Geez, the fuck’s going on over there?

I don’t think anyone minds artistic nude or even full on porn, assuming there’s reasonable legal protections to keep underage kids away.

As we saw in the two days the former policy was in place, there are/were not.

Also, Twitch is meant to be a gaming-centric streaming platform, not OnlyFans 2.0. There are a million other sites on the internet to find porn, let Twitch be what it's supposed to be.

Thank you! I feel like the plot was getting lost here debating the morality of nudity while ignoring that the site is a gaming streaming service.

Nudity/porn doesn’t bother me at all but the moment twitch becomes widely associated with it is the beginning of the end. Parents will think twice about allowing kids into the service, brand equity suffers, other services start up that allow for safer spaces and eventually, as you said, twitch risks being considered OF 2.0.

I remember seeing all types of strange porn there.

[–] mmagod@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was the first place I saw the video of the one lady slingshotting horse chestnuts into another lady’s anus.
