As a long-time gamer with years of streaming experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of platform policies and their impact on creators. The recent ban of Pinkchyu from Twitch, just after her VTuber debut, is yet another example of the challenges faced by content creators in this space.
Following her initial appearance on Twitch as a Virtual YouTuber (VTuber), Pinkchyu faced a ban, which further intensified the discontent among VTubers regarding Twitch’s platform rules and regulations.
On November 7, Pinkchyu eagerly anticipated returning as a Virtual YouTuber; however, her anticipation turned into disappointment when she was promptly banned, disrupting her ambition of fully establishing herself within the realm of virtual streaming.
“I do a VTuber stream finally and this happens,” she wrote on X.
As per Pinkchyu’s account, she participated in a live chat session as a VTuber, during which the camera accidentally cut off her virtual character’s head. This incident made her suspect that it was her virtual chest that might have resulted in the ban.
Additionally, she disclosed that this ban would span a period of seven days, making it her initial suspension from the platform following five consecutive years of live broadcasts.
In a different conversation, she shared that during her live stream as a VTuber, her head was cut off in the feed, much like many other VTubers often experience. She’s unsure if her large breasts in real life might be the cause, but regardless, it resulted in a seven-day suspension. This is her first ban after five years of streaming, and unfortunately, she finds herself returning to VTubing at this time.
In simpler terms, I was recently livestreaming as a virtual YouTuber, but unfortunately, the video showed only my body without my head, similar to what many other vtubers experience. Given that I have larger breasts in real life, I’m unsure if that’s the cause, but it resulted in a 7-day suspension. This is actually my first ban after streaming for five years, and coincidentally, I’ve returned to vtubing at this very moment!

Currently, Pinkchyu has changed her initial release date to December 7th, causing a split among fans regarding Twitch’s regulations and the factors behind the suspension of broadcasters, particularly Pinkchyu.
On Twitch, it’s against the rules to post content that heavily emphasizes or focuses on areas of the human body like the buttocks, crotch, or chest (mainly breasts) for long durations.
Although the specific cause of her suspension isn’t definitively known, Twitch’s regulations have ignited repeated discontent among VTubers, as evidenced by October 2024 when they clarified a rule that mandated all VTuber models to be fully covered, particularly focusing on the hips.
VTubers voiced their disapproval towards the rule, with numerous individuals stating they might need to acquire fresh models to accommodate their hips – an expensive undertaking aimed at avoiding being banned.
Twitch has made it clear that the guidelines for Virtual YouTuber (VTuber) streamers have remained the same. As such, VTubers should adhere to the same clothing policies as human broadcasters on the platform.

Later on, Twitch had a conversation with TopMob regarding the situation. They expressed that they aim to handle it correctly and are grateful for all the input, as VTubers remain an integral and cherished segment of the Twitch community.
Yet, they emphasized that they hadn’t established fresh regulations, but rather were reminding users about the pre-existing guidelines within their community.
As a gamer, I was recently given additional scenarios showing what actions aren’t allowed, making it simpler for me to understand and adhere to the rules, hopefully avoiding any misunderstandings or unintentional rule-breaking in the game.
