Sure, I don't think kids (or anyone) should have "damaging material" pushed in their faces. But the issue with the twitch community's reaction to their moderation changes isn't about content being pushed onto kids, its about the community's moral views regarding anything loosely associated with "camming". It's been a common thread since the beginning of twitch to talk down to non-gamers on twitch, usually women, and call them various derogatory terms implying that they're just glorified camgirls. The backlash against any and all non-gaming categories over the years is this dynamic playing out. This is just the most recent iteration. Over-dramatizing one's concern for kids is just a convenient surrogate that lands better.
- jncfhnb 3y agoEh. The sexist thing is a lame defense. Yes there are sexist folks making aggressive claims. That does not define the system. At the end of the day, if porn is allowed, then porn is everywhere. In a system like twitch, it is pushed on you without asking for it as a user. It could be quarantined and made opt in, but honestly they just failed to implement that effectively.
- hackinthebochs 3y agoIt's not a defense, we just seem to be having different conversations. But I agree with your point, the content should be opt in. Twitch bumbled their rollout of this change about as bad as they could have.
- jncfhnb 3y agoPerhaps we are. But the bumbled rollout is the thing being reversed.
