We now allow tits because we realize they make us a lot of money

Silly to have banned nudity in the first place, really

Considering what twitch was and where it came from, I don't think it was

So that turned out to be a big lie. Many streamers were banned yesterday for things that were specifically allowed under the new rules, and now those rules have been reverted.

How is banning nudity sexist? I can see if they would allow guys to go topless, but not girls. That could be argued. But just because more women on twitch are making money off their bodies than men, doesn't mean that banning nudity is sexist. Am I overlooking something?

For example: "Body writing on female-presenting breasts" was forbidden, while there was no such rule for "male-presenting breasts". There were other such rules that only affected "female-presenting whatever" with no "male presenting" counterpart.

I mean men don't have breasts, there probably also isn't a rule bannin women from showing their balls

You're clearly not a man-tiddy appreciator.

I won't be surprised if they have to make such rule soon or at some point

Nope. I didn't know. I don't see it as a bad thing though. It's more a critisism of Twitch having to make up rules all the time just to validate their approach to streaming. I've been against all forms of sexualised or sexually suggestive content on twitch ever since the first hottub meta. It's not that I am against it. They could have porn of they wanted. My issue is, that they argue it's not sexual when it clearly is.

How do they detect nudity? Seems likely the AI has a higher false positive rate for women given the training dataset
