On Wednesday twitch changed their site rules to allow artistic nudity. The policy allowed streams to display nonsexual nudity as long as the stream is tagged, so that the stream would be hidden from the front page. Twitch rescinded the policy 2 days later.
Is the former policy why I saw a screenshot of some greased up girl without a top on twitch?
I don’t think twitch could possibly be used for “artistic” nudity tbh. It would just become a cam porn site, which it almost is anyway.
Yes. There was a surge of streams that were testing the boundaries of the new rule. I think Twitch may have revoked the rule because they were overwhelmed by how many streams were testing the limits.

depending on the girl she might’ve been dressed and using a suggestive camera angle. if you saw female-presenting nipples i’m thinking of someone else.
I’m surprised it lasted 2 days tbh
F in the chat for all the cute furry twinks and femboys drawings
So weird the moral panic that was happening from this lmao. People are way too obsessed with kids seeing nudity, every generation grew up trying to see porn, from boomer magazines to fuzzy ppv on channels you didn’t have access to to sneaking it on a laptop, I don’t see how this is effectively different lol.
Whatsmore is that there’s this pretending like the Internet isn’t one giant ecosystem. There’s literally nothing stopping kids from opening up pornhub, or if it’s blocked some other million sites to choose from, on another tab and saying they’re 18 lol. Why does it fucking matter if twitch allows some nudity on there?

It does to advertisers who don’t want their product associated with that. Also, Hexbear doesn’t allow nudity / porn partly because it doesn’t fit the culture that the mod team wants to cultivate, same goes for Twitch

What fucking culture ARE they trying to promote on twitch? Kinda seems like the platform is basically designed for cam porn.
I think hexbear does allow nudity so long as it’s properly tagged as nsfw, but not porn. I’ve definitely seen some butts on here
Someone linked a video of themselves lactating while “a red sun rises” played. That got removed but it did happen
same goes for Twitch
nah, they also promote joining the military and beer to children. they’re just caving to weird incel nerds who wont shut up about this. it has nothing to to with any kind of moral imperative
it’s weird to compare hexbear and twitch, different websites for different things with a vastly different budget to moderate things on. like we exist here on a nothing budget for a niche audience, while twitch is MASSIVE in comparison
i guess i think of major websites as sort of central hubs of the web, so it’s odd to cordon off it like this, similar to tumblrs banning of adult content
Porn should not be in spaces not specifically for it. It’s distracting and at times disgusting when it’s where it doesn’t belong.
Apparently this is a hot take: porn should be age-gated.
Nudity isn’t the same thing as porn and while you can argue that twitch’s new policy bans too much, it’s inarguable that many streams were pornographic. Kids shouldn’t be suggested streams of girls twerking on their Fortnite website.
Also I think pornhub and similar porn sites should do more to filter out children.
it’s not a hot take, it’s what everyone is saying in the discourse. i’m saying there’s nothing to be done about it and kids looking for porno and finding it before they’re of age is a ubiquitous experience throughout multiple generations and i do not think this is particularly different.
you can dislike this but i mean it’s just reality.
There is something to be done about it… like not hosting porn on the same website that kids use to watch Minecraft, for starters. And it’s being shown to everyone, not just people that are looking for it.
Yeah some people on the Internet act like kids start (or should start) puberty at 18. they don’t, sorry guys. The answer is actually decent sex ed and specifically teaching them how to protect themselves from creeps, not trying to gate porn behind a driver license or whatever the Mormons think of next
