Twitch streamer Morgpie painted her feet bright green, chroma-keyed Dark Souls III onto her soles, and called it "Dark Soles." Less than 24 hours later, Twitch banned her. The platform cited a rule against "showing clothed private body parts for prolonged periods of time." Feet are not on Twitch's list of intimate body parts, but here we are: round three of Morgpie versus the Twitch TOS.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Twitch banned Morgpie inside 24 hours of her May 24 'Dark Soles' stream, where she chroma-keyed Dark Souls III onto her green-painted feet.
- The cited rule covers 'buttocks, groin, or breasts.' Feet are not on that list, but Twitch fell back on a catch-all subjective-rulings clause.
- The pulled VOD had already racked up 383,125 views before Twitch yanked it.
- Morgpie's response on X was two words and six question marks: 'WHY??????'
- This is round three. Her 2023 topless meta and 2024 buttocks-greenscreen meta both forced Twitch to rewrite its TOS on her timeline.
- Expect another TOS rewrite. Expect Dark Soles to come back next weekend regardless.
What actually happened?
Morgpie went live Saturday, May 24, with the stream titled "Dark Soles." Her bare feet, painted chroma-green and propped on her desk, became the screen for a Dark Souls III playthrough. The VOD racked up 383,125 views before Twitch pulled it, per Twitch Metrics. The suspension email landed inside a day.
Twitch's March 2024 attire policy lists "buttocks, groin, or breasts" as the intimate body parts whose prolonged focus is banned, per Tubefilter. Feet are not on that list. The enforcement appears to lean on a catch-all clause Twitch added in 2024 about subjective rulings. Morgpie posted the suspension email to X with a two-word caption.
Morgpie has built her entire profile this way. Born in 2001 and streaming as a top-2000 Twitch creator by 2026, she has spent the last two and a half years stress-testing the platform's attire and nudity rules in public, per Wikipedia. The Dark Souls bit is on-brand for her audience. The ban is on-brand for Twitch.
"WHY??????"

Why does this matter for creators?
Morgpie's channel sits at 407,244 followers, with 4,571 average viewers and 137,889 hours watched in the trailing 30 days, per TwitchTracker. That puts her at Twitch global rank #1937 for 2026, per SullyGnome. She is not a fringe account. She is a top-2000 creator whose entire monetization stream just got pulled because of a rule that was not in the rulebook on Saturday morning.
This is the receipts-level version of platform risk. The terms of service for Morgpie's livelihood are not actually written down. They are decided after the fact, by a moderator's read on whether the bit feels too horny. For every creator building on a single platform, that is the deal you agreed to the moment you pressed Go Live.
Translate that into income for a moment. With 347 active subscribers as of May 2026 per Streams Charts, plus ad revenue, bits, and sponsorship deals tied to viewer counts, a suspension of any length is real money. For creators in this tier, a week offline is rent. A month offline is a small business going under.
Where does this go from here?
The pattern is well-established by now. In December 2023, Morgpie launched the "topless meta" by framing her camera to imply nudity while fully clothed, per Dexerto. Twitch banned her for two days, then rewrote the rule in January 2024. In March 2024 she ran a green-screen-on-buttocks Fortnite stream that triggered Twitch's March 29 rule against "content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time."
Each cycle goes the same way. Morgpie finds a body part the policy forgot to name. Twitch issues a ban citing the spirit of the rule, then patches the letter to match. The Dark Soles version is the cleanest test yet, because feet were not even adjacent to the existing list and the actual focus of the frame was a video game, per Kotaku.
Expect the next TOS revision to list "any body part used as a gameplay surface," or some equivalent catch-all. Morgpie has already told followers that Dark Soles will resume this weekend once the suspension lifts, per Dexerto. The arms race continues. It always does.
What does Fanvault think?
The Morgpie cycle is not really about feet. It is about a platform whose rulebook is whatever the policy team decides this week, applied retroactively to whatever a creator did last week. Fanvault's answer to that pattern is the opposite shape: an 8% platform fee with 92% to the creator, verified onboarding, content standards published up front, and a storefront the creator actually owns. The point is that creators in 2026 are tired of finding out what the rules are at the moment they get banned.
Feet today. Eyeballs tomorrow. The rulebook is whatever the platform says it is, and the appeal is a screenshot on X.

Twice, both for similar bits. The "topless meta" in December 2023 framed her camera to imply nudity while fully clothed, triggering a two-day ban and a January 2024 TOS rewrite, per Dexerto. In March 2024, a green-screen-on-buttocks Fortnite stream prompted Twitch's March 29, 2024 rule against "content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time."

When will Morgpie be back on Twitch?
