TALKESPORT

It can be easily said that Twitch is an extremely versatile streaming platform. From talk shows and podcasts to video game streaming, Twitch is home to all sorts of live streams from a plethora of content creators.

However, some of these categories on the platform are common to cause controversies.

‘Body Painting’ is one such category where many streamers have previously reported being banned for unclear reasons.

It is also often claimed that the rules of the body painting section are vague, and this has resulted in some heated situations involving banned streamers who claim to have not violated the ToS.

Streamer ‘DelightDaniTV’ has resorted to Twitter to lash out at Twitch following her indefinite ban from the platform for ‘Inappropriate body-art.’

Through a series of Tweets, she explained how her body-art didn’t breach the body painting rules of the streaming platform while expressing her discontent at the platform for handing her an indefinite ban.

“TWITCH JUST PERMANENTLY BANNED ME FOR DOING BODY ART,” she said, attaching a screenshot from her stream and the notice sent by Twitch. “I HAD MY PASTIES COVERED, OPAQUE PAINT, AND WAS FOLLOWING ALL TOS. THIS IS KINDA BULLS**T GUYS.”

She claimed that her body paint was opaque, which is contrary to the reason Twitch had listed as the reason behind her ban.

Twitch is yet to comment on Dani’s ban.

Popular streaming platform Twitch issued a statement on Twitter on January 6, 2021, stating the unequivocal removal of the ‘PogChamp’ emote in the aftermath of comments made on the same social media platform by Ryan ‘Gootecks’ Gutierrez that seemed to propagate or instigate violence.

United States of America descended into chaos on January 6, 2021, as a large mob marched inside the Capitol building in Washington, DC in a saddening yet historic moment.

Why was Pogchamp removed?

Gootecks highlighted gun wounds and injury sustained by a woman during the protest and seemed to ask for justice by hinting at retaliation of some sorts for the woman.

Twitch took a prompt decision to remove the emote and have since been barraged by requests to replace the face of the PogChamps emote with someone else’s, with suggestions pouring in by the minute.

Twitch has come under fire recently by banning words like incel and simp in chat. However, the decision to remove the PogChamps emote, for now, is backed by a solid argument and it will be interesting to see if they do take the up widely agreed public suggestion to replace Gootecks’ face with someone else’s.

David Dobrick moved to Twitch to attract a new set of audiences and given his fame on YouTube, he almost hit the ground running on Twitch. Upon shifting, he’s been religiously streaming on the platform, mostly Warzone.

During a game of Warzone, Dobrick managed to win a bet against his friend, who now must come to Los Angeles and work at his restaurant.

During a live stream with his friend John, Dobrick was undergoing a series of losses that pushed an agreement out of John. Dobrick placed a bet, asking John to move to LA if they manage to win the next game, and if anyone knows Dobrick they wouldn’t dare to rule out his chances.

Given the losing streak, John agreed and now he repents. David managed to clutch the game and now John is obliged to work in his pizza join in LA.

From John’s reaction, it is clear that it was the last thing wanted although many wouldn’t skip on the chance to spend time with David Dobrick. John is reluctant to get a demotion in his career much less work at a Pizza joint. Working with Dobrick means a lot of cash flowing into his pocket, but so far we are unsure if John will join him leaving the Chemical lab he works for as of late.

Now that a bet has been placed, John might go against his wishes as David Dobrick will pay his friend handsomely to work for him. Staying with the latter will expose John to a huge number of audiences which if he chooses to might use them to make his own channel.
