Let’s Talk About Hot Tub Streams

Because there are other places for that. Many people browse twitch at work (let’s not debate that) and don’t want to see that kind of content. Or on machines visible at home around other family members.

These women have every right to do as they please, and most likely will continue to push the boundaries of twitch’s tolerance. I suspect we will have car washing streams or sauna streams next to get around the rule.

But I don’t want to see it.

Wouldn't a simple solution be to allow people to disable or hide NSFW streams? Reddit and Twitter both have this, IIRC.

This is the fundamental part of the problem. People are acting as if these streams are not sexualised and SFW.

It seems like a lot of the people in this thread are not really twitch users and aren't really aware of what's being discussed. They're seeing "Hot Tub Streams" and think it's just a person sitting in a hot tub, unaware of how sexual these streams have become.

Even if that were the case, they need to be segregated, very clearly from normal streams. I don't want to see women or men in minimal close when casually browsing in a public place.

That doesn't fix the issue of ruining the Twitch brand.
