Twitch Updated their Sexual Content Policy:
- Changes: Certain content now allowed with labels
- Artistic Nudity: Permitted under Sexual Themes Label
- Game Nudity: Contextual; labels necessary
- Body Painting: Acceptable with appropriate label
- Mature Games: Label generally covers content
- Stream Visibility: Impacted by content labels
Over the weekend of December 8, a new ‘meta’ gained popularity on Twitch after streamer, cosplayer, and OnlyFans model ‘Morgpie’ went viral on social media.
Morgpie’s stream showed the broadcaster seemingly topless, sparking outrage across the net as to what kinds of content was allowed on Twitch.
Three days later, Morgpie was banned — but now, Twitch has officially switched up its guidelines in relation to sexual content on its platform, making big changes for streamers.
Man Twitch is funny, they see how much viewers and money was coming in for this and was like, alright it's allowed now.

It's a tough position to be in if you are Twitch, as sexuality and sexual content can be a super gray area.
I do think they are scared of market share being eaten up by the shameless Kick.com, so they are trying to toe the line of allowing certain things like this while trying to remain objectively moral.
