I thought "where the hell does Twitch keep coming up with these absurd sex-related things to ban?" and it turns out it's just this one lady and inventing them is her shtick and she's single-handedly keeping like five journalists employed.
Morgpie is stimulating ... the economy.
Earlier this month, she streamed herself playing Fortnite with the gameplay projected on her butt.
Amazingly inventive.
Yeah, she should be rewarded, not penalized.
Twitch should just make four sections of their service:
Normie would be the default, and anything else is opt-in.
Not going to happen anytime soon because advertisers and payment processors with the lowest fee wouldn't touch sites that contain adult contents, even if said contents are not visible by default.
They could always just make a family of connected sites. That could be subdomains (kids.twitch.com or whatever) or separate domains, but all linked to the same creator account. So a creator would tag a stream as belonging to one of those categories, and it would be assessed and hosted on that category of host.
I don't see how that would solve anything. That would just result in people streaming in the "normie" classification, but pushing the limits as far as they could go.
Morality policing is dumb. If she wants to stream through her chest or butt, more power to her.
It's the advertisement companies that are far behind the times. They ruin everything they touch because they are so sensitive to Karen types.
Doesn't Twitch make most of its money through donations, and the insanely high cut Twitch takes from them?
They still need to use payment processors, right? Those payment processors wouldn't allow adult contents. Those that do, charge significantly more for each transaction.
If we can't see games on boobs and butts then what are we even doing here?
Touching neither grass nor ass.
But I do have gas, so there's that.
At this point Twitch slowly but surely became OnlyFans 2.0
Twitch has always been about whoring. And I'm not just talking about girls showing cleavage or whatever. People whore for their viewers to donate, and the viewers whore for their senpais to notice them. It's just an annoying concept. inb4 "there's exceptions, especially for smaller streamers" - I know, I don't care. It's just a matter of time and growth potential for most. It's part of the commercialization and it happens even on YT now too.
Me watching Vinesauce just play games and talk about music or whatever: 💀
It seems to me like there's a big market for sexual video game streamers. A site that came along and allowed it might even dethrone twitch if done well.
Only Fans is trying to get into video. This is probably what they should be doing, not whatever that TV thing is
I think being rebellious and creative is part of the fun.
I was literally just saying this in a meeting with my boss today that since the invention of Twitch, there has just been too many boobs on the Internet.
Iike without twitch, there would be a perfect amount of boobs on the Internet, but you know those thirst streamers they force you watch before you can view any other content really just pushed the whole thing over the edge.
You know what there's too much of on the Internet these days? Squares that don't understand sarcasm and tone.
I also blame Twitch. Before there were boobies in the way of my gaming streams, people had to read into the covered up boobies all over the Internet. Now there's just boobies on display everywhere and you don't have to think about anything.
That was a work conversation with your boss??
"Because of twitch there are too many boobs"
LOL
Im an avid twitch user. Please put down the pitchforks you may have from the title. This is her whole schtick (morgpie), finding creative ways around the censorship. Yes she does sex work, but she's also a great streamer in her own right and is actually playing the games on screen. She constatly holds a chat of like 4k people and streams for HOURS. You can only horny watch for so long, at a certain point people are staying because they just enjoy her personality and stories.
Like this is fucking hilarious. Subjectively ofc, but If my owlverweight man ass were to do the same thing, everyone would just be laughing at me.

It's called fostering parasocial relationships for profit and it's not something we should encourage.
Other than the boobs and butts the description fits 99% of people streaming gameplay and interacting with fans.
Yeah, we shouldn't encourage that either.
...I'm more serious about this than I'd like to be.
I’m with you. If someone wants to watch ass Fortnite why should I care?
Wait, the Morgpie?
If its the same one who does porn, why watch her boob streams on twitch when you can watch her get stuffed on pornhub? I don't get it
I guess because sex has to be included everywhere now. we can't just have places for normal streamers to go.
it's very annoying.
TIL she's on pornhub
TIL she's on twitch lol
On twitch they can spend thousands to have hear read something that they wrote to her. Maybe if they keep it up she will like them. After all 99.9% of all parasocial relationships end just before you get a real date.
It's not because of the porn but because of the taboo. You're not supposed to be seeing porn on twitch so her pushing the envelope appeals to a bunch of people.
Just let it happen at this point. I get the idea of trying to moderate the content so that it's not a bunch of thirst streams and so that there are actually people doing various activities on there, but people act like this because it gets views.
Just let people get it out of their systems. Might take a few years, but eventually there will be people looking to watch regular people playing video games, making art, playing music or just talking again.
It's not really Twitch's fault. Twitch doesn't care about sexual content, they're a company they don't have morals. They'd be more than happy to rake in those dollars. The problem are advertisers and payment processors who have very strict views/policies on stuff like this and Twitch has to kowtow to them if they want to be in business.
So many sites have this happen to them, where they allow or even encourage sexual expression and then a payment processor comes in and says "yeah if you don't cut out that we're dropping you" and then it's over.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to the update, starting March 29th, “content that focuses on intimate body parts for a prolonged period of time will not be allowed.”
The move is, without a doubt, a targeted response to the new Twitch “meta” wherein streamers project gameplay onto a green-screened part of their bodies, specifically the breasts or buttocks.
During her stream today, she wore a green screen cut-out shirt making her head and chest the only parts of her a viewer could see.
Others capitalized on the new meta by projecting gameplay on various body parts, but with today’s announcement, such activity will become a bannable offense.
In December, Twitch relaxed it’s nudity policy to allow “deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,” so long as the stream had the appropriate content label.
The company immediately rescinded the policy after streamers pushed the boundaries of it, stating, “Upon reflection, we have decided that we went too far with this change.” Then, in January, Twitch updated its guidelines again to ban implied nudity after creators, including Morgpie, streamed themselves at angles that suggested they weren’t wearing clothes.
