Twitch’s “hot tub meta” controversy continues to cause havoc on the live-streaming service. Although the platform has clarified that it supports women broadcasting from hot tubs, even if they are only bikini-clad, a new streamer recently claimed that the company has a different opinion in place for People of Color (POC).

ExoHydraX has spoken out against the platform after her recent three-day ban due to a controversial hot tub stream. The broadcaster shared the news of her account suspension on Twitter, claiming that being a “Woman of Color” (WOC) was her fault and the reason behind her ban from Twitch.

Twitch’s user community has been vocal towards creators such as Kaitlyn “Amournath” Siragusa for hurting the platform with suggestive hot tub streams. However, the company hasn’t yet banned such streamers for any kind of “explicit content.”

But fans were not best pleased with her claims, questioning her intent behind making such allegations.

The tweet was subsequently deleted, but the 22-year-old then put out another tweet claiming that by discrimination she was, in fact, referring to Twitch's problem with her “body type.” However, the new post has also been removed by the user.

Twitch hasn’t responded to ExoHydraX’s queries, and it seems the streamer has also embraced her three-day ban. But fans have begun questioning her intent behind accusing Twitch of racism.

The streamer’s timeline is filled with fans asking why she deleted the tweets where she alleged racism and discrimination over her body type.

Some have questioned ExoHydraX, saying that the broadcaster will soon receive a permanent ban for her antics and suggestive streams. Readers can find tweets from followers below:

In a past incident, the Call of Duty competitive player received a questionable ban for “suggestive” clothing. But the streamer claimed it was due to users engaging in mass reporting of her stream.

Nevertheless, it must be noted that the three-day suspension was her first ban for a hot tub broadcast.

The “hot tub meta” phenomena has lately been gaining popularity among users, with even Imane “Pokimane” Anys recently announcing her very own hot tub stream on the platform featuring OfflineTV.

Pokimane has also addressed the hot tub meta issue and stated that fans should point fingers at the platform rather than its creators. In the meanwhile, hot tub meta shenanigans from creators and Twitch continue.
