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.

3; 2 didn’t have body models, only 2D faces (and event artwork, but there was no nudity in that).

3 has full 3D body models, which are used for events, court, and so on, and it’s not unusual to encounter characters (often your own) who prefer to be in the buff, for religious or cultural reasons or due to specific events, traits, or bugs.

The art isn’t suggestive in any way either, yet streamers were still worried about getting strikes because of it. So I’m glad the rule is loosened up a bit for that reason, not as happy about the non-gaming applications though (that should be on a separate sister-site; maybe social.twitch.tv or sexy.twitch.tv).
