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.
If Twitch is a gaming platform, why is there a “Pools, workout and beaches” category? 99% of streams there are hot babes in bikinis, with some linking to their OF accounts in their profile. And then there’s the fashion show with models in skin tape that most of the time only covers the crotch and nips.
Now, I’m not against streamers showing skin; Twitch can definitely open an “After Dark” section only available to adults and still forbid explicit or simulated sex. But the way all this fiasco took place screams bad management to me.
I’ve never used Twitch and never tried to keep up to date with anything related, but news about it are hard to miss nowadays. And from just my barely surface level exposure to it, it’s so weird. It seems like they completely switch every few months or weeks 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”.
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.
I swear everytime Twitch updates their policies for clarity, they just get even more confusing.

The thots are assholes right?
Because twitch is a gaming platform, not a PG-13 Onlyfans advertisement platform.
Or is it?
Who cares? Twitch should just give a way to hide these kind of streams for users who dont want to see them.
Because the platform is a gaming and gamer-social platform.
Nothing wrong with nudity, just find the appropriate platform for it, not a gaming one.

What the fuck is going on?
It’s hard because they want the cut they get of horny donations but they don’t want to be a sex site.
