Jukeyz caught watching bikini streamer during Warzone tournament

Twitch is known for its sexual content and there is always a lot of discussion about it. Lately it has become a trend that streamers seem to stream “topless” – though they were actually fully clothed. This new trend has caused a controversy and people have been discussing more than ever, what is acceptable on Twitch.

Following this trend, Twitch has made a huge update to its approach to “Sexual Content and Content Classification Labels,” and decided to give streamers more freedom.

Newly Allowed Content on Twitch

Twitch’s new Sexual Content Policy has opened up opportunities for previously prohibited content to be streamed on the platform, provided it is properly labeled and not accessible to younger viewers. The following content is now allowed with a label:

• “Content that deliberately highlights the “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.
  • Content with a focus on fictionalized (drawn, animated, or sculpted) sexual body parts regardless of gender, such as nude figure drawing, are allowed with a Sexual Themes Label.
  • Fictionalized sexual acts or masturbation remain prohibited.
• Body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks, regardless of gender, as long as attire requirements are still met.
• Erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as stripteases.”

These changes should allow dancers, artists and women in general to stream on Twitch without risking to get banned. They do have to properly label their content though.

That means streamers can now do poledancing, twerk and grind on-stream, but streaming inside “adult entertainment establishment” is still not allowed.

With these changes Twitch wants to give more freedom to streamers.

What about streaming games with nudity?

Twitch allows streaming games that feature nudity as long as it is not the core focus or feature of the game. The streamer must apply the “Mature-rated Games Content Classification Label” and the “Sexual Themes Label” if they play games with nudity.

However, games that feature nudity, pornography, sex, or sexual violence as a core focus or feature are still prohibited on Twitch. Simulated sexual activity or erotic roleplay with other players in online games is still prohibited.
