Twitch bans Alinity for dancing
Why was the streamer banned now? Alinity danced in front of the camera during a livestream on May 29, 2023, or more specifically, she “twerked.” Twerking is a dance style where the buttocks are shaken through rapid movements of the hips and pelvis.
While the streamer was dancing, a man who was also present in the room and visible in the stream rapped: “Her butt is so big that Twitch wants to ban it.” – Ironically, the man was right, as the streamer announced the next day (May 30) that Twitch had banned her for 3 days.
As the reason for the ban, Alinity cites the twerking (via Twitter). An official statement from Twitch naming the reason for the ban is not publicly accessible.

What consequences does the streamer announce now? As a result of her ban, the streamer expresses her disbelief and anger on Twitter. She writes: “What a terrible platform. I’m thinking about moving my business elsewhere.”
Possible alternatives to Twitch could be YouTube and the streaming platforms Rumble and Kick. Especially the latter has established itself as the “number 1” alternative for controversial streamers.
Several hours after Alinity’s post, the official Twitter accounts of both Kick and Rumble can naturally be found in the comments.
Overall, Alinity finds the length of the ban (3 days) too harsh. She herself had been banned for a shorter time for a more severe violation of Twitch’s guidelines:
