Decent Breakdown of the "Whore-ization" of Twitch Streams

[badzerath]

This basically hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned. However, I would say that Twitch was originally created to be a gaming site where people could come to watch other people play video games because they were either:
1. entertaining
2. really fucking good

I don't think the original idea behind twitch was to have clueless bimbos and former pornstars shake their tits and ass just barely within the limits of Twitch rules.

And while I am far from a SJW it would seem to me that people would want this type of bogus shit to stop since it hurts the females using twitch for its original intent.

Is there an actual benefit to allowing streamers to go full-screen webcam at all?

Should we just say fuck it and rename it to Twitchurbate?

whilst there is money to be made, then twitch will say a lot, but do little. but hey, I don't give a fuck because
A - I don't stream
B - I rarely watch streams.

Pretty easy to just stay out of those channels and let Twitch pay attention to the specific streamers and take action if necessary. The fact that they exist isn't going to be changed at all unless Twitch decides to get very heavy handed.

I'd just like to note that the thumbnail pic for that video is horrifying.

I watched, but didn't listen and here's what I saw: Most of the video consisted of memes and repeated footage from a single user. There was a snip from a girl dancing with too short a skirt per the Twitch rules who seemed more embarrassed about that, there was some other girl that got repeated several times. I never saw a single porn star referenced.

I have no problem with people selling their bodies and I have no problem with people paying for it. So I don't really give a damn. If Twitch doesn't want to enforce their rules, well that's their problem and frankly I don't care since I don't even use/watch twitch.

didn't twitch ban the racks? I remember they said no naked chest for either genders...

They have taken the rules and found a way to shake their goods within the new guidelines.

Can only be fullscreen webcam for like a minute or something? (Could be wrong)
Can't wear "bikini tops".
etc.

Regardless there are clips included in the video where a video game isn't even present on the stream which makes me confused why they are streaming on twitch if they wanna shake their ass to a music video?

I find those girls pretty retarded, but it isn't my life and twitch clearly doesn't care enough.

EDIT: Those tits are disgusting, those veins...

I'll have nightmares.

Any time you call a woman a "whore" who isn't actively engaged in trading sex for money, you're the one who looks like a terrible human being, not her.

Behold, intellectual dishonesty incarnate.

There's really no constructive place that this conversation can go, and even if it could this would be more of a video games discussion thing. Let's not make threads that are just going to hell fast.
