Popular Twitch streamer Elias “NymN” Mlayeh was left puzzled after his channel’s ‘booba’ emote was removed from the platform for sexual content. 

Twitch emotes are an extremely popular way for viewers to communicate with each other and with streamers across the platform. In fact, some Twitch channels are also often seen enabling ’emote-only mode’ where viewers in the chat can communicate exclusively with emotes.

The popularity of emotes goes on to prove why the sudden removal of NymN’s ‘booba’ emote from Twitch has left fans dumbfounded. 

While NymN and his community are confused about the reason behind the removal of the ‘booba’ emote, Twitch has stated in a statement that the emote has been removed for “sexual content”

According to the streaming platform, it contained “imagery of sexual content or nudity, i.e ‘Gasm’-style emotes which contain sexualized torsos or bodily fluids.”

The Twitch star shared the email sent by the platform in a recent Tweet. 

The reasoning given by Twitch has caused visible confusion in the community since the emote doesn’t seem to contain any kind of apparent “sexual content”. Some have also questioned the platform for removing the ‘booba’ emote while the ‘kreygasm’ emote remains untouched.

It’s still unclear if NymN is gonna appeal to Twitch against the removal of the ‘booba’ emote or carry on without it.
