After receiving a ban from Twitch for violating the site's guidelines, Natalia "Alinity" Mogollon expressed her disappointment on social media and hinted at the possibility of switching to a competitor's platform. This is not the first time Alinity has faced a ban from Twitch; in 2020, she received a one-day ban following a wardrobe malfunction during a stream, which was later extended to three days at her request. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Alinity has maintained a large following on Twitch, with over 1.4 million followers at the time of her second ban. However, unlike her first ban, Alinity's response to her second ban has been less than positive.
Alinity confirmed on Twitter that she received a three-day ban from Twitch for "twerking" on stream, which violated the site's rules against suggestive and sexual content. She also posted a clip of the dance for transparency. Alinity mentioned receiving a less severe punishment for a previous wardrobe malfunction in 2020, but criticized Twitch's policies against sexual content and argued that there are more serious offenses to prioritize. She even hinted at the possibility of streaming elsewhere, although it's unclear if she meant Kick or Rumble. Despite some Twitter users bringing up her past cat-throwing incident, most responses were in support of Alinity this time. While some agreed that the dance violated Twitch's rules, others thought the three-day ban was too harsh, and some even deemed the dance "tame." Alinity has no plans to appeal the ban as of now.
The debate surrounding Twitch's sexual content policy continues to spark controversy within the streaming community. Despite this, it remains to be seen what consequences Alinity and Twitch will face in the future as a result of her ban.
