    If it’s labeled as adult it’s not the streamer’s responsibility to keep children from watching.

    And content targeting adults has a very clear right to exist whether Twitch decides they want to host it or not.

        It literally doesn’t matter.

        There would be nothing wrong with dudes clearly labeling swinging their dicks around as adult content. It isn’t their responsibility to control how twitch handles adult content.

          That comparison would only make sense if that was happening, which it isn’t.

          Twitch has been essentially a soft core version of these girls’ only fans for a while now, and their adult content has been put in front of children, unconsentually.

          Ffs, these changes are to help stop the blatantly sexual thumbnails from being shown on the front page

          And yea, twitch knows they bring in money and so won’t do anything to stop them, but this will make the whole “protect the children” thing 10x worse, as twitch actively targets younger viewers and so do these adult “performers”

            This rule was an attempt to make it more clearly labeled, so yes, it’s exactly what it’s about.

            It absolutely has every right to exist.

                You’re attacking their effort to formally label it without punishing it.

                Thinking it doesn’t deserve to exist is the only possible cause for that.

                  Or, just maaaaybe, it deserves to be in its own space, away from children, and these labels are only going to help with the appearance of that, and not the actual issue

                  You’re strawmanning drying to defend this, and I don’t understand why you’re triggered so hard

                    “It can exist, but not here” by monopolies is by far the most effective method of censorship available in the modern era.

                    Megalithic companies like payment processors and Twitch should straight up not be permitted to ban classes of content.
