    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.

            Nope. I didn’t know. I don’t see it as a bad thing though. It’s more a critisism of Twitch having to make up rules all the time just to validate their approach to streaming. I’ve been against all forms of sexualised or sexually suggestive content on twitch ever since the first hottub meta. It’s not that I am against it. They could have porn of they wanted. My issue is, that they argue it’s not sexual when it clearly is.
