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.
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.

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