# Morgpie

Morgpie (born June 1999 or 2000) is a Twitch streamer, OnlyFans model, and pornographic film actress. A content creator, she is best known for her popularization of sexually suggestive niche genres on Twitch, referred to as metas by the platform's community.
In 2023 and 2024, her "topless" and green-screen metas featured implied nudity and the use of body parts as a green-screen, respectively. These genres caught on as trends, sparking similar suggestive content to gain popularity on the platform. Her streams proved to be provocative, polarizing users with some arguing her content was skirting the line regarding Twitch's content policies, while others pointed out a perceived double standard between male and female streamers. The community furor raised on the platform around the metas she spawned led to her temporary ban and multiple modifications to Twitch's guidelines.

## Career

A content creator from Texas, Morgpie is a model and streamer on OnlyFans and Twitch, respectively. Additionally, she is a cosplayer. She is also a pornographic film actress, entering the industry as an amateur in 2019, and having won two Pornhub Awards: one for "Top Squirting Performer" in 2023, and another for "Favorite Fitness Model" in 2024.

### Twitch content metas

In late 2023 and early 2024, Morgpie garnered attention after pushing the boundaries of the Twitch platform's guidelines. She fledged risqué and niche content genres on the service, colloquially referred to as a meta. On December 8, 2023, Morgpie went viral for her "topless" meta, in which she streamed gameplay while appearing to be nude. Though wearing a tube top and jeans, her streams carried an implied nudity due to the framing of her camera, showing her bare shoulders, upper chest, and cleavage but cut off just above her nipples. Not explicitly violating platform rules, her content was technically within Twitch's guidelines on adult female nudity at the time, which prohibited streamers from showing "female-presenting breasts with exposed nipples", with an exception for breastfeeding. She credited fellow streamer AsianBunny for the meta, citing her as an influence to incorporate it into her own streams.
Some users felt Morgpie was pushing the platform's boundaries too far, toeing the line of the Twitch's guidelines. On December 11, her account was banned. Her ban came after hosting a topless charity stream which raised funds for Doctors without Borders. Morgpie stated she was banned for "engaging in lap dances, describing a sexual experience in graphic detail for a prolonged time, and making explicit gestures toward breasts, buttocks, or genitals on stream"; she disputes that she did not engage in the former two on stream, though conceded she "can kind of see" the platform's reasoning for the latter. Nevertheless, she maintained that she previously read Twitch's terms of service (TOS), attempting to work within its confines, and stated that her streams "are always labeled 18 plus", in response to concerns about children potentially viewing sexually suggestive streams such as hers. Morgpie felt that community uproar around her content played a large role in her ban, reiterating that her topless meta was "within TOS". Her ban was shortlived, as she was unbanned days later. In the interim, Twitch made changes to their policies allowing for "artistic depictions of nudity", as well as "deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region" as long as the content was properly labeled. However, the platform expeditiously rolled back their policy update the following day. In January 2024, Twitch again updated their policies, directly nixing the meta as streamers became prohibited to "imply or suggest that they are fully or partially nude".
In March 2024, Morgpie experimented with another meta, wearing a monochrome outfit and using her body as a green-screen. She made particular use of her buttocks as the green-screen projection area, such as in one stream where she reacted to a video by fellow streamer Cr1TiKaL. Debuting the style on March 12, she propelled the meta to gained traction a couple of days later, when she streamed her Fortnite gameplay overlaid on her buttocks. In another stream, she used a green-screen cut-out shirt, causing her head and breasts to be the only visible parts of her body. Like with the topless meta, this style of content proved to be controversial and led to a ban on "content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time" going into effect on March 29.

### Reception and influence

Morgpie polarized users with her topless meta. Male users in particular were noted by Morgan Sung of TechCrunch to be critical of implied nude content. Previously banned user Gross Gore "derided topless meta creators [...] as a danger to children". Conversely, Cr1TiKaL called Morgpie the "most influential" streamer on the platform at the time, opining that "she defines the meta on Twitch" and adding that the "Twitch policy team has to constantly be monitoring her at her mercy". Other male users parodied the meta. Passionfruit noted that Twitch received criticism regarding the multiple updates of their policies to prohibit implied nudity. Some users felt that the guideline updates would only negatively affect streamers with a smaller following. Meanwhile, other users, including Twitch affiliate Ren_Nyx, raised concerns over the perceived double standard between male and female-presenting streamers. They argued the policy change in January 2024 was unfairly gendered, applying only to female-presenting streamers.
As the topless meta became a popular trend in late 2023, it attracted copycats and spurred the onset of the "black bar" meta, in which streamers censored their breasts and genitals with black bars or other filters. The topless meta also drew comparisons to the previous "hot tub" meta, popularized by Amouranth in 2021, which featured streamers suggestively lounging in jacuzzis. Morgpie herself commented on this, stating that while she takes precaution to stay within TOS, streamers "see the success that can be made from doing things like what Amouranth did with the hot tub streams". Her buttocks green-screen meta also led to copycat streamers, who experimented with chroma keying various other body parts or using "NSFW anime images". VTubers were also influenced by the trend, PC Gamer citing one using a virtual avatar of "an anime fox girl playing through a literal boob window". Writing for the Daily Dot, Grace Stanley opined positively on Morgpie's metas, stating "She deserves awards, accolades, flowers even. Even if Twitch implemented a Catholic-school-level dress code, Morgpie would no doubt find a way to go viral for doing something funny".
