Just become a soft-core porn site at this point, Twitch.

🤔 In away they did that already with the new rules.

[–] Dirk_Darkly@sh.itjust.works 109 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It's hard to do that officially when a big chunk of users are minors. Neither Twitch nor the streamers of this content want to admit that they make money serving softcore porn to kids. Cause that'd be weird.

Amazon doing their own OnlyFans for minors. Who woulda thunk it.

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I remember being a minor before twitch. Watching porn on the internet wasn’t the task you’d think it was without twitch.

Will some streamers link their OnlyFans on Twitch with the help of third party apps, like Linktree. So they're half way there.

People in this thread really pretending they have kids in order to get upset about implied nudity. It does not get more american does it? Some chick showing lots of boobie sure seems to be the same like a girl getting banged by big dick to many here.

Also if you actually think that some nudity will wreck your kid but watching gta does not i am not sure why anyone bothers arguing with you.

[–] pulaskiwasright@lemmy.ml 46 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Manipulative, interactive sex workers are not the same as “nudity”.

I'm surprised how much pearl clutching there is in this thread. This seems like a good thing. It's all supposed to be clearly labeled, and if people want to watch streams with nudity, what's wrong with that?

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 83 points 10 months ago (5 children)

The twitch boob meta always fascinated me. It's literally trivial to not watch thirst streams if you don't like thirst streams. But people on the internet get so fucking upset about it, and I assume at least 100% of them consume actual porn.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago (25 children)

For me it's how popular and accessible twitch is for kids.

I've never really used twitch for anything except getting drops for games (160p and muted lol) but every time I see titty streamers getting recommended despite never watching any

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 39 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Everything on the internet is easily accessible by kids if the parents aren't doing any supervision.

The problem, at least to me, is the wildly inconsistent application of the rules. Plenty of streamers have gotten bans for inappropriate content for far, far less than this, and been told to shove it when they tried to appeal. I can guarantee you nobody would be up in arms over this if twitch just treated it as a free for all, and didn't care if people streamed tits. The problem is that it isn't, and lots of people get banned, while the big thirst streamers get given a free pass on everything

Also, If this goes through, the "banned games" list is going to need some real pruning.

It destroys the brand. The more nudity makes it on the site the more it changes the user base, advertisers change, the whole thing just takes a turn into something completely different

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.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago

The term for non-NSFW is SFW.

I mean hot tub streams already exist.

Twitch hasn’t been a “games only” site in a long time.

Yall know there's free porn on the internet right?

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think a large part of it is the parasocial aspect. People get to know streamers (or at least, the streamer’s persona) and form attachments to them over time. The same way someone wants to see how their favorite character’s arc plays out in a show, people want to watch streamers because they feel a personal connection to them.

Even though that connection is almost certainly one-sided, (except maybe for smaller streamers who actually interact with all of their viewers on a regular basis,) it doesn’t stop the viewers from forming those emotional connections. And that somehow makes them more “real” than some random piece of ass on pornhub.

I think a lot of it stems from loneliness, and wanting a personal connection. Pornhub is great for porn, but it’s undeniably commercialized porn. Lots of people will likely end up viewing nude twitch streams the same way they’d view nudes from a significant other. Even if the quality isn’t as good as pornhub, it may be considered more desirable simply because the viewers feel like they know the person.

Yea, sure, Twitch

They were just tired of fielding questions of why the camgirls were exempt from the rules everyone else was following. Now it's because it's "artistic".

A quarter of the way into the 21st century and we're still not sure if a website can be profitable if there's boobs.

This timeline is dumb as hell.

Viral topless "meta"??? I haven't heard about any topless meta. What have I been missing? The article only references a single instance in which a streamer got banned, and that hardly makes a meta. What has the Twitch streamer community response been?

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 28 points 10 months ago (3 children)

there is a lot of afaik mostly female streamers, where the game content is secondary to them always being dressed and acting sexualized.

Twitch was good when it was video games only, it really went downhill since Amazon bought it.

These comments are wild and mostly sexist as fuck.

If you have kids and you give them complete unfettered access to the web I'm sure they have seen more than a boob. If that bothers you perhaps try being a parent. Maybe getting involved with your child's online activity. Maybe don't use the Internet as a fucking babysitter.

I'm just happy they will now allow some games that weren't allowed for sexual themes before.

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (10 children)

I’m kinda surprised there’s no NSFW version of Twitch tbh, I’d imagine it would be the easiest pile of money if they could capitalize on how much porn these Twitch gals are doing as a separate brand or something.

EDIT: Should clarify, I meant an Amazon-owned NSFW Twitch using Twitch branding. I know cam sites exist and also got lucky on Omegle a few times.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Cam girl sites have been around for decades now..
