Oh no, almost visible tits!? Nono we can’t have that, it’ll morally bankrupt our audience.
Edit: apparently they’re more lenient as long as it is properly tagged. Nice.
My only issue is that kids use the platform a lot and shouldn’t be exposed to overly sexualised content when they’re just looking for gaming content. Twitch apparently says they’ll try to remove it from the front page but stuff inevitably gets though.
I talk constantly with my kids and they’re preteen and already having sex talks. Maybe more parents need to stop being lazy shits?
Unfortunately, most parents are not tech savvy and don’t understand Twitch or how kids use the internet at all. On the face of it to most parents it just looks like a gaming thing. To these people the internet is basically platforms like Facebook on their phones. When they eventually hopefully catch little Johnny watching furry penises on Twitch it’s already too late and a lot of parents lack even the parenting skills to deal with that appropriately. Sadly, it doesn’t take much intelligence to procreate.
Personally, I’ve just blocked Twitch outright on my firewall with this change in policy for my kids and continue to monitor what they do as always. But fortunately unlike the majority of parents I actually know how to deal with it either way.
Different approach but I don’t block anything. I watch twitch streams but show my kids what’s out there. Basically the world is fair play just be aware of where everything is coming from. I don’t get half the shit on twitch but damn those women know their demographics lol
No one has to watch the channels they don’t want to watch. Change the channel if you don’t like it. That’s why they’re called channels.
