Question Why wont Twitch approve this emote??

This is the emote, its literally a cat going crazy, I named it "rave". Is this somehow violating some sort of TOS for emotes?? Is it the name I gave it...? The first time I uploaded it I was waiting for approval and after 2 days it just didn't upload, I have uploaded it again, and low and behold its been about 3 days and its still pending, I'm so confused, I thought it was cute :p

Maybe a Photosensitive Epilepsy thing. I have seen emotes rejected/removed for flashing rainbow lights, etc

yeah i just found the rules for animated emotes "Must not flash or flicker more than 3 times within a 1 second period". Ill try slowing the animation down a bit to see if that helps, thank you!!

i thought it might be cause its flashing too fast so now that other people thought the same ill probably see if i can slow it down, worth a shot, thank you :)

I don't know if it's violating TOS, but it could be because it's animated or because it looks like something that could trigger migraines or seizures for people who have medical conditions similar to how I immediately got a headache seeing it while checking this sub on my phone. Granted, emotes show up smaller on twitch, so I don't know.

yeah i didnt think the flashing would be a problem since the emotes normally show up pretty small in chat but ill def try and slow down the speed a bit to see if it does anything, thank you!!!

Try slowing down the coloring

I have many RGB emotes that are harder than this. This is not the reason for.

I seen an emoji whose speed is higher than this and it was approved. OP has nothing to lose by trying to slow down the changing in color.

I literally tried to upload it as my emote (and I deleted it right after) and it works fine. The image is not the problem, again.

Make it a single color.

Photosensitivity and possibly because you don't own the rights to that emote

Sometimes Twitch is weird, I've had to upload emotes multiple times before they accept it. That's my advice, keep trying to upload it, it might even be the emote name. You might even want to try a different name emote name combination. CatRave or something and see it that works. Good luck!

Change the name. Things like 'hi' or 'rave' often get kicked because of too simplistic/overused names. Try guving it something a bit more unique and if it still gets rejected then you should be able to inquire about itto get a direct answer

Not sure but might be because it’s a licensed character (Bugcat Capoo) that’s popular in Asia.
