Rinse and Repeat, the latest from provocative designer Robert Yang, was recently banned from being streamed on Twitch. There are only 14 games on Twitch’s list so far, and Yang’s made two of them.
Yang’s game, which Kotaku wrote about last weekend, is about showering with other men. It’s meant to be erotic and, for many players, slightly uncomfortable. And while the men are nude, the dicks are pixelated.
Nonetheless, Twitch felt it wasn’t appropriate for their service, and declared users were not allowed to stream themselves playing it. Rinse and Repeat joins Cobra Club, Yang’s dick pic simulator from earlier this year.

Here are the other games in Twitch’s ban pile:
Battle Rape
BMX XXX
Cobra Club
Criminal Girls
Dramatical Murder
Grezzo 1 & 2
HuniePop
RapeLay
Sakura Spirit
Sakura Fantasy
Sakura Swim Club
Second Life
The Guy Game
Notice a pattern? It’s generally sex and nudity, but it’s worth pointing out that some of the games, such as RapeLay, explicitly focus on sexual assault.
The Adults Only versions of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy and Manhunt 2 are also banned, though players with access to the M-rated versions can stream them. Hatred, however, is outright banned.
