Twitch Streamer Pokimane Receives Warning Email for Accidentally Streaming Explicit Material
Popular Twitch streamer Pokimane recently shared a warning email she received from Twitch regarding a broadcast where she accidentally streamed explicit material. The email specifically mentioned “accidental and/or brief nudity or sexual content” as the reason for the warning, along with the location of the violation. It also stated that a Community Guidelines warning was issued to Pokimane’s account and that a suspension may occur if a similar offense happens again.
Pokimane’s Response and Apology
Responding to the incident, Pokimane tweeted an apology, stating that the warning was deserved and apologizing to anyone who did not want to see that content on the stream. She ensured that she would be more careful in the future and sarcastically mentioned that she was glad it became a popular meme.
Incident Details and Community Response
The email Pokimane received is dated May 19, which is the same day as the broadcast where she accidentally opened a link to pornographic content and shared it on stream. Although she quickly removed the browser from the screen, viewers were able to see the material before it was taken down.
Many members of the Twitch community have expressed their dissatisfaction with the platform’s inconsistency in enforcing bans. While popular streamers like Alinity and xQc have received bans for similar incidents of accidental nudity or sharing explicit content, others like Pokimane have only received warnings.
