Twitch streamer banned for sexually suggestive parody of Amouranth
Twitch has banned PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds streamer Grizz for his parody of fellow streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa. In the parody, Grizz pretended to accidentally show nudity using a fake pair of testicles.
During the stream, Grizz positioned his webcam towards the floor to show viewers his dog. When he turned around, it appeared as though he had revealed too much of himself.
“Oh, shit,” Grizz exclaimed, acting surprised as he covered up his artificial scrotum.
This scripted scene was a reference to Amouranth, who was previously banned by Twitch for unintentionally flashing viewers while playing with her dog.
Twitch’s Community Guidelines prohibit creators from broadcasting sexually suggestive content. When reviewing such content, Twitch takes into account factors like attire, environment, and props to determine intent and context.
Although Grizz did not actually show nudity, he was likely banned for his use of “props” with the intent of displaying sexually suggestive content.
Grizz’s Twitch channel is currently unavailable and he has not addressed the ban on Twitter. The duration of his suspension is unknown.
