Over the weekend, she says, she received a one-day suspension from the platform for posting content that featured "a nude or insufficiently covered body."The 22-year-old artist from British Columbia took to <a href="https://twitter.com/mizzycyn">Twitter</a> to contest the suspension, posting the alleged notification from Twitch and photos of the content in question. "TWITCH HAS BANNED ME! IDC IF ITS FOR A DAY, IT STILL AFFECTS MY ACCOUNT," she wrote in the <a href="https://twitter.com/mizzycyn/status/1248949504004329472">post</a>. "I DID NOTHING WRONG. Someone is wrongfully banning on Twitch's end."Twitch suspensions, MizzyRose explained, can have implications for a streamer's monetization options. "Being banned at all, even for just a day impacts my account because it leaves a strike on your channel," she told Insider. "A strike can impact a partnership. I applied to be a partner before I was wrongfully banned. I'm [now] scared about what they will say or even if they'll accept me as a partner."MizzyRose went on to post photos of Twitch's "situational" and "<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/community-guidelines/sexualcontent/">contextual exceptions</a>" to its guidelines regarding nudity. One such exception is "body art," which guidelines permit in streams "focused on actively creating content (i.e. painting)."Full chest coverage, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/p/legal/community-guidelines/sexualcontent/">the guidelines state</a>, is not required "but those who present as women must completely cover their nipples &amp; areola with a layer of non-transparent clothing or a paint &amp; latex combination." Additionally, the coverage "must be applied before streaming begins, not on-stream."The Twitch personality, who has been posting <keyword id="682728" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="body-painting">body painting</keyword> videos for the last two months, added that she's been affiliated with the platform for <a href="https://twitter.com/mizzycyn/status/1248949890652094464">five years</a> — and her content creation is a "<a href="https://twitter.com/mizzycyn/status/1248960617102200832">full-time job</a>" and her "livelihood."<h2>The tweet thread has since sparked a debate about Twitch's guidelines, nudity, and who belongs on the platform. </h2>Some commenters jumped to MizzyRose's defense, arguing that her content adhered to the platform's policies. "You were completely covering any visible parts that were deemed unfit for Twitch in all the streams I've watched," one commenter <a href="https://twitter.com/gna2ly/status/1248950817291407361">wrote</a>. "Hopefully you will finish the paint you were in the middle of, was looking amazing!""That banning was total BS. Everything was within Twitch's own guidelines," another <a href="https://twitter.com/JackBundyGames/status/1248951878597001219">added</a>. The post also sparked backlash. "Wrongfully banning??" one critic <a href="https://twitter.com/LeeperGrimm/status/1249053806811402242">tweeted</a>. "This is the most naive statement that can be made with regard to what kind of content you knowingly were live streaming on a predominantly gaming platform.""You're literally naked find a new hobby," another <a href="https://twitter.com/OKCU_kaitlyn/status/1249127697344847873">wrote</a>. Others questioned the sexualization of body art. "To be honest the fixation Americans have regarding nudity is crazy. I live in a <keyword id="24504" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="culture">culture</keyword> where nudity is not inherently sexual," one commenter <a href="https://twitter.com/iidamatilda1/status/1249228871859343362">tweeted</a>. "If you watch tv shows made in my country you most likely will see nipples etc. and it is not seen as sexual."<h2>MizzyRose isn't the first body painter to run into trouble on the platform. </h2>Italian Twitch streamer Alis, who went by AlisPrayer and live-streamed body painting videos, says she was banned indefinitely from the platform on April 8. Feeling "devastated" by the ban, she took her frustrations to Twitter. Her post received over 2,000 likes and hundreds of comments from fans and fellow body painters. Losing a Twitch channel, she says, has serious financial and emotional implications – particularly during the pandemic and a widespread quarantine. "I really love [body painting]. It is a true passion," she told Insider. "Losing my channel without a good explanation is devastating. My channel is my only income right now."<h2>Other women who were censured for their content on the platform are sharing their stories online — and some are accusing Twitch users of targeting women. </h2>One Twitch personality who goes by Velvet tweeted that since receiving a temporary ban in 2019, she tries to be "extra careful about [her] clothing."After Velvet's tweet received <a href="https://twitter.com/ThotTry/status/1250100452668080131">a response</a> from a user threatening to report and get "talentless thots perm banned," Twitch personality <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/kaceytron">Kaceytron</a>, who boasts over 500,000 followers on the platform, <a href="https://twitter.com/kaceytron/status/1250100999731249152">called out</a> what she said was misogyny running rampant in the live streaming community. "There are literally misogynists going around TARGETING WOMEN trying to take away their livelihood," she tweeted. MizzyRose then <a href="https://twitter.com/mizzycyn/status/1250101691581489152">responded</a> to Kaceytron's tweet, adding that women are frequently "sexualized" and "discriminated against" on the platform — which she says is made worse by unclear rules. <h2>Going forward, MizzyRose says, she wants to see changes on the platform. </h2>"I wish for the staff to all be on the same page and fully know their terms of service," she said. "I would also like to see more detailed explanations as to why someone gets banned to they can 'improve' instead of being scared and not knowing why they were banned."Ultimately, she feels, streamers deserve more from Twitch."The streamers are who run their website, the people who provide their income," she said. "We should be treated better."Twitch did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.

But this time, fans were actually calling for her removal.As <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/irl/alinity-suspended-twitch-nip-slip/">first reported by Daily Dot.</a> Alinity Divine's account was removed from Twitch after her breast was shown on-camera during an April 24 stream. Alinity, whose real name is Natalia Mogollon, deleted the video, but viewers had saved and re-posted it on the service. She confirmed on Twitter on April 25 that she'd been temporarily suspended from Twitch for three days. "I'm getting a suspension," she said in a tongue-in-cheek tweet. "Our hard work finally paid off good job guys." As of Monday morning, the <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/alinity">suspension has been lifted</a>, but the most recent clips available on her page are from 2017.Twitch fans have waged battles against Mogollon in the past. Last summer, a <a href="https://www.change.org/p/twitch-ban-alinity-on-twitch">petition</a> circulated to ban her over <a href="https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/peta-demands-twitch-ban-alinity-over-dog-drama-1295787">allegations of animal abuse against</a> her pets, after she <a href="https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/alinity-under-fire-throwing-cat-twitch-stream-821909">appeared to throw her cat</a> during a stream. It now has more than 55,000 signatures. In December, PETA said in a statement that the organization "demanded Twitch take her off of the platform." Mogollon has repeatedly denied the allegations. The suspension over nudity comes amid a long line of removals from the platform. <a href="https://www.insider.com/ricegum-twitch-ban-abby-rao-break-up-2020-4">YouTuber and Twitch streamer RiceGum</a> was suspended on April 8 after a woman on his stream appeared to show one of her breasts, <a href="https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/ricegum-reacts-to-getting-banned-on-twitch-after-controversial-stream-1351134">Dexerto reported</a>. Twitch user and body painter MizzyRose recently received a one-day suspension for nudity, despite body art being one exception to the platform's strict nudity guidelines. Given her controversial history, <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/irl/alinity-divine-nip-slip/">viewers took to Twitter</a> asking for her removal after the April 24 stream in which she lifted her shirt and accidentally revealed her nipple. <a href="https://twitter.com/CandyCakesTV/status/1253945457501368320">One user called Twitch's initial reluctance</a> to take down her page "a slap in the face to all female body paint streamers who have been banned for less."

The board will not make moderation decisions, according to a representative, but will help shape the platform's policies on bans, nudity, age limits, and inappropriate behavior, among other things. <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/cohhcarnage">CohhCarnage</a>, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/cupahnoodle">Cupahnoodle</a>, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/ferociouslysteph" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FerociouslySteph</a>, and <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/zizaran">Zizaran</a> are hugely popular Twitch streamers who make up half of the eight-person board, as announced on May 14.The group also includes Alex Holmes, the deputy CEO at <a href="https://diana-award.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Diana Award</a>, a non-profit organization founded in the memory of Princess Diana that focuses on young people and how they can change the world; Emma Llansó, the director of the <a href="https://cdt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Democracy &amp; Technology's</a> Free Expression Project and an expert on free speech and how it pertains to the internet; Sameer Hinduja, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida Atlantic University and co-director of the <a href="https://cyberbullying.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cyberbullying Research Center</a>; and T.L. Taylor, a professor of Comparative Media Studies at MIT and the co-founder and Director of Research for <a href="https://www.anykey.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AnyKey</a>, which supports inclusion in esports. "When developing this council we felt it was essential to include both experts who can provide an external perspective, as well as Twitch streamers who deeply understand creators' unique challenges and viewpoints," the company said in a <a href="https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2020/05/14/introducing-the-twitch-safety-advisory-council/">press release</a>. "We will continue to invest in tools, products, and policies that promote the safety and wellbeing of everyone on Twitch." The announcement follows <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/opinion/facebook-oversight-board.html">Facebook's decision to employ an independent advisory board</a> to provide oversight on difficult topics including hate speech and harassment. Unlike Twitch's board, the Facebook Oversight Board will "make final and binding decisions on whether specific content should be allowed or removed from Facebook and Instagram," according to an op-ed written by co-chairs of the board for The New York Times. <h2>The news also comes after months of criticism from users of the platform who say Twitch is too strict with its nudity policies and often hands out undue bans to its streamers.</h2>MizzyRose, a 22-year-old body painter from British Columbia who has more than 140,000 Twitch followers, v<a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-body-painters-suspension-sparking-discussion-about-misogyny-2020-4">oiced frustration over her own one-day suspension</a> on Twitter in April. In a tweet, which has since been deleted, she said that she'd done "nothing wrong" to deserve the strike. "Someone is wrongfully banning on Twitch's end," she said. Others who have criticized bans over nudity include <a href="https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/alinity-slams-twitch-over-big-problem-with-its-ban-policy-1360818">Alinity Divine</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/ricegum-twitch-ban-abby-rao-break-up-2020-4">RiceGum</a>. Last month, apparently in response to some of the backlash, Twitch <a href="https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2020/04/07/update-to-our-nudity-and-attire-policy/">announced</a> extremely specific guidelines over nudity. "For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples. We do not permit exposed underbust. Cleavage is unrestricted as long as these coverage requirements are met," the company said in a press release. Zizaran, one of the four Twitch partners on the board, "looks forward to helping Twitch make rules clearer and reducing community confusion, specifically when it comes to bans and suspensions on the platform," according to Twitch's press release. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-body-painters-suspension-sparking-discussion-about-misogyny-2020-4">A body painter says she was wrongfully suspended from Twitch for nudity despite the platform's rules providing exceptions for art</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-suspends-alinity-divine-nip-slip-animal-abuse-2020-4">Twitch suspended a controversial streamer after she accidentally showed her nipple during a broadcast</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/ricegum-twitch-ban-abby-rao-break-up-2020-4">Popular YouTuber RiceGum hosted a Twitch livestream that seemingly got him banned for nudity and called out by his ex-girlfriend</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-subscribe-on-twitch">How to subscribe to a channel on Twitch to show your support and unlock exclusive features</a></li></ul>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitch-safety-advisory-council-board-help-guide-policies-ban-2020-5">Business Insider</a>
