    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.

        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 have an unused twitch account that I used to watch league of legends on in the mid 2010s. I logged in the other day for the first time in years, and the top stream was titled “NAKED JUMPING JACKS IN SHOWER” and had a nude girl taking a shower. A ton of the other recommendations were the same.

          People don’t have to search these streams out, whatever recommendation algorithms they use are recommending them to people who have only used twitch to stream games.

          Imo twitch is a website for game streaming, there are plenty of other sites for sexual content.

          You could make similar arguments about gambling being a moral panic and they shouldn’t ban that on the site. Selling sex to kids is just as exploitive and repugnant. Maybe selling violence to them is too. You’ll eventually find a line to draw for something being a vice, even if you don’t think this is it.

            Selling sex to kids is just as exploitive and repugnant.

            Why are we nuking implied nudity entirely off a website to solve a different problem, i.e. kids having access to their parents’ credit cards?

      But video games where you violently kill people? 100% cool and good.

    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
