If you don’t want to see it don’t look.
How about if you want to see it, go look for it? You’re really suggesting they should add nudity on my feed and I should just look away?
Maybe you haven’t noticed, but there’s plenty of nudity on Lemmy. Do you just ignore it here?
Or do you instead block instances, subscribe to those you’re interested in, and otherwise leverage tools to avoid content you don’t want to see?
Just like that. I don’t think many people are arguing that some cam girl’s asshole should be displayed uncensored on the front page of Twitch. I’d argue that they should keep the default experience tame, but allow its users to choose what they want – or don’t want – to see through settings and features.
Yeah I don’t use Twitch but I’m confused why they don’t require streamers to, like, tag their content with what it is. Not just for sex stuff, but generally. Have tags for like Realistic Violence, Cartoon Violence, Nudity, Musicals, Sexual content, etc, and then let the users (and advertisers) pick what tags they care about.
Then they can have enforcement around “You only tagged yourself Cartoon Mischief and had a hardcore anal scene - That’s a breach”. That seems like a simpler problem that would work for everyone. If you don’t want to see porn, just block the tag. That’s kind of how Steam works. They have porn games and I just don’t see them because I blocked the tag.
That is basically what the policy was.
The content tags are increasingly becoming a thing but are mostly handled on a per game level. So if Space Marine has dismemberment, there would theoretically be “dismemberment” listed in the content warning list for a stream that has set their game to Space Marine. I assume this is just pulled from the ESRB/european version database, but not sure. “Mature” game means it doesn’t show up on the front page and you get a warning when you click in.
What this is rolling back was a similar approach being taken for nudity. Streamers would tag that they may have sexualized content or nudity on screen and it takes them off the front page and provides similar warnings.
So what happened was a bunch of assholes decided to go batshit insane to “protest” this and get it rolled back. Which means, funny enough, the hot tub streams and the like are once again front page eligible.

Did they do exactly that yesterday?
You are still alive today so what’s your problem?

Yes, thay’s totally what’s going on here. I shudder whenever I need to use the restroom, because I can’t bear the thought of catching a glimpse of my own genitals. Every morning shower is a panic attack. Intimate moments with my wife are a traumatic blur of shame and disgust.
Or maybe, just fucking maybe, there’s a massive goddamn difference between plain nudity and sexualized content and twitch has already shown many many times that it can’t be trusted to moderate that distinction.
Fucking hell this is exhausting. There’s incredibly few people opposed to this due to puritanical concepts of “dear god not a female nipple!”, and a shit ton of people tired of the constant forward march of increasing sexualization of everything. Y’all need to stop fighting imaginary enemies.
If you want to jerk it to something there is more porn available for free online than anyone could consume in a lifetime.
I dont even watch twictch, but look how bent out of shape you are on this subject.
If sex scares you, idk what to say fam. Every animal, fungi, plant, etc all do it. Its ok if people are entertained by it.
You and 8 other people care very loudly, we get it.
