Twitch Unbans Controversial Streamers in Amouranth and Indiefoxx Following Their Massive ASMR Fiasco
It looks like Twitch can’t seem to move controversy away from their popular streaming platform. For the past few months, the platform gained a lot of notoriety for the hot-tub streaming meta. A lot of celebrated streamers berated the developers at Twitch for allowing the trend to become famous. Soon after, the company then moved these streams to the ASMR category, and many felt that the situation got much better.
But it didn’t take long for Twitch to fall into trouble, and again the issue included some of the hot-tub streamers. Many of them received bans for sexually suggestive streams including famous content-creators Amouranth and Indiefoxx. But it didn’t take long for the platform to reverse their decision on these bans.

Twitch bans Amouranth and Indiefoxx for sexually suggestive streams
Few days ago, following their move to the ASMR categories, Amouranth and Indiefoxx streamed ASMR content on their channels. Many creators like Summit1G believed that the platform was bound to find itself in controversy even after moving the hot-tub streamers to the ASMR category.
It didn’t take long for Summit1G’s words to come true as Indiefoxx and Amouranth’s content rubbed Twitch off the wrong way, and both creators received bans for it. The platform never explained their decision to ban them. But many creators and fans believe that the developers might have deemed the content to be too sexual.
The ban put the spotlight on Twitch’s horrendous guidelines regarding sexual content. Along with that, Pokimane also mentioned that these bans were detrimental for legit ASMR streamers.

Amouranth and Indiefoxx unbanned after three days
Following their bans, both creators mocked Twitch for ‘giving them a free weekend’. But it seems like their holiday won’t last that long as the platform unbanned them after three long days. The developers have revealed no information about it with Amouranth and Indiefoxx continuing their streams as if nothing major happened.
It remains to be seen how Twitch will handle another wave of controversy caused by them. Fans and creators want more clarity with the company guidelines and it seems like the platform won’t stop receiving any bad press about it until they seriously take any decision about it.
