Highlights
- Twitch has banned streamer Morgpie for the second time in a month, likely due to Twitch’s stance on nudity and sexually suggestive content.
- The ban duration is currently unknown, but based on Morgpie’s previous bans, it is expected to be temporary.
- Female streamers often face controversy and bans on Twitch, such as in the case of Amouranth, leading to ongoing discussions about nudity and suggestive content on the platform.
Twitch has 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 many female 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 a huge controversy about nudity on Twitch and 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.
Twitch Is Shutting Down in One Region
Popular livestreaming site Twitch announces that it will be ending service in a major region, leaving many streamers to seek new options.
Now, Morgpie has been banned from Twitch once 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?
- Morgpie was banned on December 20, 2023, and she’s currently still banned at the time of this report.
- Morgpie was also previously banned on several occasions: April 6, October 6, November 21, November 23, and December 11, 2023.
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 streams for 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.
