Twitch updates guidelines to allow nudity, god help us all

We were all born butt-naked in the world and sometimes people like to express their natural nakedness on social media platforms.

Whether it be YouTube or Twitch, each has its own set of rules and guidelines. I would like to say that the rules are enforced on everyone equally, but I think it’s a fair assumption to make that depending on how much money you make for the platform, depends on how strictly those rules may or may not be enforced, allegedly.

Watch our livestream Wins and Fails video below!

When it comes to pushing the boundaries of what platforms such as Twitch will allow, perhaps Amouranth real name Kaitlyn Siragusa does it better than most and has used her platform to be quite the businesswoman making a filthy amount of cash by selling farts in a jar and more (I kid you not) as well as being part of the hot tub stream culture.

However, as far as I’m aware, Amouranth has never been topless on show during a livestream, unlike another streamer that caused quite a stir lately, and that’s OnlyFans model, Morgpie. This individual caused an uproar by just chatting on a stream and appearing to be topless with the camera just cutting off her nipples. This caused mass outrage from the Twitch community calling for her to be banned from the platform. Whether you agree with it or not, just a day or so later, Morgpie received her ban.

As reported by IGN, the recent ‘topless meta’ controversy has forced Twitch to update its guidelines to what is and isn't allowed on its platform. Though, it seems that the updated guidelines are open to interpretation and boundaries will no doubt be pushed once more. Especially for the term “artistic depictions of nudity”.

A section of the updated Twitch guidelines published on 13 December 2023 reads:

• Content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’ even when fully clothed.
• Fictionalized (drawn, animated, or sculpted) fully exposed female-presenting breasts and/or genitals or buttocks regardless of gender.
• Body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks regardless of gender.
• Erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as strip teases.
• Popular dances, such as twerking, grinding, and pole dancing are now allowed without a label.

I wouldn't hold much stock in the updated Twitch guidelines, because as already stated, how heavily enforced those guidelines are can seemingly depend on how much money you make for the platform, allegedly.
