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 Twitch rescinded the policy 2 days later.

    Though the distinction between girl boobs and boy boobs is silly, that’s a cultural thing not a twitch thing. Have you been on twitch much? It was filled with low-key porn streams of nude streamers & artists drawing smut and high-key porn streams of women twerking.

    (And I know the distinction between porn/not porn is blurry but if you saw them you’d get it)

    I don’t think gamers are the community with the concerns, if anything, they’re mad that twitch is kicking out their cam girls.

      i’ve spent far more time lurking in manosphere adjacent spaces than I have on twitch, and that definitely colours a lot of the views I have about online interactions lol

      I hope you’re right

        The new policy hasn’t really done anything yet. Go to twitch right now and choose to watch an art stream. I guarantee you’ll see a whole bunch of twerking - I saw 4 streams without needing to scroll down. (also several artists drawing skimpy women with massive dobonhonkeros)
