ASMR is not a new Twitch category. It's been around for a long time and most of the content contained within it has been fairly innocent - until now.
It was only until recently that the hot tub meta on Twitch died down. Yet, it hasn't taken long for the same to find a way to reinvent themselves on the streaming platform.
Popular streamers such as Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa and Jenelle "IndieFoxx" Dagres, in particular, have taken to the ASMR category. Both have recently been streaming performances of themselves doing fairly suggestive ASMR routines.
This naturally drew the ire of other more wholesome streamers in the same category, with many calling for Twitch to take action, and that Twitch certainly did.
As of June 19, both Amouranth and IndieFoxx have been banned from the streaming platform. Why Did Twitch Ban Amouranth and IndieFoxx? If it's any consolation, both Amouranth and Indiefoxx are still listed as Twitch partners.
Trends tend to come and go on Twitch. The latest, for example, recently saw content creators like IndieFoxx and Amouranth licking microphones and stretching in yoga poses. All the while, these ladies are seen wearing intentionally provocative yoga pants.
