Kick Unveils VTuber-Friendly Changes Amid Twitch Rules Controversy

Kick has begun rolling out more VTuber changes to the streaming platform to attract streamers amid the Twitch rule change controversy.

VTubers were left furious after Twitch changed its clothing policy rules on October 7, requiring virtual models to be fully covered, and it looks like Kick will try to capitalize on the situation with new features.

In a post on its Twitter/X account on October 11, the platform announced the release of a 3D Kick hat asset for streamers to use on their models. “VTUBERS Yes, we like VTUBERS… just saying,” they stated, adding that more are coming soon.

Aurora Phoenyx also announced that she was the first VTuber signed by Kick on October 9th, who showed her appreciation for the platform after an interview with Kick CEO Eddie Craven.

“To my fellow Kick VTubers who are dealing with harassment from Twitch and Twitter ppl right now, stay strong,” she stated via her Twitter/X account, continuing: “You stood up and did the right for yourselves and your communities.Kick welcomes VTubers and supports us.

Santamaria, a Kick employee who was also on the call, responded by saying, “Kick is about providing a relevant option/marketplace that does more for creators so they can do more for their communities. We value our VTuber community.”

Twitch received more backlash on October 10 after creator Chromuchromu was banned for allegedly violating the policy on his birthday, who was left baffled by the temporary ban.

However, despite some upheaval among the VTuber community on Twitch following the rule changes, VTubers have continued to thrive on the platform with no signs of slowing down.

On September 26, Ironmouse broke Kai Cenat’s Twitch subscriber record after gaining over 311,000 subscribers during his subathon stream.
