I am so tired of this puritanical bullshit.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 58 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

It not puritanical it s juste Twitch trying to not be a strip club

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.

Twitch seems to be the only one with this problem. Like they keep playing wackamole with rules?

Where other social media sites just have more vague banning, but at least it doesn't deal with this.

their global mods and admins love watching these streams, until some higher up notices and drops the hammer lol

AI powered girlfriends encouraging them to pedal harder, it's the green energy of the future.

Kotaku is shit don’t link or support them.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I think most gaming sites are shit for different reasons.

But I'm gonna need your take so I know what type of person you are.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kotaku only does rage bait and polarizing content for the sake of gaining as many ad impressions as possible. And before you reply yes I do not agree with their coverage of gamergate 2 or their “journalists” intention to write hit pieces on streamers that disagree with her.

Kotaku is shit and lacks a vision other than writing a bunch of polarizing counter culture bullshit and shouldnt be trusted to factually report on anything.

“Our goal, always, is to make Twitch a welcoming place,”

Except for titty and ass streamers, your kind isn't welcome here
