Is Twitch Slowly Turning into Nothing but Another Cam Girl Site?

Is Twitch slowly turning into a camboy site?

So? What is your problem with that? Half the population are women, half of the gamers are women, too. Why wouldn't they be equally represented as streamers?!

You are dreaming if you think half the population of gamers are female. Also nothing against female streamers, problem is, they use "sex appeal" as a weapon to get easy followers..

I kinda agree. At the same time, my issue with Twitch is that it's a shit site in general with no enforcement of their ToS. Their whole moderator/customer service is complete and utterly useless and shit. I wish Amazon had gutted the whole fucking site when they bought it but well, fast money does stupid shit to people.

Ah whatever make excuses it’s personality. I’ll admit big breasted entertainment is my thing god bless them but if they are annoying and obnoxious as fuck or their content is boring maybe both. I’m not staying.

At the same time I’m not watching some immature squeaky zit popper overreacting to his belly button lint or shitty memes. I don’t watch Twitch anyways but 10% was anything interesting male or female. The rest was just drama whoring, ebegging, porncam or being edgy.

Why would they be "regulated" as your buddy suggests? Seriously, some women hating stuff going on here.

No. Twitch is not the exclusive territory of the male half of the gaming population. Get over it!

No they are not.

uBlock Origin and its sidekick Ghostery

You shouldn't be using Ghostery and uBO. It's pointless, just subscribe to the correct lists in uBO -- privacy and 3rd-party social media lists.

This video was actually addressed in the video the OP linked (which was actually put together really well) so if I were you, take a deep breath, suck it up and watch the whole video. Then come back and voice your disagreement. tldw: This video you linked isn't entirely relevant to the issue at hand

No, I'm waiting for you to ask me about our lord and savior uBlock Origin and its sidekick Ghostery. I don't go anywhere on the Internet without them.

Exactly life’s not fucking fair. Great take in the link. Exactly right get the fuck over it. If guys had a decent stream with some personality I think they’ll be alright.

[Lochton]

This guy paints the perfect picture.

Not really. Even so, they have rules for such as well. And if it is about how the person looks on their stream, well, Mr. Daish above me mentions it as well - 'Sexual appearance sells/lure' in this case.

[Flame6]

The problem is twitch doesn't want to get in the nitty gritty of policing a dress code. How do you specify how much cleavage is allowed? Are you going to ban all cleavage?

[Sparklelord]

Can't see or watch OP video, atm. On cell.

OP actually switched it to a youtube link recently, should be more watchable for cell users now

Basically, he has plenty examples of the kind of women being discussed as 'camgirls' and cites a lot of sources (yours included) as not actually addressing the issue at hand. Something along the lines of "Sure, if someone came to watch 'booby streamers' and she's not there then they're probably just going to leave but there lies the problem, they came to Twitch, a GAMING cam site, to jerk off, which is fine if that's what Twitch wants to allow"

That sort of thing, far less elegant than he put it though, def watch it.

Slowly? It has already turned, and has been for a while.

[Sparklelord]

sex sells look it up and advertising your youtube on mmochamp is aganist the rules i think

I don't think so? But OP switched it to a youtube link I think because the original link they had up wasn't working for some people. But maybe I"m wrong and they're just getting those free views.

It used to be a lot worse, now days not as much. A lot of the borderline cam girl and look at my low cut shirt such personality streamers are kept to the irl streams. So it is pretty easy to avoid them if you don't want to watch that. Some people do, and I guess Twitch is much more appeasing to their search history then camfrog.

I only watch a couple of dota2 steamers now days, and even then I know them and watch just to show support but the WoW streams used to be fairly contested between some girl trying to get carried while showing her stuff and people with personalities.

But at the end of the day as long as any rules are enforced evenly let people watch what they want. Somebody will only watch some girl do squats on stream for so long before they get bored of it if she didn't have some kind of personality to compliment it.

[melodramocracy]

One can only hope.

Also, no, it isn't. He's making a mountain out of a molehill as a plea for attention, and nothing more.

This I think is the true source of inaction on Twitch's part. That and they extra money they stand to earn lol.

Edit: Wasted enough time here, good luck chaps. It's going to be interesting to see what Twitch does next

[Video Games]

I hate the entire streaming culture at this point, and most of all, their giant fucking egos.

What a beta white knight. Literally the quintessences of placing the pussy on a pedestal.

[Total Crica]

What is all the uproar about? What people wear while camming their game-playing? Both those people in the video are wearing clothes. Seems like both men and women streamers are being treated equal in that aspect when it comes to the rules of being clothed while streaming.

Bullshit, people don’t stream candy crush or mobile games. And that’s the only possible way you could claim half of gamers are women
