    So that turned out to be a big lie. Many streamers were banned yesterday for things that were specifically allowed under the new rules, and now those rules have been reverted.

    How is banning nudity sexist? I can see if they would allow guys to go topless, but not girls. That could be argued. But just because more women on twitch are making money off their bodies than men, doesn’t mean that banning nudity is sexist. Am I overlooking something?

      For example: “Body writing on female-presenting breasts” was forbidden, while there was no such rule for “male-presenting breasts”. There were other such rules that only affected “female-presenting whatever” with no “male presenting” counterpart.
