They just got pissed at people using censor bars on themselves to make it look like they were naked (in protest for Twitch backing down on their nudity policy).
Yes, it's a salty move, and yes, they're being assholes about it.
The thots are assholes right?
Because twitch is a gaming platform, not a PG-13 Onlyfans advertisement platform.
Or is it?
Not only Twitch features many games with sexual content, which seem to be fine as long as the publisher is big enough. It also doesn't seem to mind streamers that are only there to chat or draw or do anything else not game related.
So, what's the problem here? If people think it's so bad they can just go watch something else.
I'll never understand this puritan gamer resentment at streamers who dare to rely on sexual appeal over skill or humor or art or any other myriad of ways someone might get an audience.
Humor and art are vastly different than spreading eagle with a black censor bar covering your shit, or drooling and licking a microphone ear to help the incels rub one out.
Please don't insult artists, comedians, or any other talent with comparisons to that.
Just sounds like you don't respect nsfw artist and performers to be honest. Just anybody talking casually on the mic is good enough for a "proper" stream, but if their performance is sexually suggestive you judge it for lacking some shakespearean quality.
Nevermind that it does take effort to look and sound sexy.
C'mon, do you really want to try passing this outrage at sexy streamers as a greater reverence for the arts? As if art is never raunchy or crude? No drawing? No comedy? Get real.
