Good. If people can't make money straddling an inflatable banana in a hot tub, then maybe actual GAMING STREAMS can get attention again.

OhNo!Anyway.jpg

Twitch has been banning people for saying a single word like "simp". So good riddance.

Now go back to being a game streaming platform instead of a slutty webcam girl "talking" chamber.

 

[eyesabitdull]

Little wins in life.

 

[Sidesalad]

Shouldn't she be on Chaturbate instead?

 

[Mamofish]

She'll be back, twitch needs her. This is the cycle, stir some drama more people are aware, more will tune in next time.

[eastcoastkody]

twitch is so dumb. i hope it dies and something new comes along.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Oh no.

Anyway

 

[reinking]

It's okay. She has diversified her portfolio.

 

[InterMusketeer]

While I think it's good they're putting a stop to these streams, Twitch should have notified/warned them before pulling the plug. They benefit from it too, and suddenly just end monetization when they feel like it. People might actually rely on these streams for their livelihood. It's a bit irresponsible.

First DSP and now this? TWITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ZehDon]

Deer Kin stopping bikini models from monetising their hot tub streams broadcasted on a billion-dollar companies internet-based game streaming platform.

Not quite the future I had in mind when I was a child, not gonna lie.

She has an Onlyfans.

 

[MasterCornholio]

It's hot tub time!!!

 

[eastcoastkody]

Twitch said u can be in a bikini only if ur in a hot tub/pool

so ppl started doing that.

Twitch-- "oh no wait"

they change their rules every day on a whim and ban ppl constantly. Im surprised anyone is left on there.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Advertisers aren't really into that.. so.. makes sense?

 

[InterMusketeer]

She has an Onlyfans.

Fair enough, I don't know her because I don't watch Twitch. I imagine this probably wasn't the first time Twitch halted monetization without prior notice though, nor will it be the last.

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

I don’t watch streamers, but I’m glad to see this trash not rewarded.

It's irresponsible to push the boundaries of a platform that your livelihood is tied to.

She also didn't lose her livelihood.. she lost advertising.. she makes thousands in tips sitting there.

DSP is back though...

 

[bender]

DSP is back though...

De-partnered for hateful speech. He's back on Youtube.

 

[harmny]

Bad move by twitch. They should give her a warning or a reason

 

[Krappadizzle]

[matty3092]

I wonder how the Ultra "woke committee" that consults with twitch took this lmao on topic tho I really don't feel sorry for her at all I'm sure she can wipe her tears with all the donations she gets from other avenues.

 

[G-Bus]

Just go on only fans already...

 

[bender]

He still gets $200+ in tips per stream and streams twice a day most days of the week. His whales will not let the coachroach die.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

I hate this B succubus...

 

[Thabass]

First DSP and now this? TWITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish DSP was gone. I really do.

Good news, no whoring is needed for a gaming.

Did he actually use any hateful speech though?

 

[LOLCats]

seems like an adult only game streaming service could make bank.

 

[Krappadizzle]

There's hours and hours of compilation footage of him using hateful speech across every platform he's ever used. Granted I don't think anyone should be banned for the shit just on the basis of free speech alone, but it is what it is.

 

[bender]

Did he actually use any hateful speech though?

He did nothing wrong. He did everything correct. There was nothing he could do.

 

[Revolutionary]

I guess the hot tub streams pushed it a bit too far, because she's been doing this softcore crap for years now. She is so boring.

seems like an adult only game streaming service could make bank.

Unlikely, considering that most viewers of this softcore crap are under 18. I don't know how these women are okay with the knowledge that they're showing off their bodies to pubescent teens. I'd be extremely uncomfortable with that fact.

Also, a website like that already exists but it isn't very popular. I can't even remember the name of it lol

 

[Unknown?]

When will people learn not to use centralized companies and move on to decentralized platforms?

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Any screen scrapes of the best of? For research of course

 

[Portugeezer]

No one at twitch originally thought "contextual" bikini policy would be abused... so now they resort to this. They should at least inform people ahead of time for them to adapt.

Anyway, she is at this point a cam girl who makes sasha grey streams look like a Catholic school girl. The wizards will have to pay-up on her only fans to get a good look.

[Arsic]

I've said it before but take anything that isn't games and e sports, and put it in a separate website with different rules.

Twitch is big enough that the other site will flourish if removed out of current Twitch.

Then they can double down on dress code rule changes and point the bimbos next door.

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Makes me super happy that Sunny made it into this thread

 

[MasterDerico]

Im sad they banned the sumo channel cose was "too revealing". Im not even joking...

 

[Hatemachine]

The problem isn't the Twitch streamers. It's the people that watch the Twitch streamers. Truly the dregs of society.

 

[haxan7]

I need pics. Stop failing me neogaf

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Did he actually use any hateful speech though?

His logic is that "hateful slur" is only when you talk about gender or race. Reality is different...any swearing is a hateful slur. On a daily basis when he reads chat and disagrees or bans someone he calls them: fucking moron, stupid mother fucking cunt, tells them to fuck off and then goes and calls twitch "a bunch of imbecile moronic losers". He also said once he wanted to punch the 11yr old girl in the chat in the face because she told him off.

This is just daily talk. Oh and he slipped the N word a few days ago.

 

[MayauMiao]

This shouldn't be in gaming section.

 

[MayauMiao]

Twitch? Nowadays its more like T( . )( . )itch.

 

[Tschumi]

For real. It almost seems like a legit life choice these days would be: porn star or gaming steamer. Apparently if genes have given you a specific set of body features either industry becomes equally viable.. and morally comparable...

I dunno, i was the requisite age to get sucked in by this stuff about a decade, 15 years ago, so i haven't really gotten into it.

 

[skit_data]

Googled this Amouranth person.
*looks at pictures*
Yep. Not surprised. At all.
