Twitch has updated its guidelines on sexual content following mass outrage over a new 'topless' meta that gained popularity on the site.

Twitch Updated their Sexual Content Policy:

  • Changes: Certain content now allowed with labels
  • Artistic Nudity: Permitted under Sexual Themes Label
  • Game Nudity: Contextual; labels necessary
  • Body Painting: Acceptable with appropriate label
  • Mature Games: Label generally covers content
  • Stream Visibility: Impacted by content labels
  • Twerking, grinding and pole dancing are now allowed without a label.

Twitch was good when it was video games only, it really went downhill since Amazon bought it.

“[service] really went downhill since [tech conglomerate] bought it” could be a Mad Lib.

It was never video games only. My first introduction to Justin.tv was the fact that it had 24/7 Seinfeld streams.

You’ve got the history backwards. Twitch is just a spin-off of Justin.tv, rebranded.
