Homepage Content Recommendation Policy Update
Today's update to the policies are understandable but the solution provided is very disappointing. I am a sex-positive streamer who educates and discusses sex and kink in a no-shame, queer-focused way. I am not streaming nude or playing games with excessive nudity. However, I do use the "Sexual Themes" tag because I want viewers to be aware that those topics of conversation can and do arise. With this new policy, I'm now penalized for being sex-positive by being ineligible for the home page.
It has been previously recommended that blurred or hidden thumbnails be shown with those categories, which feels like a much more reasonable solution. I would alternatively suggest splitting the "Sexual Themes" category into two categories to better specify between explicit content that may appear on screen, and therefor in a thumbnail and sex-positive, inclusive spaces that wouldn't be appropriate for viewers under 18 but wouldn't pose a thumbnail risk.
This also doesn't feel like a perfect solution but regardless, this feels like a continuation of excessive censorship on the internet that focuses on puritanical, "family-friendly" content and suppression of content that does not fit into that box. I would request a more thoughtful and nuanced solution that does not force me to either "clean up my content" or be penalized.

The new policy unfairly penalizes sex-positive educational content by restricting home page eligibility. Using blurred or hidden thumbnails would be a better way to handle sensitive topics without censorship. Splitting the "Sexual Themes" category into explicit content and discussion-based content could also help. This approach would support important conversations without forcing creators to change their content or face penalties. A more balanced, nuanced solution is needed to avoid unnecessary suppression of inclusive, sex-positive spaces. https://fuckpal.com/
