Summary
Twitchtemporarily banned Nyanners, one of its most prominent virtual streamers, following her live playthrough of a controversial game. This isn’t Nyanners’ first suspension from the platform; her initial temporary ban onTwitchoccurred two years ago when she was still an emerging creator.
Known for her edgy humor,Nyanners first faced a Twitch ban in November 2022. In a tweet from that time, she explained her model displayed “a little too much skin,” leading to a suspension for “inappropriate attire.” Twitch quickly reversed the decision, allowing her to resume streaming the next day. Now, Nyanners finds herself in hot water again. This time, however, she’s a much bigger name on the platform, boasting over 1 million followers, leaving some fans concerned about her return.
In a recent Twitch stream, Nyanners played acontroversial indie gamecalledAmarillo’s Butt Slapper, leading to a quick ban from the platform. The game includes a feature where players can tap a 3D model, which Nyanners used to create a rhythmic beat. However, due to the nature of the interaction, Twitch’s guidelines team deemed it inappropriate, prompting the ban. SinceAmarillo’s Butt Slapperis unrated, Twitch’s regulation team made the decision manually rather than through automated moderation.
Nyanners’ Ban Lasted Only 1 Day, 4 Hours, and 35 Minutes
Adding to the story’s lighthearted outcome, the ban also sparked a wholesome exchange between Nyanners and the indie game developer Amarillo. In a playful tweet, Amarillo apologized for any trouble caused byButt Slapperand promised to make it up to her, to which Nyanners responded warmly. While Nyanners fans celebrate her return, others are still awaiting the comeback of their favorite creators. October proved challenging for streamers like Frogan and Denims, who were banned after theircontroversial “Sabra Tier List” incident at TwitchCon.
