ASMR Category Trouble
Surely you guys have seen what has recently happened with the "ASMR Category" with two big streamers. Now I will say good job on banning them. But I think those bans should uphold and remain permanent to further back up the message that states. "That type of content is not allowed on twitch"
It's too suggestive the line was pushed too far.
Unless you guys want to make an 18+ category or a whole new site altogether adhering to that. Either way some sort of enforcement needs to be put into place. With a CLEAR understanding of what is / isn't allowed

As a person with Insomnia, I use ASMR to help me sleep and relax. "ear licking" has the opposite effect on the human brain... It only makes the brain exited since it's reminding us of the real act, which itself is very sexual. And that then makes us more alert... Why don't you try do fall asleep while someone licks your ears and moans... It's ridiculous! Ear licking is 100% sexual and does not belong on this site, at all!

So, im gonna be honest, i feel like recently the ASMR section as become more of a pornsim section, im misophone, which means im grossed out by mouth noise, and i can appreciate a **** woman, but id like to be honest with you : both combine is a no.
We ALL know that woman are doing "ear lick" ASMR shows in **** attire just for views and money, when most of the time is ***** almost out with just a little panty and garter belt for some, is not acceptable, some are litterally doing ******** to their microphone, with eye movement and noise, the same used in ****.
Im sorry but it has to stop.Im not an incel or angry about woman or anything people like to call me when i express that point of view.
I can accept ear lick as an "form" of ASMR (even tho i found the noise gross), and that some woman are not using **** attire just to get view, but im sorry, "ear lick" + **** attire + noise + eye movements, that should not be tolerated.
And im not talking also about those who were bann for being too **** and created a new account doing the exact same....Twitch is not a **** platform, if you want it to become one, please let us know, cause there's a lot of kids out there that watch streams here and should not for a million reasons, be put at the contact of those "asmr ear lick" girls. (you can notice that only woman are doing that, so that's another argument, guys would not do that kind of "**** ****" stuff to get view here)

Just my 2 cents as to the adult category idea: This is already IN twitch.tv
Everyone can set their channel to adult content, not fit for young viewers.
This can be done like so (on a pc) https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/YourChannelNameHere/settings/stream and there third from top
And yes it is also stated there: no sexual behavior, or suggestive towards it. Also no nudity, violence.
Furthermore, a complaint was send, with exact the link and time to and in the clip on a channel, where a team member was well to bad for words.
We never got any feedback, and user is still there... was never on suspension! He had the proof still on his channel, publicly.
That should be a priority to i.m.o. -

Yes, that’s fair. I was looking to get Twitch’s attention. I don’t believe it will be banned.

whoa lets not ban so quick... Im fine with a separate category. "Mature ASMR" sounds good.

The ASMR category is currently saturated with ear-licking ASMR. These streams are very suggestive, explicit, and sexual in natural as ear-licking, in and of itself, is a sexual act.
ASMR is meant to be therapeutic and for some, is viewed as an art form. It is meant to be relaxing, creative, and non-sexual. It is quite clear that more and more streamers are popping up in the ASMR category wearing very revealing clothes and licking the 3dio ears in a very suggestive and sexually explicit manner.
I am requesting that Twitch create a separate category for "Mature ASMR" or "Ear-Licking ASMR" to allow non-ear-licking ASMR artists to produce their content without being disparaged or lost in a sea of ear-licking ASMR.

Agreed.. and its gotten worse since the posting of this comment. Yesterday was one of the big streamers doing nothing but focusing the camera on her licking 2 microphones with ASMR sound levels.

They left a few streamers out of the "ban". It is evident that "those" streamers bring in BIG CASH to twitch which makes it very APPARENT that if you bring the money in then you can get away with anything. So out go the little streamers for the Adult content! So when will twitch be changing their name to OF?

I agree with this. Twitch needs to put more enforcement efforts into cleaning up this category. There are some girls who have gotten email warnings saying the can't use or show tongues in the past. Some of the newer girls popping up in this category have lately been using tongues (licking and sucking) apparently hasn't gotten the memo yet about being too suggestive. Just because they see somebody else doing it and hasn't gotten banned yet does not mean it is not against TOS.
Twitch needs to clarify on their ASMR category.
It should be obvious to anybody that licking and sucking a microphone is extremely ******.
I recommend having a twitch staff just spot check this category and they'll immediately find violations left and right. Please clean up this category.
