A Twitch Streamer Gets Suspended Over A Chun-Li Cosplay

Quqco got suspended for three days because of sexual content, although the Chun-Li cosplay itself doesn’t look like suggestive at all…

A picture of the stream. Kotaku reports that part of the cosplay has a slit on the thigh, but Quqco said that she bought one sizer bigger to avoid getting a deep slit. She added that a group of trolls continue to report her: „I am immediately reported because I’ve been branded a thot.” She got previously banned in August for dressing up as Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters, but she claims that suspension happened because of the LiveStreamFails subreddit with reports coming from there. A LivestreamFail moderator denied any connection to the most recent stream, but, according to Kotaku, one member of the group wrote the following in a since-deleted post: „LMAO[, I] saw her streaming again today and instantly reported the thot.”

Twitch‘s guidelines define sexually suggestive content as vague. The suspension/banning is also considered with the following things in mind: „behaviour and commentary, reaction to content, such as chat messages from the broadcaster, moderators, and what chat messages they permit in their community, attire and environment, such as location and background music, props, etc., camera framing, angle, and focus, stream attributes, such as title, intros/outros, custom thumbnail, and other metadata, profile and channel content, such as banners, profile image, emotes, and panels. „For example, something that is acceptable for a broadcast at the beach or the gym may not be acceptable for a cooking or gameplay broadcast. In an effort to help creators abide by our Community Guidelines in the same way they would expectations of behaviour in the real world, we’ve updated our policies to reflect that we will consider not just the attire itself, but also the contextual setting in which it is worn and the intent of the person wearing it, when moderating content. Please remember that sexually explicit or suggestive content, such as nudity exposing or focusing on genitals, buttocks, or nipples, and attire intended to be sexually suggestive are prohibited,” Twitch writes.

„I’m SO angry right now. When I got banned, I was showered with over thousands of sexual harassing comments, constant bullying, and media attention to paint me as a sl_t or wh_re: YouTube videos, articles in different languages, Reddit threads… I kept quiet and took it, but seeing all these ladies getting banned left and right for wearing comfy sports clothes or for wearing a SHIRT and getting harassed, spammed, trolled, threatened, and LORDED OVER by these keyboard warriors. I’m just SO angry at this injustice. How is it OK for women to have to take this abuse because a bunch of trolls want to mass report? How is OK for trolls to continuously come at us and we can’t do anything but TAKE the beating? Get enough mass reports and we automatically must be banned,” Quqco wrote via three tweets.

She has a point – can’t the guidelines be more exact? Also, previously, another streamer, Alinity, has thrown her cat across the room, and she still streams on Twitch as if nothing happened…
