Twitch has updated its community guidelines and will now allow “artistic depictions of nudity” after thirsty users threatened to revolt. According to the new guidelines, more explicit content will be allowed but only if it is labeled properly.
If it’s sexual content, it has to be labeled properly for other users to know what they’re trying to engage with. The labels shouldn’t be vague.

Under Twitch’s new guidelines, “artistic depictions of nudity” are now permitted with a “sexual themes” label; the platform defines such depictions as “content with a focus on fictionalized (drawn, animated, or sculpted) sexual body parts regardless of gender (such as doing nude figure drawing).”
While the guidelines mean that Twitch will have more sexual content, the platform is drawing a firm line at “fictionalized sexual acts or masturbation,” which are both still prohibited.
Other forms of content permitted with the use of a label include “content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’” “erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as strip teases,” and “body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks regardless of gender.” The post highlights that the latter was technically permitted under the platform’s attire policy, which now makes the two policies more “consistent.”

“Popular dances, such as twerking, grinding, and pole dancing” are allowed on the site “without a label.”
Despite the updated guidelines, nudity, sex, and sexual violence in gaming remain “entirely prohibited” but the “Mature-rated Games Content Classification Label” is authorized for “incidental nudity,” per Twitch’s new rules.
Now that the platform has allowed more explicit content, expect loads of sexual content from these models and famewhores.
