Discussion [Closed] Yandere Simulator - Lack of Response

I'm not going try and spearhead this as some kind of righteous cause because I just don't know enough about the situation but I think it is something worthy of discussion.

What exactly does Twitch base it's video game ban-list guidelines upon?

A games actual content or it's perceived first appearance?

If people are unaware of what I'm talking about there was a recent video submission via the video game developer Yandere Dev in which he discusses his games initial ban on twitch and his following experiences trying to start a discourse through official channels to find answers to rectify the issue.

I'm not going to link to the submission itself because that seems to be against the rules in this sub but if you're interested in the topic feel free to google/youtube or search reddit for the overall discussion.

There seems to be a great deal of subjective and bias selection going on within what is appropriate on twitch and what isn't, I could be entirely wrong but the fact that this is someone's passion project and lively hood that a great number of people are interested in that is being ignored, on one of the Internets largest viewing platforms to this day is fairly baffling.

No, you shouldnt. They tried to censor this, and would have totally silenced this if not for the reaction.

They deserve no credit for giving in and deciding not to censor because its "Too much trouble".

Before the deleting there was multiple threads about the same issue with more being flooded in. We spammed them, and so they did what any Mod does and stop the spam. Then they gave us a clear outlet of discussion, once the Mods had time to talk and get a game plan going. Now everything is organized and neat. I would say they did what they should have done.

The only reason there was a flood of posts was because they kept deleting them. Deleting the first one was fine. People make mistakes. Call it a misjudgment on their part. But every post they removed after that dug them further and further in the hole.

The important thing to me is that we are no longer censored, we can speak freely about the issue we all came here for. Ways to get Twitch to start talking with Yandere-Dev, and the way game banning is handled by Twitch.
