Hmm. If this is their attitude, I'm concerned about Video Games Awesome (as if the idiotic accusations that they were ripping off Twitch a year in advance by calling their paid subscribers "Turbos" wasn't bad enough). The fact that the actual game is an inset that takes up less than half the screen by area, combined with their habit of cosplaying in nearly every episode, could be taken as signs that they're putting too little focus on the games. Sure, they might not run afoul of any explicit rules right now, but who knows how things might go further down the line.roseofbattle said:

While I understand their reason (I've seen the debate on a Dutch newssite this morning, and AFAIK, someone brought up the good point that it should be that your own picture is the minor one, not your own pic being the big one or half-half or so. It should be about the game with some info regarding the streamer, not vica-versa.
My first thought about this "shirtless" was less women, but how will we watch the speedgaming marathons (AGDQ, SGDQ,...) without a topless Trihex???
on one hand, having your streamers use sleazy tactics harms your reputation as a brand, and puts other streamers at an unfair disadvantage and may turn away an otherwise interested audience.
on the other hand,
these rules will probably only serve to restrict the content providers while giving fewer benefits than it is worth, besides, isn't there a place for sexy game streams? what about the people who like those?

So this is a thing. People, if you want to see other (semi-)naked people just like yourselves online or strip down and show off yourself, there are things like tumblr's seedy underbelly, chatroulette, legitimate pron sites or you possibly your own cell phone. Quit ruining things just to get views or to be weird.
They could have been more specific on some of those things, though. I'd bet there are plenty of girl's swimsuits that cover more torso than what can be called a tank top. Also, what if someone is wearing short shorts and it's hard to tell if the are, will they be flagged? Maybe they could have example pics of acceptable clothing, because we know there will be issues in the near future.

Yes, if they find out you wore underwear underneath your t-shirt and jeans during your streams, you will be banned and a team will be dispatched to give you a wedgie.Grumman said:
I'm happy that they are getting rid of sleazy (not sexy) behavior on Twitch. Now it will be more about the games and less about perverted voyeurism. They need to go further, since the new rules don't get rid of cleavage whores snd shirtless man whores.
Kaceytron and "former" porn workers such as Jessie Rogers can move (back) to porn sites if they want to sell voyeurism of their bodies for money, and they clearly want to do just that. Twitch is about games.

I thought this in the OP:briankoontz said:
"is prohibited, as well as any full nude torsos, which applies to both male and female broadcasters." would include shirtless men.
I disagree about singling out busty women and censoring their cleavage. If you are concerned about the popularity of their videos by the number of views they receive vs other commentators, feel free to address the issue among those choosing their videos rather than trying to "cover teh womenz." Being busty is not something they should be singled out and punished for.
It Is like saying this is okay:
I wasn't even aware that this was a thing. Streaming is for games, people. If you want to see flesh there's always the rest of the internet.
Made me laugh.Laggyteabag said:roseofbattle said:
WHAT DID THE CORNISH EVER DO TO YOU, TWITCH?!
I think it is more concerning that it is all League of Legends than boobs. Popular sure doesn't mean good.Weaver said:
