Why are people so bothered by bare skin?
nevemsenki@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Because everyone is trying to use sexy/sexuality to sell their crap and I’m absolutely tired of it.

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.

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.
deafboy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

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.

Glad I’m not on twitch, or twitter, or instagram or TikTok…but what a time to be alive for camgirls and camboys and everything in between or outside of that.

No one has to watch the channels they don’t want to watch. Change the channel if you don’t like it. That’s why they’re called channels.
BURN@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They’re constantly popping up on the front page
They do say they’re changing that, so we’ll see if it goes away

Not a surprise. There were boobs being fully exposed and no effort to cover them.
DrMango@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I can pretty much guarantee that these streamers were all wearing some kind of strapless bra, halter, or pasties just out of view of the camera. Way safer than risking a nip slip resulting in a permaban

Twitch is stripchat, just simply as that. Any female model can just do live stream, promote their +18 Links, and be half naked 24/7 just to get donates and subs. And yes for most people this is fine, cause who cares if a kid will access hot tubs for example. Who cares if Twitch is promoting those +18 models, who cares? None, none, not even Twitch.
As we community we should hold guidelines, but guess what ? We can’t.
I’m on Twitch almost since it’s begging, Twitch was supposed to be SWF platform.

As long as they continue to reap their cut, they’ll gladly devolve into purple Chaturbate. Their only guiding principal is revenue.

Were you on Justin.TV?
notsorryforpartying@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Where exactly are these topless streams so I can make sure to uh… avoid them… in the future?
RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 11 months ago
If you have an account, just go to one of their channels one time. Twitch will never recommend anything else again.
…Okay, it will sometimes recommend other stuff but you’re never gonna be free of “thirst”-related content. Also, www.twitch.tv/…/pools-hot-tubs-and-beaches here’s the category you want
to avoid:PButtons@programming.dev 11 months ago
You can click the three dots on recommendations and there is a “not interested” option.
DanglingFury@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What is “thirst” in this context
BitingChaos@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They usually cover/conceal nipples, so you don’t see everything.
In the list of “games”, the top item is the “Just Talking” or whatever the category is called. Click that and try various sorting.
kyle@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Honestly you can probably scroll the front page and find them if they’re on, they’ll have a ton of viewers.
WildlyCanadian@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
This woman mentioned in the article, Morgpie, has quite a bit of content on Reddit and otherwise if you’re looking for some research material. She’s got some very high quality educational videos…

Open a new browser tab and navigate to Bing. Type “topless streams” into the search bar. Spend a brief moment being disappointed that it seems like there’s no topless streams on the internet. Then disable safe search and make sure you’re not connected to a Bluetooth speaker or Chromecasting your screen (actually should have done that before the search, but it’s too late, everyone knows you’re a porn-seeking pervert, so you might as well just reconnect that Bluetooth speaker).
