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.
We now allow tits because we realize they make us a lot of money
- Silly to have banned nudity in the first place, really
  
  Considering what twitch was and where it came from, I don't think it was
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.
  
  I mean men don't have breasts, there probably also isn't a rule bannin women from showing their balls
- How do they detect nudity? Seems likely the AI has a higher false positive rate for women given the training dataset
