Nothing wrong with streaming nudity, but Twitch is specifically marketed to children for the purpose of watching people play video games. Blending porn in that with an algorithm that throws new videos in your face is a recipe for disaster.

Your "supposed to be clearly labeled" argument is really doing a lot of the heavy lifting here and ignores the reality of people gaming the system or finding loopholes and we all know there aren't going to be any real people moderating the site just like every other social media/video streaming site.

They really should have split it up into two different sites because I see this blowing up in their face spectacularly.

I’ve never once seen these girls on my twitch feed. Also, adult channels would obviously be excluded from children’s feed if they’re set up with parental settings.

Also, anyone who has access to the internet has access to porn if they seek it out.

“Think of the children” is such a boring argument. Grumpy old conservatives said the same thing about music videos in the 80s. Now we’ve got incels raging over naked people on the internet.

Yes, anyone with access to the internet is able to seek out porn which is why it seems unnecessary to risk pushing it in the faces of kids on a site marketed to children.

I find the incel comment hilarious considering you're the one pushing for more women getting naked in game streaming videos like some thirsty dude.

If a parent doesn't want their kid seeing something adult on the internet, they shouldn't let their kid use the internet or only under supervision. Besides, booba isn't going to affect kids any worse than Twitch chat already does.

Probably correct lol, twitch chat is the worst

Well, that didn't last long now did it?

Pushing? I don’t care at all. Pushing. Ok. Gamer.

To be honest, you're making a lot more wild assumptions in this comment than anything I said.

If you're right, then maybe the system will need some improvements. But it's all just speculation your part, so I don't see any reason to worry about it for something so inconsequential to begin with.
