Twitch is now allowing more sexual content on the platform

Twitch has once again violated community standards. And this touches on a topic that has been particularly controversial on the platform so far: adult content. The streaming company changed the rules and opened additional scenarios containing adult content Allowed when streaming: it allows the streaming of content that has until now been completely prohibited, provided that it has the appropriate label.

And what type of adult content will now be allowed to stream on Twitch? Well, a wide range of things that most streaming platforms not only do not allow, but also categorically prohibit.

This is an interesting change to the platform, but keep in mind that while some of the restrictions have been lifted, it is notor opens the door to allowing sexual play or sexual play for the time being. As well as content containing sexual violence of any kind (neither fictional nor simulated) or pornography. They are still completely prohibited.

Relaxed Twitch rules for adult content

The following adult content is now permitted, provided it is properly labeled:

• Content that “intentionally highlights the breasts, buttocks, or pelvic area” even when fully clothed.
• Fully nude fictional women (drawn, animated or sculpted) with breasts and/or genitals or buttocks, regardless of gender. The company says there is a thriving community of artists on Twitch and this policy was too punitive for them.
• An inscription on a woman’s breasts and/or buttocks, regardless of gender. Twitch’s clothing policy already allows body art on the chest and butt, so this change makes that policy uniform.
• Erotic dances involving undressing or undressing gestures, such as striptease.

Except, Dances such as twerking, grinding and pole dancing are allowed., these are without label. Due to this, the platform will now take into account the context and prohibit streaming only in adult entertainment venues.

Of course, all lifted bans do not apply to Twitch’s dress code, which remains in effect: Streamers are still prohibited from being fully or partially nude. which includes exposure of the genitals or buttocks. They also prevent the outline of the genitals from being visible, even if they are covered. And it is logical that broadcasting nude or partially nude minors is prohibited, regardless of the context.

The reasons why Twitch wanted to completely change its policy are not clear, as the company limited itself to mentioning that it received “feedback” from users, but this is a big change from the policy that was introduced earlier this week. led to the streamer being banned.
