My age group (and younger) seems to be trending towards a more conservative-yet-inclusive set of morals. This new stink about camgirl streamers is just one facet of something wider and more encompassing. Or maybe I'm just pissed that people are growing up and favoring more family-friendly stuff.

No, again, it has nothing to do with morals. There are many sites for sex workers, and rest assured that many in the twitch community who would prefer that they not hijack twitch also visit those other sites.

It's sequestered off into "IRL" which is buried amongst other titles of games. Earlier today, among the dozens of front-page feeds of people doing random things there were maybe three, now I see one (and its one of the same people as before). So unless the demographics of streamers have shifted in the past couple of days since this popped up on reddit, it's hard to consider it a takeover?

Reiterating OP, the momentum of this thing looks more like -- whatever it was before -- it is becoming or has become an generalized attack on sex appeal in a realm where AO/R/18+-rated content is still frequently a kiss-of-death, if not something needlessly danced around. I get that some gamers may not want this kind of thing but, c'mon, let people be people. If it's really bothersome then leave the site and maybe management will make a change after enough follow suit. It's already buried in a ghetto of other banners under "Browse" and I didn't see and there doesn't seem to be any other way to get to it besides search.

Also the twitch community should really evaluate it's complaints about outsiders given that it exists in the husk of justin.tv's corpse.
