Twitch Updated their Sexual Content Policy:
- Changes: Certain content now allowed with labels
- Artistic Nudity: Permitted under Sexual Themes Label
- Game Nudity: Contextual; labels necessary
- Body Painting: Acceptable with appropriate label
- Mature Games: Label generally covers content
- Stream Visibility: Impacted by content labels
- Twerking, grinding and pole dancing are now allowed without a label.
Porn is artistic nudity.
How do I apply for this job to determine who is an artist and who isn’t? I have years of experience. 🤵♂️
Decorative urns. If it has an urn in the background then it’s art.
It might be a stupid answer but it solves the ambiguity for them.
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.
Twitch is Amazon. They should just buy Chaturbate
Imagine the sign-in page:
⬛ Create an account
✅ Fuck it, use my Twitch account
Fuck yeah I’m using my twitch account. Because you know that there are going to be drops-enabled streams
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.

Probably in the single digits since at this point nobody actually expects twitch to treat the rules as if they evenly apply to everyone
But Yandere Sim is still banned.
It eternally amuses me that it’s on the banned games list. Like yeah, it’s a shit game, but looking at the rest of the list (and games that aren’t banned, for that matter), it’s absurdly mild.
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?
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.
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.
The thing is, teens with accounts set to 18+ do access twitch. And they are going to be diverted there more and more which can draw viewers away from genuine streamers who are just gaming.
A hear a bag of cookies calling your name
Gotta compete with kick
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?

there is a lot of afaik mostly female streamers, where the game content is secondary to them always being dressed and acting sexualized.
Heck, I’d say if they are actually playing a game and streaming it, then that’s legit… but I can tell you that I’ve seen a lot of “stretching” and “exercise” streams where it’s basically just strategic shots of a girl’s arse. As in, that is genuinely the purpose of the stream. There is no actual exercise happening. Some streamers even have “!phub” in their description, suggesting users type that for more info about the streamer… And the ASMR category seems to be a 25-75 split between people actually trying to do ASMR, and people doing a kind of soft-core porn show.
The worst thing is that if you watch one of those streams, for curiosity, or if you were just in the mood for it, Twitch then makes your recommendations look like a porn site for the next couple of months. (I’m not against porn; but I definitely don’t want to be getting porn recommendations when I go to twitch.)
You can watch in a private session and it won’t affect your front page, I do this if I ever want to watch a video containing an idiot like Joe Rogan or something who’ll get me flooded with right wing junk.
Oh God now my YouTube is going to be full of weird zoomers talking over Minecraft about oddly Puritanical nonsence and misogynistic bullshit covered in a thin veil of pseudo-woke word salad.
It’s even worse when it’s the anti-wokes doing it, pretend to care about the moral cohesion of society just so they can be angry that women are making money.
I think it’s great that tech companies are starting to relax on their puritanism, maybe they’ll stop being so heavy handed in moderating other content too or at least provide a space for it
Other policies that were once prohibited and are now allowed with a label include “fictionalized …fully exposed female-presenting breasts and/or genitals or buttocks regardless of gender,” “body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks regardless of gender,” and “erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as strip teases.”
They’re really going all in on this
Doesn’t this pretty clearly allow Vtubers to get as horny as they want? Their avatars are all fictionalized, but that feels like it’s going really far over the line of what Twitch used to be.
Does that mean I can finally stream HuniePop on there now?
What, you think the dunces that run twitch are actually going to bother updating the banned game list? We all know that the only reason they changed the rules is to avoid punishing the streamers they’ve shown brazen favoratism towards for years.
Me thinks its time to delete twitch account
