I am so tired of this puritanical bullshit.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago

After some reflection and actually looking for this content on Twitch, as well as from other commenters, I am retracting what I said. It's not at all puritanical, it is simply the wrong platform for this content type. I didn't realize how far it was going on Twitch. Sorry for the knee-jerk reaction to something I didn't fully understand.

Kudos on putting in the work. It's comments like this that show why the fediverse is better that the rest.

It not puritanical it s juste Twitch trying to not be a strip club

Seems like quite a few people want this not for puritanical reasons, but because it distracts from the actual content they want to see. There are plenty of places to see half naked women on the internet. Not to mention, women who want to stream and don't want to feel pressured to take off their clothes want these rules.

Twitch seems to be the only one with this problem. Like they keep playing wackamole with rules?

Where other social media sites just have more vague banning, but at least it doesn't deal with this.

their global mods and admins love watching these streams, until some higher up notices and drops the hammer lol

Twitch: "We're going to pay you to stream."

Also Twitch: "No, not like that, or that, or that, or that, or that..."

If their model was simply, "were going to pay you to stream," then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.

They don't want that. It's their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.

The "why" doesn't even matter. Maybe it's run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don't want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn't. It doesn't matter. It's their property and they decide what's allowed.

I think a lot of people are under the false impression that when a private entity becomes ubiquitous enough it somehow magically becomes a public service, because I keep seeing them spout first amendment claims whenever someone gets banned or demonetized off youtube ...

Hey can we find a way to power the grid with horny teenagers maybe?

AI powered girlfriends encouraging them to pedal harder, it's the green energy of the future.

“Our goal, always, is to make Twitch a welcoming place,”

Except for titty and ass streamers, your kind isn't welcome here
