I can’t wrap my head around this point of view, could you help?
Why is this asking to be regulated just because of kids? They are also on lemmy, reddit, twitter, youtube, etc so why not shut the internet down to shield them from seeing boobs or whatever. Why should this not be on the parents?
It wouldn’t be as much as a problem if it was tucked away somewhere in Twitch, but these nudity streams will be broadcast to the front page. Kids can find whatever they want, sure, but that doesn’t mean we should be sticking it in their faces when they come to a traditionally non-porn livestreaming platform. If they come to watch some people play games, they are going to be met with tits completely out of the blue. It is an issue, the excuse ‘but kids can go watch porn anyway’ doesn’t cut it, because they weren’t even supposed to be looking for porn in this instance.
Do parents just ban them from using Twitch? Or should Twitch have better systems in place to make it harder for kids to stumble across porn?

That is not the case though
Streams that are labeled as including Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use; Violent and Graphic Depictions; Gambling; and/or Sexual Themes will no longer be included in homepage recommendations shelves due to the visual nature of those topics.

This seems poorly thought out, there are kids on twitch. This is just asking to be regulated.

The stream visibility is impacted by the labels used, so no, it won’t be front and center.

Yes 100% yes. If you catch your kid watching hot tub streamers you should ban them from using twitch
“There are kids on the internet!”
On one hand you’re right, on the other Twitter still isn’t regulated either, and there are kids everywhere.
