On May 31, 2025, VTuber Lucy Pyre was suddenly banned from Twitch. The ban came right after she streamed in the “Pools” category. This category allows creators to wear swimwear, but her stream was flagged anyway.
Before the stream, Pyre posted a short teaser clip showing her VTuber avatar's thighs under a skirt. She captioned it,
“In 3 hours, the skirt gets deleted LMAO. Please don't ban me.”
After the stream, she was suspended from Twitch. Many viewers were left wondering what part of the stream broke the rules. The ban only lasted a little over a day, but the situation raised bigger concerns. Many streamers said Twitch did not explain clearly what went wrong. This added to ongoing confusion about how Twitch enforces its rules.
What led to Lucy Pyre’s ban on Twitch?
The ban came after a five-hour live stream in the “Pools” category. Lucy Pyre had teased the stream on social media with a clip showing her avatar in a short skirt. She hinted the skirt would disappear during the stream, leading viewers to expect a swimsuit reveal.
Twitch has a specific category for “Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches,” where swimwear is allowed. Lucy Pyre used this category correctly. She even said during the stream, “It’s a bathing suit, so why would I get banned?... I do things by the book.”
After the stream, Twitch banned her and Pyre reacted strongly on Twitter. She wrote:
“YOU MUST BE F**KING JOKING? @Twitch I WAS IN THE POOLS CATEGORY. WHAT THE F**K DID I GET BANNED FOR???”
She believed her stream followed all the platform’s rules and questioned the decision.

Did Twitch explain the reason for the ban?
No, Twitch did not give a clear reason. Lucy Pyre said she got no details about what part of the stream broke the rules. She said Twitch did not give her timestamps or explain which part of her stream was a problem.
Lucy Pyre asked on Twitter:
“???? i just wanna reiterate. i am quite literally showing more skin on my bikini model. why is the left okay, and the right isn't? can someone at least tell me what it is specifically that staff doesn't like? @Twitch @TwitchSupport.”
She showed side-by-side images of her past streams. One had a bikini model, and the other had a short skirt. She pointed out that more skin was shown in the bikini, which was not banned.
She later added during a YouTube stream:
“twitch doesn't deserve you twitch doesn't deserve anybody they operate at a loss for a reason... they can’t even tell the people who work there why they’re being punished.”
This lack of communication made it hard for her and other creators to understand Twitch’s guidelines.
Why are creators upset about Twitch’s rules?
Many creators say Twitch does not apply its rules fairly. Some believe that certain creators are treated differently depending on how their content looks or how popular they are. This has led to confusion and frustration among streamers, especially VTubers.
Lucy Pyre's case brought up these issues again. She said that her outfit followed the rules. She also said Twitch had not had problems with more revealing models in her past streams. This made her ban feel inconsistent and unfair.
Viewers and other VTubers joined the conversation online. They pointed out that Twitch’s “Pools” category has allowed other streamers to wear swimwear with no problems. They asked why Pyre was treated differently when she did the same.

Lucy Pyre’s Twitch ban shows how unclear content rules can affect creators. She followed the rules for the “Pools” category but still got banned. Twitch gave no details, which made the situation worse.
The short suspension was lifted, but the damage was done. Pyre’s case has become an example of why Twitch needs to be clearer and more fair in its actions. Many in the VTuber and streaming community are asking for better communication and rule enforcement.
