Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy::Twitch has rolled back the artistic nudity portion of its sexual policy that allowed previously prohibited forms of sexual content.
There is nothing wrong with nudity.
People clutching their pearls about it is the problem.
There’s a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I’m exhausted by people like you pretending there isn’t and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.
It’s some disingenuous bullshit that I’m having a harder time believing isn’t intentional muddying of the waters by coom brained porn addicts the more I hear it repeated.
If you think that plain nudity made twitch rescind this, or that the majority of people against this shit are against nudity itself, you’re sorely mistaken. I’m tired of sexualized content fucking everywhere, especially on video sites like youtube and Twitch that have content that targets children (most game streams and video content) right the hell next to people doing bikini jumping jacks in the shower.
Porn exists. I enjoy it. I don’t need the lines blurred between it and other content by people out to make a quick buck off the pathetic people being tricked into paying for it by parasocial grifting.
Context matters, and Twitch already had a glut of streamers using it purely as an on ramp to their OnlyFans and other paypig sites before this harebrained shit.
Fucking on the money. (actually… literally)
Exactly.

If you can’t tell the difference between nudity and sexual content, maybe it’s time you cut back on the jerking off.

Thank you for self selecting out of the discussion, although I don’t understand your need to broadcast it.
Legitimately confused here. Did you think making this comment would make you look cool, get you upvotes or something?
Adds nothing to the conversation unless you’re willing to expand on why that phrase affected you the way it did.
Fuck it. Lets throw some sass. Did it hit too close to home, or do you just assume there’s enough people who have the same views as you that they’ll understand your vague as hell attempt to throw shade?

Lol so every site should feature nudity now? Will you be happy when Twitch turns into onlyfans? As if there aren’t enough places on the internet someone can go to for showing off their body.
Unless it’s specifically marketed at children, every site should be able to show nudity, yes. We’re all human beings with the same parts; let’s get over ourselves already.

Yikes, you’re projecting so hard
If you don’t want to see it don’t look.
How about if you want to see it, go look for it? You’re really suggesting they should add nudity on my feed and I should just look away?
Maybe you haven’t noticed, but there’s plenty of nudity on Lemmy. Do you just ignore it here?
Or do you instead block instances, subscribe to those you’re interested in, and otherwise leverage tools to avoid content you don’t want to see?
Just like that. I don’t think many people are arguing that some cam girl’s asshole should be displayed uncensored on the front page of Twitch. I’d argue that they should keep the default experience tame, but allow its users to choose what they want – or don’t want – to see through settings and features.
Yeah I don’t use Twitch but I’m confused why they don’t require streamers to, like, tag their content with what it is. Not just for sex stuff, but generally. Have tags for like Realistic Violence, Cartoon Violence, Nudity, Musicals, Sexual content, etc, and then let the users (and advertisers) pick what tags they care about.
Then they can have enforcement around “You only tagged yourself Cartoon Mischief and had a hardcore anal scene - That’s a breach”. That seems like a simpler problem that would work for everyone. If you don’t want to see porn, just block the tag. That’s kind of how Steam works. They have porn games and I just don’t see them because I blocked the tag.
That is basically what the policy was.
The content tags are increasingly becoming a thing but are mostly handled on a per game level. So if Space Marine has dismemberment, there would theoretically be “dismemberment” listed in the content warning list for a stream that has set their game to Space Marine. I assume this is just pulled from the ESRB/european version database, but not sure. “Mature” game means it doesn’t show up on the front page and you get a warning when you click in.
What this is rolling back was a similar approach being taken for nudity. Streamers would tag that they may have sexualized content or nudity on screen and it takes them off the front page and provides similar warnings.
So what happened was a bunch of assholes decided to go batshit insane to “protest” this and get it rolled back. Which means, funny enough, the hot tub streams and the like are once again front page eligible.

Did they do exactly that yesterday?
You are still alive today so what’s your problem?

Yes, thay’s totally what’s going on here. I shudder whenever I need to use the restroom, because I can’t bear the thought of catching a glimpse of my own genitals. Every morning shower is a panic attack. Intimate moments with my wife are a traumatic blur of shame and disgust.
Or maybe, just fucking maybe, there’s a massive goddamn difference between plain nudity and sexualized content and twitch has already shown many many times that it can’t be trusted to moderate that distinction.
Fucking hell this is exhausting. There’s incredibly few people opposed to this due to puritanical concepts of “dear god not a female nipple!”, and a shit ton of people tired of the constant forward march of increasing sexualization of everything. Y’all need to stop fighting imaginary enemies.
If you want to jerk it to something there is more porn available for free online than anyone could consume in a lifetime.
I dont even watch twictch, but look how bent out of shape you are on this subject.
If sex scares you, idk what to say fam. Every animal, fungi, plant, etc all do it. Its ok if people are entertained by it.
You and 8 other people care very loudly, we get it.
