Multiple Major ASMR Accounts Suddenly Removed From YouTube Over ‘Explicit Content’

Earlier this week, a collection of popular ASMR YouTubers discovered their accounts were simultaneously terminated. With no prior warning or the usual strikes, YouTubers such as Slight Sounds, RoseASMR and Its_Bunnii were removed. YouTube informed the accounts that they broke “sexual content” policies, but it’s already sparked up skepticism. While the line between intimacy and eros has always been contentious in ASMR circles, the sudden condemnation of decade-plus projects raises obvious double standards on what’s ultimately allowed on the platform.
