Morgpie is an American 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.
She began creating content online as an amateur pornographic actress, before becoming an OnlyFans model and a Twitch streamer. As an adult content creator, she has received various industry award nominations.
In 2023 and 2024, her "topless" and green-screen metas on Twitch 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.

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.{{cite web|last=Tenbarge|first=Kat|author-link=Kat Tenbarge|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/twitch-rolls-back-nudity-policy-users-post-explicit-drawings-rcna129977|title=Twitch rolls back nudity policy after platform is spammed with sexually explicit drawings|publisher=NBC News|date=December 15, 2023|accessdate=March 16, 2025}}{{cite web|last=Pequeño IV|first=Antonio|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2024/01/03/twitch-bans-implied-nudity-after-creators-push-boundaries/|title=Twitch Bans 'Implied Nudity' After Creators Push Boundaries|work=Forbes|date=January 3, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}}{{cite web|last=Sung|first=Morgan|url=https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/03/twitch-shuts-down-topless-meta-with-attire-policy-update/|title=Twitch attire policy update shuts down the viral topless meta|work=TechCrunch|date=January 3, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} 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 Twitch's guidelines. On December 11, her account was banned following a topless charity stream to raise money for Doctors without Borders.{{cite web|last=Hassall|first=Michael|url=https://esports.gg/news/streamers/twitch-bans-censor-bar-meta-in-new-implied-nudity-ban/|title=Twitch bans censor bar meta in new 'implied nudity ban'|website=esports.gg|date=January 3, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} Morgpie felt that community uproar around her content played a large role in her ban, asserting that her topless meta was within terms of service (TOS), and stating in an interview that she previously read the platform's TOS, attempting to work within its confines.{{cite web|last=McGrady Jr|first=Michael|url=https://avn.com/news/technology/twitch-updates-sexual-content-policy-after-morgpie-controversy-176605|title=Twitch Updates Sexual Content Policy After Morgpie Controversy|work=AVN|date=December 14, 2023|accessdate=June 16, 2025}} Her ban was short-lived, being lifted around two 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.{{cite web|last=Sung|first=Morgan|url=https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/13/twitchs-new-nudity-policy-allows-illustrated-nipples-but-not-human-underboob-sexual-content-update/|title=Twitch's new nudity policy allows illustrated nipples, but not human underboob|work=TechCrunch|date=December 13, 2023|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} However, the platform expeditiously rolled back their policy update the following day. After she was unbanned, she tweeted that the ban was not a result of the meta itself, but rather her "off-screen [boob] clapping".{{cite web|last=Carpenter|first=Nicole|url=https://www.polygon.com/24001176/twitch-sexual-content-guidelines-topless-meta|title=Twitch changes sexual content guidelines after 'topless meta' goes viral|work=Polygon|date=December 14, 2023|accessdate=April 2, 2025}} 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.{{cite web|last=Gutelle|first=Sam|url=https://www.tubefilter.com/2024/03/27/twitch-topless-meta-streams-community-guidelines-nudity-updates/|title=Twitch is tightening its Community Guidelines related to nudity (again)|work=Tubefilter|date=March 27, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} 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.{{cite web|last=Randall|first=Harvey|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/the-twitch-hot-tub-meta-has-reached-new-heights-with-a-green-screen-booty-scene-and-im-mostly-just-upset-by-how-inefficient-it-is/|title=The Twitch hot tub meta has reached new heights with a green-screen booty scene, and I'm mostly just upset by how inefficient it is|work=PC Gamer|date=March 19, 2024|accessdate=March 17, 2025}} Debuting the style on March 12, she further propelled the meta's popularity a couple of days later following a Fortnite stream, with her gameplay overlaid on her buttocks.{{cite web|last=Challies|first=Josh|url=https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/think-your-gameplay-is-ass-you-can-now-stream-twitch-on-a-butt|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240326192650/https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/think-your-gameplay-is-ass-you-can-now-stream-twitch-on-a-butt|title=Think your gameplay is ass? You can now stream Twitch on a butt|work=Dot Esports|date=March 19, 2024|accessdate=March 17, 2025|archive-date=March 26, 2024}} 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.{{cite web|last=Parrish|first=Ash|url=https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/27/24113838/twitch-community-update-body-part-screens-morgpie|title=Twitch bans turning butts and boobs into green screens|work=The Verge|date=March 27, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} 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".{{cite web|last=Taylor|first=Josh|url=https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/moistcr1tikal-claims-morgpie-is-the-most-influential-twitch-streamer-amid-topless-meta-2448735/|title=MoistCr1tikal claims Morgpie is the most influential Twitch streamer amid 'topless' meta|work=Dexerto|date=December 28, 2023|accessdate=March 15, 2025}} Other male users parodied the meta. After the platform quickly reverted the policies they implemented during her ban, those critical of her ban felt Twitch's rationale remained unclear.{{cite web|last=Belanger|first=Ashley|url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/twitch-finally-updates-overly-punitive-confusing-sexual-content-policy/|title= Twitch quickly reverses policy that 'went too far' allowing nudity |work=Ars Technica|date=December 15, 2023|accessdate=April 2, 2025}} Passionfruit noted that Twitch received criticism regarding the multiple updates of their policies to prohibit implied nudity.{{cite web|last=Colombo|first=Charlotte|url=https://passionfru.it/twitch-implied-nudity-black-bar-meta-34143/|title=Twitch Takes Yet Another Swing at 'Implied Nudity' in Latest Rule Change|work=Passionfruit|date=January 4, 2024|accessdate=March 16, 2025}} 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. 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 among those influenced by the trend, with 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".{{cite web|last=Stanley|first=Grace|url=https://www.dailydot.com/passionfruit/morgpie/|title= Morgpie is an innovator |work=The Daily Dot|date=March 28, 2024|accessdate=March 15, 2025}}
