Twith has officially reinstated the channel of body painting streamer Forkgirl after it indefinitely suspended the account last week for nudity.
Twitch claim, in an email to Forkgirl (h/t Kotaku), that, by its standards, she had not adequately covered her chest, but acknowledged that the rules may not have been entirely clear.
Forkgirl, a bodypainting and cosplay streamer, was painted to look like a fan-made skin of Persephone from Smite, and has done similar things in many of her streams.
“I wear pasties and paint many layers of liquid latex over my chest to hide the pasties,” Forkgirl said, according to Kotaku. “I also start with my camera on my face and neck only, until my chest has been painted. This fits within Twitch’s terms of service and community guidelines and is the standard for most body painters on Twitch. As an extra precaution I stream with my heater on at around 80 degrees F, to prevent my body from reacting to the cold.”
