I wonder how many non-nsfw streamers are rejoicing because they no longer have to be paranoid about modded games and nudity. Prior to twitch relaxing rules regarding nudity, you could get banned for a split second of nudity in a modded game, and official nudity/sex scenes in M-rated games were playing with fire (technically allowed, but up to an admin's discretion if you were trying to "stream porn" or just playing the game as intended). At least I'm assuming these new rules will include further relaxing the game content rules. It wouldn't make sense to allow full "artistic nudity" if you're still banning streamers because of a few frames of modded tiddy.
The term for non-NSFW is SFW.
I remember watching a streamer do a nudist run in. CK2 or CK3 (forget which), and they were super nervous about what might show up on screen on accident.
Imo, that's just ridiculous, so I'm glad they have relaxed the rules a bit. That said, I'm also sad that Twitch is courting so much non-gaming content, they really should just have that under a different brand. Maybe labels will help, but I really don't want to have to wade through so much non-gaming stuff to find a new streamer to watch.
3; 2 didn't have body models, only 2D faces (and event artwork, but there was no nudity in that).
3 has full 3D body models, which are used for events, court, and so on, and it's not unusual to encounter characters (often your own) who prefer to be in the buff, for religious or cultural reasons or due to specific events, traits, or bugs.
The art isn't suggestive in any way either, yet streamers were still worried about getting strikes because of it. So I'm glad the rule is loosened up a bit for that reason, not as happy about the non-gaming applications though (that should be on a separate sister-site; maybe social.twitch.tv or sexy.twitch.tv).
Probably in the single digits since at this point nobody actually expects twitch to treat the rules as if they evenly apply to everyone
