Summary
Twitchhas recently banned the streamer Morgpie due to unconfirmed reasons, and it’s the second time this has happened in a single month. Morgpie is the latest of manyfemale streamers banned on Twitch, a trend that has been very prevalent since the release of the platform and is often related to Twitch’s rules regarding nudity and sexually suggestive content.
Morgpie is a 22-year-old streamer who started her career in the adult entertainment industry and became a Twitch streamer more recently. She became more well-known after starring in a controversial viral clip in which she appears topless while streaming on Twitch. This started ahuge controversy about nudity on Twitchand she was banned for three days afterward due to “sexually suggestive conduct.” While Morgpie argued that she was not breaking the rules, as she claimed to be “fully clothed” outside the camera, she was nevertheless punished for the viral streams.
Now, Morgpie has been banned fromTwitchonce more. The punishment happened on December 20, and it’s still unknown what the reasons for it are or how much time the streamer will be prevented from streaming on the platform. Considering her previous bans, though, it likely has to do with nudity or sexual insinuations. At the moment, it’s impossible to know whether Morgpie’s ban will last or not, but it probably won’t. Morgpie was banned from Twitch five times before now, and on all of these occasions, she was able to return within one day, except for the last one, which took three days.
When Was Morgpie Banned?
Female streamers often receive bans from Twitch, which sparks a lot of controversy. A few months ago,Amouranth was banned from Twitch for a seventh time, for example. The popular streamer was punished after she started “twerking” during one of her streams. It did not last long, though, as she was cleared one day after that.
While it’s still unknown whether Morgpie will return to stream on Twitch soon, it’s pretty likely that the controversies regarding nudity and sexual innuendos on the platform will continue.Twitch has been addressing trends like hot tub streamsfor years, and it’s likely that streamers may continue to test the lines regarding what’s permitted or not. Twitch’s inconsistencies on the subject do not help, either, and the recent controversy regarding “artistic nudity” on the platform was a good example of how hard it is to tackle the subject in a satisfactory manner for all involved.
