Twitch streamer Asmongold sharply criticizes the new clothing guidelines that prohibit implied nudity. He criticizes the fact that the rules do not address the root of the problem, namely sexual content, and calls on Twitch to take consistent action against such streamers.
This is Twitch’s new decision: An updated policy comes into effect on Twitch that prohibits streamers from being fully or partially nude or suggesting being nude.
Female streamers in particular are asked to clearly show that they are clothed.
The changes are in response to the use of black censor bars or camera positions to obscure certain areas.
The appearance of female streamers who appeared naked without being naked was described as “the new Twitch meta” and was sharply criticized by many users, especially those who see Twitch as a pure gaming platform.
The implied nudity led to a discussion about the handling of sexual content on Twitch, leading to previous changes and withdrawals of relaxations regarding erotic content. The updated policy now aims to address the issue of “disturbing thumbnails” in category directories.

He explains that banning certain practices, such as the “topless meta,” only treats symptoms and does not address the underlying cause. Asmongold suggests that Twitch should take strict action against streamers who produce sexual content to solve the problem.
He accuses Twitch of failing to maintain the integrity of the platform and claims that many people remain silent out of fear because they believe they will be seen as sexist if they criticize streamers for their sexualized content.
what does he mean with that? The Twitch streamer Amouranth explained how the business model of “OnlyFans streamers” works:
