@@robbobbrah8953 Incorrect. It goes like this: "Omg girl, if you buy this perfume worth $5 that we're selling for $300 as part of a fake 50% discount special offer from a nonexistent full price of $600, it'll do sciency-sounding face magic to your looks 5x, your girlfriends will all hate you and their boyfriends will all secretly love you more." Never forget the fake discount aspect. Men will pay twice what something is worth if they truly want it, whilst women will pay half what they are told something is worth even if they don't want it. If you want to sell anything to a woman, tell her the regular price is twice as high as what you're selling it for. So long as you convince her that she genuinely will never be able to buy the item at such a low discount in the future and must act now or lose her chance, this tactic has been proven to never, EVER fail. You can literally sell a testicular cancer testing kit to a woman, so long as she believes you are offering a special limited discount.

twitch is in the issue where they can't outright say that porn is allowed due to advertisers but still wants to benefit from porn. so is in a wierd middle ground where they some how have to have a semi respectful appearance but wants to porn to be allowed. so can't actually apply there rules evenly.

[@Nukestarmaster]

It's exactly this kind of strange and arbitrary line in the sand that cause DeviantArt (they banned sex in stories/pictures, but _everything_ else was acceptable) to degenerate into the cesspool of weird fetish shit that it was (and likely still is, I don't really care to check). Sites need to decide whether they view pornographic material as acceptable or not and not take half measures, because that always ends poorly.

[@randomprotag9329]

@@Nukestarmaster the approach is the perfect way to have the downsides of both cause they can't have a respectful appearance to advertisers with porn on the platform but can't take full advantage of the porn with out fully ditching advertisers. porn money in general ( for bothplatform and pornstars) needs accepting that porn will be attached to your reptuation and not making an effort to mitigate it.

I'm sure at some point, Steam will start getting smacked around too. Or maybe not considering how much money it gobbles in. Just everything is so ass backward why even care anymore lol

It's part of the simp fantasy. They think the girl streamer is reacting to them in real time, and maybe, just maybe, there's a chance that she'll notice him. You don't really get the feeling in pre-recorded porn. Twitch is literally capitalizing on extremely lonely, anti social men.

[@RedDogDragon]

@@toastedbabybuns1000 There are porn sites that act just like Twitch where it's live with a girl reading chat. So if you're really gonna fall for a chick who's willing to stick a sharpie up her butt for some of your cash, you don't have to go to Twitch.

[@TheSpicyLeg]

Because it isn’t about the porn. As you pointed out, if they wanted porn, it is literally a click away. No, it has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with a generation of lonely, spiritually devoid people seeking real connection. It’s about pretending to be in a relationship with these women, which is why they demand personalized attention for their money. Yet no amount of money will buy you the trust and love that comes from the trench warfare that is daily life. No matter what they pay, no matter what she shows, it doesn’t fill their human need to be loved and accepted. The older I get and the longer this goes on, the more convinced I am the Christians are right.

Onlyfans, Twitch, and Instagram are all killing blows to any would be feminist attack on sexualization. For added laughs, in Australia there is an ad campaign that claims looking at a women's bouncing breasts and saying you could watch that all day is sexist. The campaign encourages men to tell their male peers that such behavior is unacceptable. Clearly the activists haven't heard of twitch.

A small anecdote, the mods over at r/Pics on reddit have talked about this problem, and revealed some stuff that was interesting on their end. While more women do post pics of themselves in the frame more, the boost in karma and comments didn't seem to be because of gender. When men did the same thing, like posing with their art, their numbers go up about the same. For whatever reason, people like your shit more when you are in the frame, male or female.
