It's best if you imagine Twitch's latest rules update being read by a downtrodden, barely present spokesperson.

"Content on Twitch is always evolving," they mutter, unable to recall how many versions of that statement they've composed before. "And we want to make sure our rules work as intended and keep up with emerging behaviors."

The behavior that emerged this time is streaming games on butts. That is, using one's posterior like a green screen, overlaying a gameplay feed on it. (Or just pointing a camera at your butt.)

If streaming Fortnite on your butt or watching other people stream Fortnite on their butts is something you enjoy, you'd better get your butt streaming in soon, because this is one emergent behavior Twitch isn't going to let continue. On Friday, "content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time will not be allowed," the site announced.

Twitch has updated its sexual content guidelines with the new rule.

Twitch needs to stop pussyfooting around and just send these thots packing to MFC where they belong. Otherwise they're just going to be playing this stupid game of cat and mouse for as long as possible

It's basically softporn at this point

I fucking hate those streamers

WTF? Is this what kids are watching nowadays?

How does Twitch still don't get a legion of Karens descending on them? Ban streaming in underwear, problem solved. Tell all the smart asses they try to circumvent you ban their sorry ass for life. That will stop people "being creative".

Easier said then done.

On one hand Twitch wants these people as it draws viewers, so they cant go full ban hammer. They want a balance.

It's like hearing about the old Tommy Hilfiger days on their policy about theft. They let it some of it slide as having their stolen shirts and sweaters out there drew in more customers helping the brand in the long run.

Not gonna lie - Twitch all running around like its playing whack a mole with butts and boobs is hysterical.

 

[Kabelly]

I wanted to see what was all the hub bub was about a clicked on some random girls stream yesterday. There was her and then beside her was a screen with her ass i'm assuming. The funny thing was there was this mouse widget that was like a mallet and you could "spank" or hit the mallet on the ass when you clicked. Didn't realize how scandalous these streams were. Doesn't bother me. Get that bag girls.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

are you trying to summon someone?

 

[diffusionx]

Good, this shit is out of control. Young men should not be watching this garbage.

 

[PSYGN]

Lol, they won't even outright ban it by saying "prolonged amount of time"

 

[March Climber]

This tug of war will never end.

 

[Rawbutt Jellybean]

They do just enough to keep the advertisers happy but not so much that they lose the coomer money.

I had a butt stream once, but it's not something that I'd show on twitch.

 

[Audiophile]

Ngl, credit where credit's due. The butt green-screen is pretty creative..

 

[Chittagong]

I will have to investigate deeper before I can give a meaningful point of view to this phenomena. May take a while guys

 

[SmokedMeat]

Credit where credit is due; Streamers are more innovative than game developers.

 

[TransTrender]

Holy shit how embarrassing.
I get it that this stuff brings in money that floats the business, but what an unsavory product.

Are we praising Hitler for reducing Germany’s unemployment close to 0? Probably much greater benefit to society than butt streaming.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Good. Twitch is like porn for Mormons these days.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Transparent chairs lol

I don't know why but the stupidity of those words just makes me laugh.

 

[AJUMP23]

Twitch is going to kill their viewer numbers.


I had no idea this was a thing.

The problem is that they probably need every penny they can get.
Twitch has never been profitable so they can't afford to start kicking out these thots that probably bring in decent viewership and money.

If you are not profitable your business model is rubbish. I will always value a small SME more over a stupid startup unicorn that is losing money and only staying afloat due to VC money.

Pretty women in thongs sitting on see through chairs is not a rubbish business model!!!!!

As long as they wipe properly.

 

[Halo is Back]

Twitch should just become a porn/cam girl site. Stop dancing around the subject and just embrace the debauchery.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Came to post this.
Thank you.

We need to take a stance as a community. This is plainly unacceptable. No cap

That was Microsoft’s opinion on piracy back in the day. It’s making people familiar with their software.

Won't somebody please think of the butts?

(I certainly am)

Ur acting like twitch isn't owned by Amazon

 

[Solarstrike]

Twitch is mad they aren't profiting off it. Next they'll have a Adult's Only version of Twitch.

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean... its not difficult to see who keeps ruining the party at twitch, just grow some balls and ban them for good. This same woman has done this shit like what 3 times now.

She is going to keep pushing the system non stop. In any real world situation you would just get rid of this person.

[newtypepilot]

"for prolonged periods of time" that's totally not vague at all!

The thots will continue to push the boundaries because twitch is a great platform to promote their OFs, and doing these stunts only gives them even more exposure. The problem I have is Twitch just refuses to outright ban them, which would solve the problem entirely. Instead it has created arbitrary rules that look like they are doing something but it's really just safe spaces or loopholes for these thots to exploit, like calling body painting "art" or creating the hottub category.

If you have a OF and need to promote yourself, Twitch is great for reaching to those under 18 demographic.

Having a wealthy parent company doesn't mean you can just loose money indefinitely with no consequences

Saw those shitty recommendation yest and was sad ad fuck, is like there cannot be any quiet place without these thots around sexualizing everything :/

If the roles were reversed and men were exhibiting these sort of predatory behavior to lure young women, everyone would condemn them.

Even if the platform enables this stuff, the responsibility lies on these women.

I can assure you - no young women are going to be lured into anything by seeing some dude's big hairy nutsack getting panini-pressed against a sweaty plastic chair.

 

[Tams]

I don't really know what to say at this point other than to laugh. We truly are reaching a point of gross excess.

The main thing behind that is that most men... just don't care. We're not really sensitive or offended by it, and a considerable number of us like it (secretly or not).

If you want to put your T&A, and sometimes more, on public display around the world... errr... cool? I won't be putting my junk up, but that's my choice.

All of this should be in the adult realm though, even if adolescents will try their hardest to get into it.

 

[E-Cat]

Whatever happens, happens. The marketplace is always at an equilibrium. This is the human condition. It’s no more, or less, ”out of control” than anything else. All apropos of nothing

I know men don't care.
My issue is that these women are targeting children, twitch can only do so much.

Banning "content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time"

If it's being presented to millions of potential streamers, is the body part still "intimate"?
