Twitch Banned Nyanners

Key Takeaways

  • Nyanners faced a brief ban from Twitch after playing a controversial indie game with inappropriate content.
  • The ban only lasted 1 day, 4 hours and 35 minutes, and he quickly returned to the stage.

Twitch has temporarily banned Nyanners, one of the most popular viral platforms, after it played the controversial game live. This isn't Nyanners' first suspension from the stage; Twitch's first temporary ban happened two years ago when he was still a budding developer.

Known for his funny jokes, Nyanners faced his first Twitch ban in November 2022. In a tweet at the time, he explained that the model he was showing was “too skinny”, leading to a suspension for the “improper clothing”. Twitch quickly reversed the decision, allowing him to continue streaming the next day. Now, the Nyanners are in hot water again. This time, however, he is a bigger name on the platform, with more than 1 million followers, making some fans worried about his comeback.

Twitch has banned Frogan

Twitch streamer Frogan has been banned from the platform after a series of altercations involving him and other developers.

In a recent Twitch stream, Nyanners played a controversial indie game called Amarillo's Butt Slapperleading to a quick ban from the platform. The game has a feature that allows the player to tap a 3D model, which the Nyanners used to create a rhythm. However, due to the nature of the connection, Twitch's guidance team deemed it inappropriate, resulting in the ban. That's why Amarillo's Butt Slapper was not rated, Twitch's disciplinary team made the decision manually rather than through automated editing.


The Nyanners ban lasted only 1 day, 4 hours and 35 minutes


Fans of VTuber Nyanners are relieved to be back on Twitch just a day after the incident. According to the StreamerBans Twitter account, Nyanners was unbanned on October 26th after 1 day, 4 hours and 35 minutes. His quick comeback contrasts with that of Chromuchromu, another popular virtual streamer who faced a similar Twitch ban a few weeks earlier but was not suspended for an entire week. During Twitch's brief hiatus, Nyanners took to YouTube, describing the experience as “a lot of fun” in a tweet. Nyanners hinted that he might start uploading karaoke content on YouTube whenever possible, which has received enthusiastic support from his fans. The premier Twitch-based streamer, Nyanners YouTube channel — with over a million subscribers — has featured videos and edits from his stream to date.


Adding to the light effects of the story, the ban also sparked a fruitful exchange between Nyanners and Amarillo indie game developers. In a playful tweet, Amarillo apologized for any trouble this caused Butt slapper and promised to compensate him, which Nyanners responded with enthusiasm. While Nyanners fans are celebrating their return, others are still waiting for the return of their favorite creators. October proved difficult for streamers like Frogan and Denims, who were banned after the controversial “Sabra Tier List” incident at TwitchCon.
