept is derived from a PG movie that would have been PG even in the 90's and probably 80's too if the tech to create this kind of cartoon existed. just let the Dumpy Exist it is hilarious and many many people use it and honestly i could see users leave the platform over you taking it away. I saw 10,000 people panic today when it was removed. honestly that Emote was one of the Contributing factors to me creating my twitch account finally and starting to watch over here vs on Youtube, was sad to immediatly see it go as i figured out my subscription

"WHAT DOES GYATT MEAN?
Gyatt or gyat is a slang term that is used to express strong excitement, surprise, or admiration. Gyatt is most commonly used as an exclamation in reaction to seeing a large butt (that is, the buttocks) and may be used as a noun to mean a large butt.The slang gyatt is an exclamation used to express excitement or shock, especially in reaction to seeing large buttocks or a voluptuous woman. It is often used as a hashtag in videos of curvy women or, much less often, men.
As a noun, gyatt is typically used to mean a large butt."

There is a streamer live at the time of me posting this that is using "gyatt" as the title of their video. If someone can expressively imply something along the lines of "used to express excitement or shock, especially in reaction to seeing large buttocks or a voluptuous woman."
Also people drinking alcohol live onstream doesn't seem suitable for a 13+ platform.
AND WE CANT HAVE A DANCING FERRET... seems legit -.-

With the emote originating from a family comedy film and, with no nudity implied or otherwise, this emote should never have been banned in the first place.
