Drama time! It's a good one - Twitch vs. the Community! It always ensures sparks fly.
If you're out of the loop, because you're not insane and wildly too invested in this hellhole site like me, Twitch recently updated their Terms of Service. One important change was in regards to "artistic nudity". Basically, up until now, drawing anything NSFW would be treated the same as if you would show actual tits on stream - you'd get banned. This was a bit of a sore spot, because Twitch has become home to a
crapload of talented digital artists, who stream themselves drawing. And yes, all of those drawings were perfectly SFW, although a vast amount of them only just so - plenty of bikinis and suspiciously tight croptops were drawn.
Now, the new ToS explicitly states that this will be allowed, saying it was an unfair rule, that negatively impacted the art community. That means that, from now on, drawing tits or showing artistic nudity would be allowed.
And of course, that opened the fucking floodgates. Within minutes, the Art category was
awash with NSFW streams, every artist under the sun taking the opportunity to draw boobs and huge furry cocks. It was, honestly, glorious. Some of the artwork was actually pretty good, too. But of course, the majority was just people jumping on the meta of "imma draw a massive cock now".
Enter the highly regarded, red-headed stepchild of doing stupid shit:
PayMoneyWubby.
To his defense, Wubby has always been a very "if you won't tell me, imma find out" type of streamer. Toeing the line is only possible if you actually know where the line is, and when the line is blurry, Wubbert just jumps over it in an attempt to see what the limits are.
In the wake of the NSFW art meta, he decided to see what the new line was. He started watching NSFW stream after NSFW stream, showing cocks, boobs, asses, and giant werewolves lifting with an erection. It was insanity. He has a pretty high viewcount, and he was showing all of them the most fucked up and degenerate artists available on the platform.
So of course this happened:

He netted a seven day ban for his stream. But why? Was it the nudity? Was it some other slur? Mass reports?
Luckily Wubby himself deigned to reveal the answer to us:

Apparently, some of the artists that started drawing NSFW stuff, decided it would be a good idea to draw loli stuff. I've seen some clips fly by, now deleted, and the chat in those streams is absolutely disgusting. It's just unabashed pedophilia, egging the artists on to make more underage stuff. Luckily, those streams were quickly banned, but it seems that in typical Twitch fashion, the pendulum swung too far back to the other side again.
The most accepted theory in the community is that Wubby got hit due to a particularly suspicious AI femboy drawing. It wasn't anything illegal, just so we're clear, but an overzealous Twitch admin could see it as such, and make a quickfire decision without thinking more than 2 seconds about it.
So there we are. Twitch comes out with new, sloppily defined ruling, people immediately take advantage of the shitty writing, and things blow up spectacularly when Twitch can't decide on which parts of the rules it wants to follow, and what is or isn't bannable.
Well, Wubby deserved the vacation, anyway. Happy new year!
