Twitch Streamer Morgpie is known for testing the plattform's limits. But this time she seemingly took it too far by using her feet to stream Dark Souls III on.

Morgpie Banned Fo Using Feet As Greenscreen

Morgpie is a well known Twitch streamer, "adult" model, Startup founder, and "adult-film" actress. Her whole content revolves arround suggestive topics, repeatedly toeing the line of what is acceptable on the plattform. She even brought "pets" in gimp outfits to her broadcasts without being banned.

But on May 24, her lucky streak of getting off scott-free has ended. And instead of the "pets", her skimpy clothes or her suggestive language, it was her feet that did her in. She was hit with a temporary suspension for her "Dark Soles" stream, broadcasting herself playing Dark Souls III on her with green painted feet.

The stream of Morgpie with her feet held into the camera was deleted and clips heavily monitored. When trying to visit her Twitch channel, it just showed the message "This channel cannot stream at this time due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines."

However, now, the channel including the questionable feet stream is back up again and Morgpie already plans on repeating the stunt.

The incident once again highlights how blurry and sometimes inconsistent Twitch’s boundaries have become for both creators and viewers. Morgpie has built her online persona around constantly pushing the platform’s limits in increasingly creative ways, but ironically it was a “Dark Soles” stream featuring green-painted feet that finally resulted in a temporary suspension. Now that the stream is back online and she already seems ready to repeat the stunt, the debate surrounding Twitch’s moderation policies, consequences and where exactly the line should be drawn is likely only going to continue.
