      Advertisers.

      If you were a bank or a energy company would you want your advert on potentially sexual content, and I use that in looses possible sense.

      It stems for an incident years ago where a “journalist” spam refreshed a ISIS video on YouTube until they saw a VW advert and they ran a massive story about VW financing ISIS via YouTube. I may get getting some details wrong about the story.

      Tons of kids use their platform, so sexualized content, even lightly sexualized content like this, is sorta questionable.

      Also advertisers.

          That hasn’t been my experience at all. I feel like you don’t actually use Twitch, but even if you’re right it’s “tu quoque”. Neither party should be showing sexualized content in a space largely occupied by children.

              I said spaces largely occupied by children shouldn’t host sexualized content. It’s telling that you have an issue with that.

                  literally antidemocratic

                  Twitch isn’t a state-owned company. 🤷‍♀️ The only vote they care about is the advertiser’s.

                  If you think it’s appropriate to allow sexualized content on a streaming service centered around a hobby dominated by children, make your own.
