And when you talk about this people instantly takes it personal. "Why are you shaming women because of their bodies?" no, im talking about how biased and hipocritic twich is by allowing hottub streams in swimsuits while other streamers get banned for the most stupid shit...

[@BenjiPrinceMushroom]

“But nothing is sexual about the hot tub streams” they say, yet get really squirmy when you ask if they’d be comfortable with a twelve-year-old doing that kind of thing.

[@luminous3558]

@Lydia No if one is sexual then so is the other. If both were fully clothed in normal clothing it would be fine but thats not whats talked about. Twitch is not officially a camgirl site. Also even if someone is clothed it doesn't mean the situation cannot be sexual if they are doing suggestive things and even then Bikinis and other swimsuits are for all intends and purposes underwear and cover about the same space on a woman. Pretty sure you can't sit around in your underwear on twitch either.

[@ozarazil5745]

@Lydia No well that's a little bit of a extreme example, i wouldn't like a kid doing even a regular gaming stream and being exposed to who knows how many strangers on the internet. In my case it's a matter of consistency more than who is watching or not, if kids are watching it's their parent's responsability for leaving them on the internet unsupervised. For me is more of a matter of either everyone is allowed to do it or nobody is, wich isn't the case currently. Twitch keeps giving this streamers special treatment while banning others for the tiniest viiolation of TOS...

[@anentiresleeveoforeos2087]

[@static-ky]

It does seem funny that Twitch seems marginally worse than KZbin after years of criticizing this platform. While KZbin has always been negligent, Twitch seems to have active moderation that attempts to influence a culture that their staff personally favours, even if it loses them money. And that culture is one that would rather spend time restricting narrowly ableist terms than working to improve accessibility features for the very same groups of people. Speaking of that, kudos for having closed captions even on videos like this, available the moment it's uploaded no less. That's based as hell, man.

[@randomchannel1519]

Twitch is like that these days. Hope you'll be able to appeal but you should be prepared just in case you have to end up switching platforms.

[@missingclover]

Twitch rules are specifically designed to adapt to the reason they want their punishment to be. That way they can ban whoever they want for whatever they want.

[@GodOfOrphans]

@Lydia Pretty much, Section 230 is supposed to narrow the scope to at least good faith moderation but they are never punished for blatantly ignoring that criteria.

[@GodOfOrphans]

@Lydia I'm just pointing out that the unlimited unilateral unjustified banpower is already illegal and has been for decades in both the letter and spirit of the law and the only reason they have the power to do it is due to deliberate abnegation responsibilities by the legal system. There are also hard limits on what one can get away with even with a contract, for example Patreon kerfuffle not that long ago where they tried to weasel out of their own binding arbitration clause on account of it backfiring, with a last minute TOS change and the judge was having none of it. Contracts and elements of them that are unenforcable and or done in bad faith are also voided and quite literally every TOS is done in bad faith as proven by consistently uneven enforcement. You probably know much of this anyway and if I'm coming across as adversarial I apologize I just feel the need to spread such information as a shocking amount of people have no idea how to argue back against the technocrat corporate overlords and their shill drones.

[@HexManiacQuinn]

@Lydia If you're referring to the takes I think you are (such as being ok with the word "Trap", feeling marginalized from the LGBT+ community and acknowledging this weird problem of gender non-conforming people feeling pressured to identify as trans even by his own personal experiences?), it's odd you're referring to them in a past sense. As far as I'm aware, his stances haven't changed. He's a gaming channel largely and it's not what his channels are about, but I don't believe his opinions have ever changed. Just recently he uploaded a video talking about issues with the dubbing industry, being extremely politically biased and those insertions being put there in bad faith, undermining the audience expecting decent, faithful translations and really nothing more. I imagine none of that had landed him in good graces with Twitch Mods, I agree - but I see them all as his current viewpoints.

6:50 I would say you’re making an educated guess, not an assumption. People in general view the naked male body, hell, even a slightly exposed male body, with at least a small measure of distaste at best, and outright disgust at worst. I’m confident that is the reason for Twitch’s double standards. It’s why it’s still considered taboo to depict openly gay male characters in media, and it’s the same reason men’s dress codes are much more restrictive than women’s (no matter how much idiotic feminists insist otherwise). Unless society at large begins to open up its mind to the beauty of male sexuality, this kind of shit will just persist. It’s so incredibly frustrating.
