Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy::Twitch has rolled back the artistic nudity portion of its sexual policy that allowed previously prohibited forms of sexual content.
Ye good ole marketer’s leverage. Some ancient geezer at Amazon snorted “ad revenue” in it’s short breathed slumber and everyone on Twitch trembled.
Well that was fast
Yes, because it was just going to turn into pornhub v2.
It pretty much did within minutes LMAO
Go check Livestream fail for clips of the hilarity
Is that a Lemmy community… ?
TLDW?
What is that
Interested but actually not enough to be bothered checking for myself…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mere days after Twitch updated its content policy to permit certain kinds of sexual content, the platform has withdrawn the portion of the policy permitting “artistic nudity.”
“Effective today, we are rolling back the artistic nudity changes,” the update read.
“Moving forward, depictions of real or fictional nudity won’t be allowed on Twitch, regardless of the medium.” Mature-rated games will not be affected by the rollback and subject to the new policy.
Today however, Twitch said it is withdrawing specifically the part of the content policy that allowed “artistic nudity.”
The specific callout of AI seems to be related to the concern that the new artistic nudity policy might enable artists and other streamers to create and display AI-generated “deepfakes” passed off as permitted art.
Twitch’s initial update recognized the artist community on the platform and how previous sexual content policies were “overly punitive.” However, after the changes, it seemed like some streamers took advantage of the new policy to contravene that spirit with activities like using fully nude avatars or stream overlays featuring nude drawings.
The original article contains 303 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 42%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
How is this enshitification? They changed a policy and then reversed the change. So there has been exactly no change.
Buzzwords are cool?
It’s not. I think I’ve encountered maybe one person that uses that word correctly (and to be frank, it’s a really dumb word for what it’s supposed to mean). Literally everyone else just uses it because it has the word ‘shit’ in it.
They banned a lot of artist who thought they finally don’t have to worry about hiding their layers when drawing…
Reshitification
Ok, well, I wasn’t missing anything before Twitch’s nudity policy change, and I’m definitely not missing anything after it reverted, so I’m guessing in that small window it wasn’t worth my time either?
Have they hire Elon Must at twitch?

Bezos made a show where a little man ran up a big man’s dick hole and blew up, a little artist nudity should be nothing.

There are a million sites one can go for camgirls and strip teases, and Twitch shouldn’t be one of them. It’s a site about gaming streams. The only reason Twitch did this in the first place is to try and save face when people accused them of disproportionately banning female streamers.

Dunno, I’ve been using twitch since it was Justintv, it used to be a site about pay per view streams, free satellite TV and sometimes porn.

Which is not “artistic nudity”. Unless you are one of those loonies who protests outside of museums.
Rather than actually moderate the people abusing it because GASP women might wear something other than a burka*, it just became a blanket ban like it used to be. Except video games still get the exception because God specifically wrote on the ten commandments that we are allowed to see dick and titties in a GTA but can never see one in a painting.
*: Seriously. How do those fucks survive walking down the street? Let alone going to a beach

There is nothing wrong with nudity.
People clutching their pearls about it is the problem.
