...What?
The boys season 3 episode 1 around 10 mins in
You were a little too quick with that timestamp
He's got that shit jerkmarked
I think he's describing the "What If..?"-version of Avengers: Endgame
There are a million sites one can go for camgirls and strip teases, and Twitch shouldn't be one of them. It's a site about gaming streams. The only reason Twitch did this in the first place is to try and save face when people accused them of disproportionately banning female streamers. It was a bad move from the start.
Dunno, I've been using twitch since it was Justintv, it used to be a site about pay per view streams, free satellite TV and sometimes porn.
Which is not "artistic nudity". Unless you are one of those loonies who protests outside of museums.
Rather than actually moderate the people abusing it because GASP women might wear something other than a burka*, it just became a blanket ban like it used to be. Except video games still get the exception because God specifically wrote on the ten commandments that we are allowed to see dick and titties in a GTA but can never see one in a painting.
*: Seriously. How do those fucks survive walking down the street? Let alone going to a beach
To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can't think of others.
Like most things, "eurojank" and PC games had been doing it for decades since then. In large part because, once you get out of the US, nudity is just a thing as opposed to THE GREATEST THREAT TO HUMANITY BECAUSE BABY JESUS!!!!
Like, I have seen plenty of clips of streamers learning that playing older FMV games is a minefield for that reason. And those tend to be more "discretionary" rather than "We have decided that you can see Astarion's dick"
This is a very Eurocentric statement. Many other countries in the world actually have more restrictive rules and mores around nudity than the US does.
But personally I think nudity should be protected as part of the human right to free expression.
Like Saudi Arabia, yes.
Also China and India, so like a quarter to a third of the world's population
Note that they're all culturally conservative, oppressive places though.
Your description of twitch makes me suspect you haven't even used it.
There is nothing wrong with nudity.
People clutching their pearls about it is the problem.
There's a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I'm exhausted by people like you pretending there isn't and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.
It's some disingenuous bullshit that I'm having a harder time believing isn't intentional muddying of the waters by coom brained porn addicts the more I hear it repeated.
If you think that plain nudity made twitch rescind this, or that the majority of people against this shit are against nudity itself, you're sorely mistaken. I'm tired of sexualized content fucking everywhere, especially on video sites like youtube and Twitch that have content that targets children (most game streams and video content) right the hell next to people doing bikini jumping jacks in the shower.
Porn exists. I enjoy it. I don't need the lines blurred between it and other content by people out to make a quick buck off the pathetic people being tricked into paying for it by parasocial grifting.
Context matters, and Twitch already had a glut of streamers using it purely as an on ramp to their OnlyFans and other paypig sites before this harebrained shit.
Fucking on the money. (actually.. literally)
Exactly.
If you can't tell the difference between nudity and sexual content, maybe it's time you cut back on the jerking off.
Context matters.
This is all I need to read from that essay.
Thank you for self selecting out of the discussion, although I don't understand your need to broadcast it.
Legitimately confused here. Did you think making this comment would make you look cool, get you upvotes or something?
Adds nothing to the conversation unless you're willing to expand on why that phrase affected you the way it did.
Fuck it. Lets throw some sass. Did it hit too close to home, or do you just assume there's enough people who have the same views as you that they'll understand your vague as hell attempt to throw shade?
