Is it really that hard for twitch to create an option to mark a stream as mature only Allowing 16+ accounts? (Should be mature enough for erotic non porn)

Kids who lie about their age know what there doing and require more parental oversight when signing up to a platform.

I don't understand, children cannot see nudity? Is it bad for them?

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think people care about the nudity as much as they care about the intent behind the nudity. Streamers seem to be edging as close to the line of porn as they can in order to gain views and money. This isn't someone simply walking around a beach without a top on.

I don't care if people want to fingerbang or jack themselves on cam while playing Zelda, but don't fucking blend it in and recommend it to people on a site specifically designed for children. That's what turns it from "someone seeking it out on their own" (as with the availability of porn on the rest of the internet) to "let's shove it in your face to boost our quarterly profits during an economic slump." People can claim that this all should be prevented by rules and tags but let's be real people are going to do whatever they can to skirt the rules and standout from the crowd and no human being is actually going to be moderating any of this just like with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other similar site.

Also I think parents want to know when an app has nudity. Twitch is rated 14 plus on Google play store. Parents wouldn't expect nudity on it.

Also this was already walked back likely because disney and other advertisers didn't want thier ads to run in front of nudity / porn
