I’d say, Twitch is ever increasingly less and less about games and more and more is just becoming PornHub. So, it’s ripe for child exploitation (teenagers) and potentially could scare away advertisers.

Why are people so bothered by bare skin?

Just Chatting has been the dominant category for a very long time. Justin.tv was used for the creator to stream his daily life. This isn’t anything new.

Because American puritanical culture has conditioned people to see it as taboo… it’s a lot different in the rest of the world.

It’s funny how defederating a lemmy instance based on ideological differences is community guidlines this, content moderation that, but twitch enforcing a moderation policy is a puritanical america problem. :D
There’s nothing wrong with porn, but there are plenty of good, existing places to do it. This is just world politics vs. anime titties all over again.

Can you elaborate on that politics vs anime thing?

The mods in the world politics subreddit got lazy and stopped doing their jobs, so people started posting porn there in protest. The hive mind did as the hive mind does, and, inspired by the Trees/Marijuana Enthusiasts thing, someone created a subreddit called Anime Titties in order to talk about world politics.

I don’t know the background of exactly how it happened, but on Reddit there’s a subreddit called anime_titties that is actually about world politics.

Nah I wouldn’t say it is different in the rest of the world. Yes, open minded people everywhere don’t get bothered by bare skin in a lot of situations, but there are also a lot of people that perceive it as a taboo. Besides that, a lot of people that okay with bare skin on many contexts, there are still many of them that don’t expect or want a bare skin to be a factor in a lot of others, varying by individuals.
For example, I wouldn’t mind bare skin and varying degrees of intimacy in a lot of entertainment media, but still I would expect this to me a non-factor in the indicator of quality in most of them. For twitch, a platform that has come about and widely known as a gaming streaming site, I would expect the key performance indicators of content creators to be their gaming skills and gaming related entertainment value, not their bare skin. Alas all of us know that bare skin would definitely be a factor in the KPI of content creators because also sex sells, but I’m not going to Twitch to purchase sex.

The amount of movies marked R in America that get PG ratings in Europe and other places in the world because they show nudity is rather high.
First one to come to mind is Amelie. It’s R, restricted to adults only like porn in the US, South-Korea and Malaysia, but 7 in Sweden, 11 in Finland, G (suitable for all ages) in Japan and so on.

Because everyone is trying to use sexy/sexuality to sell their crap and I’m absolutely tired of it.

Literally what is wrong with that

One thing is wrong is that this site accumulated alot of children auditory with fortnite and Minecraft streams and then allowed nudity
mojo@lemm.ee 6 months ago
If you’ve seen the just chatting category, this is nothing new. People have been skirting ToS since the beginning. That’s why there’s an option to allow mature audiences or not, although it could be a lot more granular since mature language is basically on the same maturity as full blown nudity according to the option.

Don’t watch it then? 🤷
