    Sexism is an issue with gaming for sure but banning nudity is not sexism.

        Bad take in my opinion. It’s quite clear the difference between the two in our society.

          That doesn’t mean society isn’t sexist. There’s lots of bullshit society is sexist about like how men can’t be loving and affectionate parents.

          Some people have jerked it to fully clothed women. Ought we ban every woman from twitch? Maybe enforce hijabs?

    Why is twitch becoming a cam soft porn site? It was supposed to be about gaming. I just want to watch people play games.

      You’re in luck! There are millions of people playing games on Twitch. Who knew?

      goes on Twitch

      finds game

      watches someone play it

      At some point in there I completely ignored all the discount OnlyFans over on IRL and Just Chatting tags.

      That said: An opt-in with specific categories would halt a lot of the people complaining. Been awhile since I’ve dug into websites design, though thay shouldn’t be too difficult to implement, especially as they already have tags.

    I’m gonna get downvoted, but this culture where teenagers can form parasocial relationships with what are essentially softcore pornstars and a culture where women can very easily become pornstars isn’t healthy.
