Streamer's Twitch description flagged over 'Beating Off' wordplay

Original: Beating Off, which apparently Twitch has a problem with me putting in the stream description. I'm not sure why they don'

A streamer says Twitch took issue with the phrase 'Beating Off' in a stream description, where it was meant as wordplay referencing the puzzle game OFF, whose finale he planned to play. He joked that moderators would feel better if they got OFF and beat OFF. The clash highlights how automated or strict moderation on Twitch can misread innocent gaming references with double meanings.

Why now: The funny double meaning and Twitch moderation clash make it shareable

• Beating Off, which apparently Twitch has a problem with me putting in the stream description. I'm not sure why they don't like it, but I'm sure if they got Off and beat Off, they'd feel a lot better about it. OFF (Finale, hopefully) + maybe more? (Probably not) https://www.… · MichaelMacaw@blimps.xyz
