Controversial Twitch ASMR Meta Explained

The new twitch ASMR meta has been controversial in these past few days leading to streamers such as Amouranth and indiefoxx getting banned from the platform for doing these kinds of streams. Now, many streamers have been sharing their thoughts on the matter including Twitch streamer Alinity.

When twitch released their new category ‘Pools and Beaches’ to take action on the hot tub streamers who have been streaming under the Just Chatting content, Twitch streamer ALinity previously stated that this decision of twitch on making a new category can make the hot tub meta died down sooner. It did. But the only thing is that a new meta has risen up as these same hot tub streamers have jumped into the ASMR category doing their “leggings and ear-licking ASMR streams” while laying down in front of their camera.

This has caused a new controversy on the platform with several streamr sharing their opinions on the matter. Twitch streamer Amouranth and indiefoxx, the two biggest streamers who were doing the new meta, have been banned from the platform beginning June 18th.

Alinity shared her opinion on the meta during a recent live broadcast together with Mizkif and Mitch Jones. In the stream, Mitch Jones asked Alinity stating; “I wanna understand why the meta keeps shifting from hot tubs, to now it’s like ASMR and yoga pants, like what is this?” Alinity quickly responded stating; “I think the meta is to try and push sexual behavior as much as you can while pretending like it’s not being sexual.” The three streamers even joked that they would do an ASMR volleyball stream at the beach, with Alinity suggesting Mitch and Mizkif should commentate on the game at a separate table so they can put it in Just Chatting.
