Kirsche Verstahl took to X on the same day (May 16, 2025) to reveal why her Twitch channel had been banned. She shared a screenshot of the platform's email informing her that her channel had been taken down for broadcasting "sexual content."

An excerpt from the email reads:

"Reason: Sexual Content. Broadcasting, uploading, soliciting, offering, or linking to p**nographic or s*xually explicit content, or offering or soliciting s*xual content or services in exchange for goods, services, or money (including cheers, Bits, subs, and in-game items). Examples of violative conduct include, but are not limited to: Roleplaying o**l sex in virtual reality. Drawing characters engaged in s*x or m**turbation with or without s*xual bodily fluids visible. Displaying s*x toys in a non-educational context."

Furthermore, Twitch confirmed that the channel will be banned for one day.

Commenting on the situation, the VTuber wrote:

"oh wow I wonder who could be behind this especially after that AI slop article put out about how I read Ana Valen's fanfiction truly a mystery the harassers cry out as they strike you"

It should be noted that the "fanfiction" in question is an original piece of erotica by reporter Ana Valens.
