It has been some time since Twitch has confused its users about what is allowed and what is not allowed on the platform, especially when the subject involves streamers who may have content with greater sex appeal to their audience. In a post on your official blog, the company announced the creation of a new category for bathtubs, swimming pools and beaches.
The intention is that your streamers can broadcast directly from these places with swimwear and without being questioned if this is within or outside the rules. According to Twitch, being seen as a sexy or attractive person does not hurt the rules of the platform, as they just do not allow objectively sexual content.
This means that it is perfectly acceptable to wear a bikini or swim trunks in an appropriate context (such as the beach, pool or bathtub that we mentioned earlier), but not out of a situation that makes sense or is only there for a type of appeal. or sexual suggestion.

That decision came shortly after a streamer, known as Amouranth on the platform, had her channel demonized suddenly and without much communication on the part of Twitch. The girl, who broadcasts in a bathtub in bikini, only learned that some advertisers complained about their content, prompting the company to remove ads from its channel.
In response to this, the company reported that it removed advertisements from various channels that did not please its advertisers, but that it really failed to communicate to streamers about this decision. Twitch’s plan going forward is to be more transparent about what is considered appropriate content to have active ads, but they admit that this may take a while.
It is clear that it is not possible to say that the creation of the new category of bathtubs and beaches is part of this plan, since this seems to be a step aimed simply to divide the people who make this type of transmission from those who are followers of the category “Only in conversation “, which is where the bath streamers were previously located.
