Twitch slapped Burn with a seven-day ban for erotic role-play (ERP) in World of Warcraft. The streaming community is upset, calling out what they see as blatant inconsistencies in Twitch’s moderation policies.
Burn, known for his entertaining World of Warcraft RP streams, ended up on the wrong side of Twitch’s Terms of Service for some virtual sexy time. The ban has forced him to bow out of ongoing OnlyFangs community event.
Twitch viewers are quick to point out that other streamers have gotten away with far worse offenses with little to no consequences. From live nudity to drug use and even alleged criminal actions, it seems that some big-name streamers are playing by a different rulebook.

One user sarcastically quipped, “You know it’s bad when ERP gets a longer ban than ACTUAL sex/nudity on Stream…” Another chimed in, “Dudes banned for this but Kai can have a chick do coke and a fake hanging and not even a dent in the fender?”
This whole situation has reignited the talk about Twitch’s apparent favoritism towards high-profile, revenue-generating streamers. Many are calling for more transparency and fairness in how the platform enforces its rules.
World of Warcraft’s RP community, where ERP is a niche but common activity, is caught in the crossfire. The ban raises questions about where Twitch draws the line between creative expression and content that violates its guidelines.
