Thank you! I feel like the plot was getting lost here debating the morality of nudity while ignoring that the site is a gaming streaming service.

Nudity/porn doesn’t bother me at all but the moment twitch becomes widely associated with it is the beginning of the end. Parents will think twice about allowing kids into the service, brand equity suffers, other services start up that allow for safer spaces and eventually, as you said, twitch risks being considered OF 2.0.
