There are a million sites one can go for camgirls and strip teases, and Twitch shouldn't be one of them. It's a site about gaming streams. The only reason Twitch did this in the first place is to try and save face when people accused them of disproportionately banning female streamers. It was a bad move from the start.
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.
Context matters.
