VTuber Nyanners Twitch Ban: Playing Butt Slapping Simulator Leads to Suspension
Popular VTuber Nyanners, known for her pink hair, faced an unexpected ban on Twitch, a platform where she boasts over a million followers. The ban, which occurred on October 24, was linked to the game she was streaming at the time: Amarillo’s Butt Slapper.
Amarillo’s Butt Slapper, as described on Steam, allows players to indulge in their buttock-slapping fantasies. The game's objective revolves around tapping the gluteus maximus repeatedly, offering a unique simulator experience.
Following Nyanners' ban, the game's creator, Amarillo, took to X to acknowledge their role in the suspension. In a post, they humorously claimed responsibility, stating, “Nyanners will forever be remembered as the one who slapped the hardest. I did this to you. I’m sorry!”
Amarillo shared screenshots, including one of Nyanners' Twitch VODs titled “I found the best clicker game on Steam,” showcasing the moment that led to the ban. Expressing remorse, the developer pledged to make amends for the situation, feeling accountable for Nyanners' suspension.
