Correction, ‘the degree to which humans are terrified of the outer layer of their bodies is ridiculous’
Blood. Guts, and brain matter are a Saturday staple in America, but keep those nipples (of the female variety, male nips are mmm-hmm a-okay) hidden.
TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social 10 months ago
To be fair, if somebody starts streaming without their skin on I'm going to nope the fuck out really quick.
gregorum@lemm.ee 10 months ago
lol, fair point
aelwero@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Whatya mean? You can twitch combat games all day that show every component of the human body flying through the air, appendages, intestines, no problem. Just gotta make sure there’s no nipples rendered on the flying parts…
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
No female nipples. Bare male chests are perfectly fine.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Meh. Advertising is. They just don’t want to become butthole Oreos.
shadearg@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Buttholes are Leather Oreos, and they can’t take that away from us.

It’s highly country specific… America’s puritanical roots seem to still hold sway. Go to Western Europe and nudity is commonplace

Meh, we’ve been negatively influenced by the puritans I’m afraid.

Pretend for a moment we live in a world where sex occurs as commonly as a handshake or a hug. In this world sex is everywhere. You grow up and see your parents have sex openly perhaps hundreds of times. When you go to your friend’s house you see their parents doing the deed. You and your friend even did it a few times.
Perhaps a half dozen times you see grandma and grandpa doing it after thanksgiving dinner. No big deal, you’ve seen it so many times now, you barely even look. There is sex in clubs, sex in a city bus, sex at lunch at offices. But amazingly no sex in bathroom stalls or rest areas, or dirty hotels, what few that even exist in this world.
You personally have sex maybe 20 times with various peers before you reach your 18th birthday. You struggle to even remember. You lost count a while ago because it is honestly like the question “how many times did you have eggs for breakfast.” By the time you reach your thirties it’s anyone’s guess.
This is the world where no one would care about implied nudity or even full on sex on Twitch. And forget about the taboo-driven sex addictions that are problems. We’d have other taboos, sure, but they wouldn’t be about sex.
xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 10 months ago
Nudity does not equal sex. People could give up clothes completely and continue with their lives as normal and I bet there would not be any noticable uptick in sex. People have sex, usually in private, even if they would be straight up nudists.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
I can imagine it but what point are you trying to make here?
Zorque@kbin.social 10 months ago
Someone read the first chapter of "Brave New World" and thought it was a true indictment of modern culture.
gregorum@lemm.ee 10 months ago
nobody is advocating this, nor would this be necessary to address or to even reduce irrational/outmoded taboos surrounding nudity and sex.
going to all the trouble to illustrate such a bizarre extreme only proves the point that you’re willing to imagine such a thing out of fear rather than address the actual problem.

So I’m not the only one to have that idea cross their mind! Thank you sir, for making me feel less weird.
It would still feel strange to open twitch just to discover dozens of streamers shaking hands though.
SCB@lemmy.world 10 months ago

ShepherdPie@midwest.social 10 months ago
I think it’s less about the nudity and more about the sexualization. People are trying to replicate an OnlyFans account on a platform designed for kids, which is where people take issue. Considering streaming is so competitive, they’re trying to stand out from the crowd by getting as close to porn as they can.
yamanii@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What do you mean for kids? You can play Mortal Kombat 1 fine on twitch.
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Ok so hide it behind a mature content wall. Oh wait it already is.
SCB@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They’re not replicating OF, their advertising their OF, and there’s nothing about twitch or these streams that explicitly advertises to children.
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m not terrified of my body. I’m terrified of my aunt Roxy’s body. I also don’t want any children to see what I saw that one desolate evening. It’s probably also good not to let young girl’s minds dwell on the concept of being a bimbo streamer while they’re supposed to be learning in school.
FunkyMonk@kbin.social 10 months ago
Whats ridiculous is your body can just NOPE NOT GOING TO BE A BODY GOING TO BE CANCER. Wait what were we talking about? Exestential feelings of death barbie?

Tekchip@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hole up! Doesn’t the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn’t thought that through all the way.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I bet you are naked under those pants, you slut.
hamsterkill@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.
yuki2501@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They just got pissed at people using censor bars on themselves to make it look like they were naked (in protest for Twitch backing down on their nudity policy).
Yes, it’s a salty move, and yes, they’re being assholes about it.
criticalthreshold@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The thots are assholes right?
Because twitch is a gaming platform, not a PG-13 Onlyfans advertisement platform.
Or is it?
M137@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve never used Twitch and never tried to keep up to date with anything related, but new about it are hard to miss. And from just my barely surface level exposure to it, it’s so weird. It seems like they completely switch from “we will allow nudity and even take steps to make it a thing on our platform” to “absolutely no nudity and everyone that tries till get banned”.
What the fuck is going on?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 months ago
It’s hard because they want the cut they get of horny donations but they don’t want to be a sex site.
Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My theory is that they’re trying to find the perfect mix of horny gamers shelling out for bits and subs while staying just within the bounds of what advertisers will allow.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 months ago

answersplease77@lemmy.world 10 months ago
there was this onlyfan streamer who kept blocking the view of her tits with her hand while pretending to do body art for 13 hrs straight. it was the most retarded shit ever
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Ok don’t watch it then
trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 10 months ago
Letting people twerk but not letting implied nudity indicates zero effective thought or principle on these actions.
Absolutely incompetent morons.
tuxtey@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Twerking is just aggressive ass dancing bro. The real danger is the potential of a possible idea or hint that someone is probably naked. And in order to prevent this, I here by recommend every streamer wears skin tight body suits. So we know for sure they aren’t naked.
trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 10 months ago
Intellectual dishonesty seems to be a specialty online.
It’s sexual innuendo and very blatant at that.
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
One thing is easier to define than another.
trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 10 months ago
Twerking is mimicking cock riding as a form of dance.
I personally don’t care, the only thing I’m irritated with is their very clear reactionary responses to prudish morons and wholesale inconsistency and lack of principled stance.
Either let it all be allowed or don’t allow any of it.
This is getting to a point of extreme intellectual dishonesty.
pennomi@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We want Twitch to be a place where all communities feel welcome.
And in the same breath they ban certain community categories because you can see human bodies. This is not about making people feel welcome, it’s about controlling them, obviously.

Why softcore porn on Twitch? Seeing how Twitch is known for being a video game streaming site. Sorry but I already know the answer to my question. They will get more views and money on Twitch then on Chaturbate. The controversy they will get from doing it on Twitch. Will only help them not stop them.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 months ago

Not wrong though, the woman that started this implied nudity has an onlyfans.

Twitch users: how dare you force me to watch thirst trap content. I am completely in control of myself.
systemglitch@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think the problem was it was the first thing anyone logging into twitch saw.
I’m fine seeing nudity, but it’s also not what I want to see being promoted in my face when I’m logging in to watch a game. It’s not a good look.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think the CEO told a streamer recently in an interview that the problem is the thumbnails.

It’s already the degen gambler site, add in these streamers with their only fans in their linktree and it’s literally twitch but with blackjack and hookers lol
ahriboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Add ex-Twitch streamers causing public nuisance like Johnny Somali and Kick would be unsafe for everyone.
