With the message, Twitch addresses the controversy surrounding bubble bath streams, which are considered offensive by some users.
“… being found sexy by others is not against our rules, and Twitch is taking no action against women or anyone else on our service because of their subjective attractiveness, ”says Twitch.
Twitch rules allow streamers in the context of a pool or beach in swimwear appear on stream, and ‘self-expression’ such as writing on body parts is also allowed. According to Twitch, only content that is ‘overtly or explicitly sexually suggestive’ is not allowed.
“Prohibiting all forms of content that could be perceived as suggestive would also result in far more limitations in video games and premium content than we currently allow, especially given the way female characters are sometimes objectified. “
Finally, the platform introduces a new category called Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches. Twitch asks streamers to select that category during hot tub streams.
