Twitch would be amazing if not for the porn addicted coomers and the OF models they support

Twitch users: how dare you force me to watch thirst trap content. I am completely in control of myself.

I think the problem was it was the first thing anyone logging into twitch saw.

I’m fine seeing nudity, but it’s also not what I want to see being promoted in my face when I’m logging in to watch a game. It’s not a good look.

I think the CEO told a streamer recently in an interview that the problem is the thumbnails.

Letting people twerk but not letting implied nudity indicates zero effective thought or principle on these actions.

Absolutely incompetent morons.

Twerking is mimicking cock riding as a form of dance.

I personally don’t care, the only thing I’m irritated with is their very clear reactionary responses to prudish morons, complete inconsistency and lack of principled stance.

Either let it all be allowed or don’t allow any of it.

This is getting to a point of extreme intellectual dishonesty.

Ah yeah, so in our role book we’re expecting the kids to read and follow, we gotta talk about cock riding now.

Twerking is just aggressive ass dancing bro. The real danger is the potential of a possible idea or hint that someone is probably naked. And in order to prevent this, I here by recommend every streamer wears skin tight body suits. So we know for sure they aren’t naked.

Intellectual dishonesty seems to be a specialty online.

It’s sexual innuendo and very blatant at that.

I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.

They just got pissed at people using censor bars on themselves to make it look like they were naked (in protest for Twitch backing down on their nudity policy).

Yes, it’s a salty move, and yes, they’re being assholes about it.

The thots are assholes right?

Because twitch is a gaming platform, not a PG-13 Onlyfans advertisement platform.

Or is it?

Who cares? Twitch should just give a way to hide these kind of streams for users who dont want to see them.

Not only Twitch features many games with sexual content, which seem to be fine as long as the publisher is big enough. It also doesn’t seem to mind streamers that are only there to chat or draw or do anything else not game related.

So, what’s the problem here? If people think it’s so bad they can just go watch something else.

I’ll never understand this puritan gamer resentment at streamers who dare to rely on sexual appeal over skill or humor or art or any other myriad of ways someone might get an audience.

I’ve never used Twitch and never tried to keep up to date with anything related, but news about it are hard to miss nowadays. And from just my barely surface level exposure to it, it’s so weird. It seems like they completely switch every few months or weeks from “we will allow nudity and even take steps to make it a thing on our platform” to “absolutely no nudity and everyone that tries till get banned”.

What the fuck is going on?

My theory is that they’re trying to find the perfect mix of horny gamers shelling out for bits and subs while staying just within the bounds of what advertisers will allow.

It’s hard because they want the cut they get of horny donations but they don’t want to be a sex site.
