On Wednesday twitch changed their site rules to allow artistic nudity. The policy allowed streams to display nonsexual nudity as long as the stream is tagged, so that the stream would be hidden from the front page. Twitch rescinded the policy 2 days later.
it’s not a hot take, it’s what everyone is saying in the discourse. i’m saying there’s nothing to be done about it and kids looking for porno and finding it before they’re of age is a ubiquitous experience throughout multiple generations and i do not think this is particularly different.
you can dislike this but i mean it’s just reality.
There is something to be done about it… like not hosting porn on the same website that kids use to watch Minecraft, for starters. And it’s being shown to everyone, not just people that are looking for it.
I’m saying it’s one tab over, no matter what. The Internet is one giant place.
I grew up on the internet, I’m talking about my own experience lol.
I think it’s denying reality to think that taking porn off one website somehow makes it any safer for kids when they can literally open a browser tab and go to 4chan at the same time they’re watching twitch.
Put a little “are you 18 and older” pop up in front of the channel and filter it out of the main content feed, or have a setting to “view adult content” with a parental lock on it for the ones paying any attention
Respectfully, that’s a terrible attitude to have. If you can’t think past your horny self, then think of the girls who have to grow up seeing women sexualized in the games they play and on the websites they use.
Taking porn off a website makes that website safer for kids, that’s not denying reality. It’s not that complicated dude. By your logic, every website including this one should be flooded with gore too because anyone can “literally open a browser tab and go to 4chan at the same time”
I’m just saying it’s not worth having a moral panic about, not that it doesn’t make sense to moderate and filter content. Or at least that is what I’m intending to say rather.
I.e. I don’t buy “think of the children” arguments because there is much, much worse shit going on than a kid seeing some boobs.
Yeah some people on the Internet act like kids start (or should start) puberty at 18. they don’t, sorry guys. The answer is actually decent sex ed and specifically teaching them how to protect themselves from creeps, not trying to gate porn behind a driver license or whatever the Mormons think of next
Exactly. It’s all very protestant to be moralizing about it like this, it’s not good.
Not going to get into the violence vs nudity thing, but I mean there’s plenty of very gory and toxic video games out there, viewable on twitch, that are probably more damaging, or at least world view effecting, than seeing a tit
