This is a list of the games that are prohibited from being broadcasted on Twitch.tv.
This list is home to such games as Battle Rape,
RapeLay,
and...
Yandere Simulator.
Yes, that's right.
Broadcasting Yandere Simulator on Twitch may result in your account being suspended.
So, why was Yandere Simulator banned?
Was it the bullying?
Kidnapping?
Torture?
Suicide?
Or,
perhaps the panty shots?
I don't know!
Twitch won't tell me!
TwitchSupport hasn't responded to me on Twitter,
and Twitch hasn't responded to the e-mail I sent them over 24 hours ago.
When journalists contacted a Twitch representative to ask for details,
the representative merely linked to Twitch's Rules of Conduct.
However, they won't specify exactly which rules Yandere Simulator is breaking.
Twitch allows you to stream Grand Theft Auto 5,
a game with an interactive torture scene and first-person sex scenes.
However, Yandere Simulator is somehow even worse?
If Twitch actually told me what the problem is,
I might be willing to modify the game so that it's acceptable for Twitch.
For example,
if they have a problem with the giant nude schoolgirls during Titan Mode,
I could re-texture the students so that they look like skinless Titans instead of naked Titans.
If they think that too much of a character's body is exposed when they are partially nude,
I could increase the size of the steam clouds.
However,
if Twitch has a issue with panty shots,
we have a serious issue,
because I'm not going to remove any features from the game just so that Twitch will approve of it.
But, if Twitch won't talk to me,
then we can't begin taking steps towards resolving this issue.
As far as I know,
there has never been a game that was banned from Twitch and then unbanned afterwards.
It's possible that Yandere Simulator might remain banned from Twitch forever.
Fortunately,
there's an obvious solution for that:
Twitch isn't the only streaming website on the Internet.
Yandere Simulator isn't banned on Ustream,
Hitbox,
or Youtube Gaming.
You can still broadcast the game on any of these streaming services.
I hope that Twitch reconsiders their decision.
There's nothing in Yandere Simulator that isn't present in games that they do allow to be broadcasted on their platform.
And if there is something that is unacceptable,
perhaps a slight change will fix the problem.
But I can't begin working towards a solution unless Twitch communicates with me.
Only time will tell how things will turn out.
