Sexism is an issue with gaming for sure but banning nudity is not sexism.

It is if women’s nipples are nudity but men’s nipples are not.

Why not have a “no nipples” policy in general? I’m guessing that if parents think that their 7 year olds are going on Twitch to see boobs, they could lose some viewers.
But yes, policies should be applied equally.
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Because having a no nipples policy is a stupid way to live your life. Free your nipples.

I’d rather not show you my nipples.
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is not about women being free to go shirtless which is fair, this about eyeballs and ads. This lazy sex work. This corporate giants profiteering. This about that corporate giants maintaining brand image control. Reducing it to a slogan is missing the rest of the picture.

Free the nipple

I agree with you but this is more of a societal issue and not necessarily a Twitch issue. I think twitch following the standards set by society was reasonable however them pushing to improve upon those is absolutely welcome.
Chriswild@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I disagree. At one point in time it was society saying black people couldn’t eat with white people and it was people and companies willing to push that boundary that changed this.
We are all members of society and it is on us to constantly push back against the unfair traditions in our community.

Did you just equate Jim Crow with not being able to see titties on a mainstream streaming site?
You know you can see titties on other streaming sites, right?
Grimy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Bad take in my opinion. It’s quite clear the difference between the two in our society.
OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Wait a minute could our society be sexist?
WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Maybe, maybe not, that really makes no difference here
Signtist@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Yeah, but that difference is specifically rooted in sexism and misogyny. The very fact that we can all see the difference that isn’t much of a difference shows that there’s a divide that needs to be bridged. We only think women’s nipples are inappropriate because we were taught to. Plenty of cultures around the world don’t see breasts as inappropriate, and they’re doing just fine.
tory@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, but you’re not going to stop people from getting horny when looking at breasts no matter how much you educate them. So idk what your goal is.
Chriswild@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That doesn’t mean society isn’t sexist. There’s lots of bullshit society is sexist about like how men can’t be loving and affectionate parents.
Gljvf@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Or how you can mutilate male sexual organs for profit but can’t do so to female sexual organs

Society also says a kilt and a plaid skirt are two different things. Yet my Scottish roommate wore a plaid skirt from Zara to a party and no one batted an eye.
Free the balls, man.

There are literal sex differences between men and women. If we’re including those in the definition of sexism, we cheapen the word.
Chriswild@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You should apply for the fantastic four with that much stretch. There’s fucking nipples and we literally stick them in the mouths of our infants. You know damn well that we’re not talking about the differences between men and women but the way society and twitch threats people differently.
Even men who present as women on twitch have seen this. Finnster has had bans for shit nobody would care about if he weren’t so feminine looking.
prunerye@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Yes, we’re talking about the way society and twitch treats people differently… on the basis of physical sexual characteristics expressly regarding the topic of physical sexual characteristics. I’ve never used Twitch, but unless there’s something I’m supposed to be reading inbetween the lines, I don’t see the problem with banning female nipples. If society is going to have any standards on the rejection of nudity, I don’t see why the line has to be drawn somewhere before nipples and no further.
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Show of hands, how many here have jerked it to male nipples?
starman2112@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Some people have jerked it to fully clothed women. Ought we ban every woman from twitch? Maybe enforce hijabs?
grayman@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Too sexy, must enforce nikabs!
Keep it flaccid or we’re going full burka!

No, that’s literally how the laws in most countries work. It turns out men and women have different biology.
