This has never been correct, it isn’t an acronym, it’s a prefix. Metagaming is the art of learning how players typically play a game and has been a concept for a long time. The etymology is simple, the greek “Meta-” meaning beyond and “metagame” referring to the way people play a game developing alongside a game. Look at dota 2, the metagame shifts in large ways when the map does not relatively frequently. When we talk about metagaming in card games, it’s in reference to which cards see the most play regardless of their impact on the game.
These comments are wild and mostly sexist as fuck.
If you have kids and you give them complete unfettered access to the web I’m sure they have seen more than a boob. If that bothers you perhaps try being a parent. Maybe getting involved with your child’s online activity. Maybe don’t use the Internet as a fucking babysitter.
Hell if you want to use the internet as a babysitter all you have to do is install one of the many commercially available parental control blockers. Obviously it would be better to actually be engaged in a child’s life, but if that’s not an option for you then there is software that can help.
I have absolutely no idea how effective it is of course but I’m sure there are reviews online.
I absolutely agree. I’m a parent and I’ll never install a content filter. Ever.
I prefer to operate on trust. My kids tell me what they want to look at, I agree to it, then I unlock the computer to they can access it. If they access anything else, they lose that privilege until I’m confident they’ve learned their lesson and we try again. Rinse and repeat.
Trust is earned, and I hope by the time they’re old enough to be interested in boobs, they’ll value that trust. That worked reasonably well for me.
With a content filter, you’re immediately telling the child you don’t trust them, so they’re going to circumvent it, or just use their friend’s computer. I’d much rather they look at porn on my computer than their friend’s, because I can find out about it if it’s on my computer, whereas I can’t if it’s at a friend’s house. And if they’re interested in porn, that probably means they’re interested in sex, which means we need to discuss it to build that trust before they go out and have unprotected sex. If they’re watching overly violent stuff or whatever, they’re probably talking about that kind of thing with friends and I may need to be careful about who I let them spend time with (or notify the other kids’ parents). And so on.
Content filters hide the problem, I’d much rather confront it head on.
Isn’t the main issue not so much what they will show, but what gets monetized or not? There is always going to be a disconnect with this stuff because twitch wants the content that goes viral to be advertiser friendly.
I’m troubled by the term “artistic”. Who on earth is deciding what is and isn’t art?
Seems like an ethical quagmire that’s not really worth their time to be wading into, but they seem to be doing so. Perhaps they haven’t thought all the implications through.
I do not understand why they don’t straight up just make a 18 plus tab and be done with it. Why do they seem to have this moral objection to how they make money? After all I am damn sure the shareholders won’t care.
Hmm… I think what determines nudity to be artistic instead of porn is the presence of urns. Yes, if there’s an urn you can immediately tell it’s intended artistically.
Add this with AI being used to generate nude photos from images of people and they’re just setting themselves up for a ton of legal ramifications not to mention serious ethical ones.
It basically means trend. It’s sorta evolved from the concept of “metagaming” where you’re not just playing the game, you’re gaming the game. People now use “the meta” to refer to the collection of viable strategies for a game, and “the current meta” to refer to what is popular at this moment. This could be types of decks in a card game, character builds in an MMO or a MOBA, or other things like that. Presumably, for twitch, “the meta” is referring to not strategies of playing games, but strategies of gaming twitch. In other words, strategies to maximize viewership and income, and specifically, what is working at any given time.
I’ve seen some people debate whether “meta” means “applying a concept to itself” or “most effective tactic available”. In gaming, both kind of make sense. But in the context of business models for twitch streams, only the second definition works. (even though it originated from the word “metagame”, where “meta” wasn’t an acronym)
Mm, I think the first also works. Because the meta of twitch requires a shift in thinking from “I am doing a thing, that happens to be on the platform twitch” into “how does the platform of twitch work as a platform, and what actions can I take to manipulate the platform to do what I want it to do.”
Shifts of not only content you like to make -> content that gets max views, but also making content when its convenient -> make content during specific peak hours, etc.
This is also what metadata is. Data about data. Not whats inside a file, but the files name, date it was created, created by whom, accessed when, etc. You can also have metadata about metadata, which itself is just metadata.
oh haha. well that does sound viral, but how was that not banned? don’t people get their streams removed for stuff like that? I gotta be honest, I hate twitch lol so I have no idea about any of it.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
How do I apply for this job to determine who is an artist and who isn’t? I have years of experience. 🤵♂️
Decorative urns. If it has an urn in the background then it’s art.
It might be a stupid answer but it solves the ambiguity for them.
Nobody is not an artist
Already furries are live streaming drawing giant cocks lmao
That explains why cats can be dicks.
some horny c**t will crop that
caat
The fuck is a meta?
“most effective tactic available”

Sure but it’s still a pretty apt description and acronyms are fun
Whatever the specific community currently agrees is the best method for success, like strategies for video games, gimmicks for social media, etc.

Twitches rating on andriod play is 14 amd up. Woth nudity now allowed it should be 18 and up.
Hell if you want to use the internet as a babysitter all you have to do is install one of the many commercially available parental control blockers. Obviously it would be better to actually be engaged in a child’s life, but if that’s not an option for you then there is software that can help.

Twitch is rated 14 and up so parental controls won’t really block it on its own. Unless you have the child listed under 14
Awful idea. I had a friend with helicopter parents that did this, and it honestly sucked for the both of us because of how much was blocked.
I absolutely agree. I’m a parent and I’ll never install a content filter. Ever.

The twitch topless meta is just lofi burlesque to chill/study to
So… If I’m commissioned to draw furry smut, does that mean I can stream that to Twitch now?

Sounds like artistic nudity to me

You’re getting down voted because tiddies
So if I paint my cock I’m good, right?
deleted by creator
It needs to be visible…
Yeah, get that paint out of here!
So using the cock as the brush is the way to go, got it
Art nudity. So creating art with your nudity.
Twitch has been downhill since Justin.tv shut down. Nothing they do surprises me anymore.
Huh. This doesn’t affect me in the slightest. Even if I used the site, it wouldn’t.
6 to worry about something more important, like organizing my sock drawer.
As if there weren’t already enough simps.
Simpyness intensifies!!!
What a time to be a cam girl
WHO GIVES A FUCK??? This is a games sub not an Amazon/twitch policy review sub. Jesus fucking Christ
I’m confused, what does “meta” mean in this context?
It basically means trend. It’s sorta evolved from the concept of “metagaming” where you’re not just playing the game, you’re gaming the game. People now use “the meta” to refer to the collection of viable strategies for a game, and “the current meta” to refer to what is popular at this moment.

Slap this right into Urban Dictionary. Great explainer.
This is also what metadata is. Data about data. Not whats inside a file, but the files name, date it was created, created by whom, accessed when, etc. You can also have metadata about metadata, which itself is just metadata.
Its data all the way down.
lol and I understood the meta part but have no clue what the viral topless part means.
There are many top streams that are just women with just the nipples covered writing donors names on their body
oh haha. well that does sound viral, but how was that not banned? don’t people get their streams removed for stuff like that? I gotta be honest, I hate twitch lol so I have no idea about any of it.
