In short, a Twitch admin named Horror adds his boyfriend's fursona's head as a global emote, some people get annoyed after learning that the character is involved in gay vore porn, certain streamers protest for the removal of the emote by placing images and titles on their stream, and hilarity ensues when the admin's boss refuses to remove the emote on the grounds that he "doesn't believe in censorship."
Then said admin goes and disables certain streams because of the drama (though some have been unbanned).
I highly suggest reading the entire picture. It's a gold mine.

Remove Horror 2013
I don't understand a thing of what is actually going on in that picture.
Werster regularly gets 3,000+ viewers
What the fuck
I forgot that Twitch is run by cancer.
Oh wow that's terrible, what the hell kind of site admin adds fetish porn as a chat emote? :v:

Read from top to bottom, it is pretty self explanatory.

Everyone is babies. The people who went and bitched about a goddamn 32x32 or whatever SFW icon of some smiling furfaggot. The mod who banned them afterwards.
Twitch. Babies.
if this turns in to a seven page debate about how furries are cancer i swear to god facepunch

It wasn't porn, it was apparently just the smiley face of that furfaggot or something, it was completely SFW and if people didn't know the backstory they would never find out.

What else are we going to do? Debate professionally?

Most of the issues now are with how poorly Twitch handled the situation. It's one thing for a strange emote to be added, and another to completely ban people who show their dislike for it (albeit in an obnoxious manner), then refuse to address it in any meaningful way :v:
cba to read past paraphrasing, but if the admin "doesn't believe in censorship" and then bans streams for shit-talking the admin that's hilarious

I just mean that I don't want this to go like every pony-related news thread (turns in to a debate about how shit ponies are no matter the original topic).
its like pulsar effect RP and half the darkRP servers from gmod all over again. the second furrys get in power shit starts corroding and falling apart.
Also: apparently the fursona featured in the emote is underaged:

Good job, amazing.

Admin adds a furry emote.
People discover the furry emote is from a character his boyfriend uses in vore porn.
People flip their shit and start demanding he remove it.
Admin refuses.
People start demanding he lose his admin-status through "Remove Horror" titles and descriptions.
Horror throws a man-child fit and starts editing or closing streams that have previously mentioned titles.
When asked why he doesn't remove the emote, Horror says he's "against censorship."
It's basically a furry getting called out for being a furry (and trying to nudge said fetish onto other people,) people going full "kill the Furry" and said furry going mad and removing anyone who opposes him.
I got banned from Twitch once due to a misunderstanding, and when I complained about it on another forum Horror actually found it, signed up to the forum to post that if it was a misunderstanding email him and gave me his email.
I emailed him and he seemed like a really nice guy and unbanned me straight away.

Also, Twitch is outright ignoring any discussion about it. Terrible HR.
This is just all kinds of sad.
This is just odd. And funny. And just confusing.
The icon itself is clean, and doesn't link or make it easy to find porn. Before this I'm sure everyone just thought it to be "another furry face". Am I looking at this too lightly?

How was he nudging the fetish onto people? No one is forced to use it if they don't like it.

If the general consensus is that people want it removed, the icon should be removed.

He's trying to force acceptance of an emote directly tied to fetishistic material on a group of people that have made it [I]very[/I] clear they don't want it.
