Twitch has new nudity rules, and they’re detailed

Hide ya nips! They're coming for them!

I'm more offended by his shit tattoos. You would have thought he could afford better.
 
I think it’s because a lot of kids use twitch.
Do parents not watch their kids anymore? I would have never gotten away with looking at inappropriate stuff online as a kid. If kids aren't supervised at all by their parents I'm sure they're able to see much worse on websites other than Twitch.

So, Kids should not see naked male or female bodies because they are... bad?

I find all this human anatomy censorship appalling. Sure we can see murder and mutilations in games, but oh boy ONE NIPPLE could de stabilize our minds!
"The kids are playing, what will they do if they see a penis!!! A penis like the one they may have, that is bad! They should not see anyone's penis, not even know others also have penises, they should be ashamed of their own!"

So I agree to a point. But some sort of community standards are required, question is where do you draw the line?

If you don't have any standards you end up with Chaturbate. I'm sure some would be happy to see Twitch morph into Chaturbate, but the platform holder is within their rights to not want to offer that.

There's a happy medium to be had.

No they really dont, the problem is everything has the internet now. My niece sits in front of her tablet or laptop all day. They try and monitor it but its hard, they are working from home now with the rona, and cant watch them 24/7. But I do agree, its mostly on the parents, but kids talk and learn of twitch, fortnite, being a youtuber etc. Utter nonsense.

Most* parents stopped giving a shit what their kids do in front of the computer, TV, out at night or just in general YEARS ago.

(*yes i know, hyperbole and all that)

While I hate censorship and puritanism, I can see why this needs some regulation.
If you want to consume sexual content there are way better platforms and you don't need to be on twitch.
However it's wrong to have a 10 years old kid watching a fortnite stream 1 click away from softcore porn.

Its not the simple female form that is attracting young males to titty streamers. Its the personal connection they feel to the streamer thru chat and the dependability from knowing they will be there. A lot of these viewers have what we would call a crush, i guess on them. The titties are just what gets it started.

If you're going to Twitch for sexy bodies, you're doing it wrong. Porn apps already have live streams that give you a better selection of better bodies. It's a bit sad that Twitch has to implement such policies, but I suppose it's a larger platform, so it gets exploited. Still, who actually watches these things instead of just going to Pornhub? Why waste your time with half-measures? There's tons of great cosplay porn on PH. If you want to wank, do it right.

Same reason why people donate to these girls instead of watching free porn.
They think they have a chance at banging them if they are nice to them.

I paid good money for this Dynex!

That and when they are just scantily clad, it feels so much wronger in the best possible way.

Not that I know.

Allowing violence and gore in video games on Twitch is fine because the audience on Twitch are mature. But revealing clothes is not okay because the mature audience on Twitch consist of children.

Hold on, I believe this is the definition of a 'contradiction'.

Anyway, this doesn't affect me personally as I never understood the appeal of watching other people play video games. But I do wonder how Twitch respects the PEGI ratings, what happens if a 10 year old watches a games with 18+ rating for example?
 
I really hate this new world morale. Nothing wrong seing people being murdered / tortured but seing a naked body is shocking ?

We are all part of nature. Human body is one of the most fascinating thing on earth. We are constantly harrassed by predicators that know what is good or bad.

I just feel we are back to middle age with religious morale at the heart.
American prudishness is also a problem due to us media having so much impact worldwide.
