Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist.

Sexism is an issue with gaming for sure but banning nudity is not sexism.

I'm all for allowing nudity in general, but it would be nice if you could actually block it or at least remove it from your recommendations.

One time I accidently clicked on one of these bathtub streamers and since then there always is one in my recommendation, with no way to remove it. I literally had to install a browser extention "Unwanted Twitch" to finally get rid of it.

How many male bimbo gamer streams are there?

Twitch is stuck between a religious rock and a hard-as-wood place.

Why is twitch becoming a cam soft porn site? It was supposed to be about gaming. I just want to watch people play games.

I'm gonna get downvoted, but this culture where teenagers can form parasocial relationships with what are essentially softcore pornstars and a culture where women can very easily become pornstars isn't healthy.

I agree twitch is stuck but for me they shouldn't allow more nudity. Even if they put it in different categories. It s not a problem of puritanism , it s just that kid will have a direct access to literals strip stream , and your twitch account is directly linked with your amazon account and your cc. I have absolutely not problel with site like chaturbate , because you have to search for it , its completely clear on the content and even if of course there are kids who will browse it , well its more" difficult " to pay on it . Oh and btw on twitch the streamer is way closer to the chat than on any cam site the line between streamer and porn is too blur.

Interesting how we've gone from "expecting nudity from women is sexist" to "NOT expecting nudity from women is sexist".

A bunch of furries tried to abide by this policy and ended up getting banned lol

So what happens when a minor streams themselves nude to thousands of viewers? Does everyone get charged?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In one prominent example, just two days before the policy change, Twitch banned OnlyFans model Morgpie for posting "topless" streams.

Hession confirmed that Twitch's policy prohibiting "content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’ even when fully clothed" was confusing.

"Streamers found it difficult to determine what was prohibited and what was allowed and often evaluating whether or not a stream violated this portion of the policy was subjective," Hession wrote.

The only exceptions will be made for streams labeled as including mature-rated games and profanity, which will still appear in the main feed on the homepage.

"In addition to providing clarity, these updates will also reduce the risk of inconsistent enforcement and bring our policy more in line with other social media services."

“With the updated terms of service, content on Twitch containing mature themes will be allowed but no longer pushed on the homepage of the site,” Morgpie told Dexerto.

I think rule no. 2 should be more clarified.
