Twitch updates attire policy to prohibit implied nudity.

You know... under my clothes I'm naked right now!

BANNED
- Someone reverse ban this animal! Who can we turn to?!

You pervert
You have skin don't you

the degree to which humans are terrified of their own bodies is ridiculous.

At this point it really has become a site that provides soft core porn to children though, or where loners go to have some titty steamer exploit their desperation.
It’s just not the platform for it. Do it on a porn site, not where kids go to watch video games.
- This is kind of an intentional cognitive dissonance for Twitch due to its having a conflict of interests.
  On the one hand, it wants to tell viewers and advertisers that it cracks down on adult only content.
  But on the other hand, the more adult content they let through, the more money they make.
  It would be very easy to either make an age restricted section where adult stuff would be allowed, or to completely banish streamers who are the modern equivalent of burlesque. But one is bad PR and the other is bad for revenue.
- I agree. If you want to have a "nude gamer" format on one of the adult streaming sites I don't think that's forbidden.
- I had to specifically search out any of the "titty streams" that you speak of.
  If kids are going to seek it out, they're going to seek it out. The problem is that porn sites generally have a much lower quality level, as people just sweep it under the rug and expect it to be seedy and gross.
  Sex is not evil, peoples bodies aren't shameful. The entire reason these streams are so effective at exploiting that is because of the shaming and ostracizing of sex positivity. This isn't a good thing, it's just damage control as they lose advertising revenue as pearl clutchers whine about it in their monthly letter to the editor.
- I don't understand how any of this is a problem. Just, like, parent your fuckin kids.
  This is one step from "take the books out of libraries" level of paternalism
- I have yet to see any of this so called soft core porn. Granted I only watch a few streamers regularly. But I don't think the problem is as wide spread as it's been made out to be. I can click on any random twitch channel streaming (and have before more than a few times), and I've never seen any of this issue.
- loners go to have some titty steamer
  Steaming makes your titties healthier compared to frying
- If the issue is age appropriate content, that should also apply to the games being played. Yet children can watch people playing GTA just fine and nobody cares.
Correction, 'the degree to which humans are terrified of the outer layer of their bodies is ridiculous'
Blood. Guts, and brain matter are a Saturday staple in America, but keep those nipples (of the female variety, male nips are mmm-hmm a-okay) hidden.
- To be fair, if somebody starts streaming without their skin on I'm going to nope the fuck out really quick.
- lol, fair point
But video games where you violently kill people? 100% cool and good.
Remember to subscribe pogchamp monkas omegalul and to buy my shitty supplement powder and lewd anime girl cups
- I see you Steven He watcher.
Whatya mean? You can twitch combat games all day that show every component of the human body flying through the air, appendages, intestines, no problem. Just gotta make sure there's no nipples rendered on the flying parts...
- No female nipples. Bare male chests are perfectly fine.
  Get someone like GG Bridget or Poison from Final Fight and the website implodes though.
It's highly country specific... America's puritanical roots seem to still hold sway. Go to Western Europe and nudity is commonplace
- Go to Western Europe and nudity is commonplace
  Meh, we've been negatively influenced by the puritans I'm afraid.
Meh. Advertising is. They just don't want to become butthole Oreos.
- Buttholes are Leather Oreos, and they can't take that away from us.
Pretend for a moment we live in a world where sex occurs as commonly as a handshake or a hug. In this world sex is everywhere. You grow up and see your parents have sex openly perhaps hundreds of times. When you go to your friend’s house you see their parents doing the deed. You and your friend even did it a few times.
Perhaps a half dozen times you see grandma and grandpa doing it after thanksgiving dinner. No big deal, you’ve seen it so many times now, you barely even look. There is sex in clubs, sex in a city bus, sex at lunch at offices. But amazingly no sex in bathroom stalls or rest areas, or dirty hotels, what few that even exist in this world.
You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday. You struggle to even remember. You lost count a while ago because it is honestly like the question “how many times did you have eggs for breakfast.” By the time you reach your thirties it’s anyone’s guess.
This is the world where no one would care about implied nudity or even full on sex on Twitch. And forget about the taboo-driven sex addictions that are problems. We’d have other taboos, sure, but they wouldn’t be about sex.
- Nudity does not equal sex. People could give up clothes completely and continue with their lives as normal and I bet there would not be any noticable uptick in sex. People have sex, usually in private, even if they would be straight up nudists.
  My guess is it would de-sexualize the naked form somewhat.
- Someone read the first chapter of "Brave New World" and thought it was a true indictment of modern culture.
- I can imagine it but what point are you trying to make here?
- Pretend for a moment we live in a world where sex occurs as commonly as a handshake or a hug.
  So I'm not the only one to have that idea cross their mind! Thank you sir, for making me feel less weird.
  It would still feel strange to open twitch just to discover dozens of streamers shaking hands though.
- nobody here is advocating this, nor would this be necessary to address or to even reduce irrational/outmoded taboos surrounding nudity and sex.
  going to all the trouble to illustrate such a bizarre extreme only proves the point that you’re willing to imagine such a thing out of fear (or to scare others) rather than address the actual problem.
- This is literally my ideal world.
  You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday.
  But surely this is already the norm, yeah? Who is sexually active and has sex less than 20 times? Did you mean 20 partners?
It's a North American passtime since at least the Witch Burnings.... 😕
Whats ridiculous is your body can just NOPE NOT GOING TO BE A BODY GOING TO BE CANCER. Wait what were we talking about? Exestential feelings of death barbie?
I think it's less about the nudity and more about the sexualization. People are trying to replicate an OnlyFans account on a platform designed for kids, which is where people take issue. Considering streaming is so competitive, they're trying to stand out from the crowd by getting as close to porn as they can.
- What do you mean for kids? You can play Mortal Kombat 1 fine on twitch.
- They're not replicating OF, their advertising their OF, and there's nothing about twitch or these streams that explicitly advertises to children.
- Ok so hide it behind a mature content wall. Oh wait it already is.
I'm not terrified of my body. I'm terrified of my aunt Roxy's body. I also don't want any children to see what I saw that one desolate evening. It's probably also good not to let young girl's minds dwell on the concept of being a bimbo streamer while they're supposed to be learning in school.

Hole up! Doesn't the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn't thought that through all the way.

I bet you are naked under those pants, you slut.

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

~~Artistic nudity allowed~~

Implied nudity prohibited

Artistic nudity must be explicit.

Great, now where will I go to find naked people on the internet?

You're already there!
- Vidi, veni, vici.

there was this onlyfan streamer who kept blocking the view of her tits with her hand while pretending to do body art for 13 hrs straight. it was the most retarded shit ever

Oh, my God! Who????
- Yeah that's disgusting. I wish OP could provide us with a link or a name so we know which streamer to avoid.
Ok don't watch it then

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

Absolutely incompetent morons.

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.
One thing is easier to define than another.
- 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.

We want Twitch to be a place where all communities feel welcome.

And in the same breath they ban certain community categories because you can see human bodies. This is not about making people feel welcome, it’s about controlling them, obviously.

Drat. I loved the chaos.

Nooooo now I'll have to go to chaturbate! /s

I imagine Kick.com might leverage this but who knows

It’s already the degen gambler site, add in these streamers with their only fans in their linktree and it’s literally twitch but with blackjack and hookers lol
- Add ex-Twitch streamers causing public nuisance like Johnny Somali and Kick would be unsafe for everyone.

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.

Waiting for the first thot to be "banned" from the newest rule changes and gain exposure on LSF only to come back a few weeks later with more subscribers

Because of the implication

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

Lame

#Rude

Why do softcore porn on Twitch? Seeing how Twitch is known for being a video game streaming site. Sorry but I already know the answer to my question. They will get more views and money on Twitch then on Chaturbate. The controversy they will get from doing it on Twitch. Will only help them not stop them.

Weird bot.
- Not wrong though, the woman that started this implied nudity has an onlyfans.
