Twitch rescinds policy that allowed ‘artistic nudity’ / The decision comes two days after the company said it would allow some sexual content::Twitch has quickly taken back its policy update that gave users permission to post sexual content as long as it was labeled.
Nudity can be artistic but we all know how this is going to be exploited on twitch
I just hate that highly entertaining, high production value, high effort streamers get like 10-50 viewers tops, and two chicks sitting on the couch barely speaking will get 3,000. Like I understand what drives it, but how fucking desperate are people.
Geez, the fuck’s going on over there?
I don’t think anyone minds artistic nude or even full on porn, assuming there’s reasonable legal protections to keep underage kids away.
As we saw in the two days the former policy was in place, there are/were not.
Also, Twitch is meant to be a gaming-centric streaming platform, not OnlyFans 2.0. There are a million other sites on the internet to find porn, let Twitch be what it’s supposed to be.
Thank you! I feel like the plot was getting lost here debating the morality of nudity while ignoring that the site is a gaming streaming service.
Nudity/porn doesn’t bother me at all but the moment twitch becomes widely associated with it is the beginning of the end. Parents will think twice about allowing kids into the service, brand equity suffers, other services start up that allow for safer spaces and eventually, as you said, twitch risks being considered OF 2.0.
Did you ever watch JustinTV?
good ol’ justin tv lol… i was one of the first few streamers on it… i know that sounds hipster and all, but i miss those days… i got in trouble for streaming family guy and games that didn’t get released yet 😂
I remember seeing all types of strange porn there.
oh wow i don’t remember that part. i wouldn’t be surprised tho.
It was the first place I saw the video of the one lady slingshotting horse chestnuts into another lady’s anus.
😆 😆 😆 i apparently missed out on a lot!
Did anyone really expect this part of the policy to stay? My understanding is that they only reinstated the nudity ban, the rest of the new allowances are still allowed.
I wasn’t even sure if that was the case from the statement, seemed like they revoked the option of cartoon imagery. I expected that may be due to the complications of unrealistic body image associated with suggested age, to be vague enough to avoid an argument in my replies
