Stop giving sexually explicit streamers special treatment and get rid of that content
Twitch has become known for giving sexually explicit streamers not only special treatment when it comes to moderation but when it comes to rule enforcement as well. There are tons of examples of streamers being banned 5+ times for sexual content and still only getting 2 day bans max. It would be nice if twitch didn't turn their site into a hotspot for **** addicts. If twitch wants to go in the direction of being an alternative to chaturbate or pornhub live then put that into a separate site and don't lump those "creators" in with everyone else who just want to have make actual entertaining content.
Twitch is slowly becoming a cam site with all the different sexual metas that people can abuse to easily get partner with very little punishment on site for doing so. Thats not even mentioning that the minimum age for twitch is 13 which is becoming more and more concerning the ****** the rules and enforcement gets on sexually explicit streams.
The fact stuff like this is not only being allowed but encouraged is disgusting and it hurts not only the sites reputation as a whole but is sending a message of "its okay to break the rules as long as you make us money". Everyone on the platform is talking about how twitch is becoming a site for "cam models" and something needs to be done about it.
Personally, I'm embarrassed to say I use this site because of its reputation of what equates to a cam site (even though I only use it for games). If twitch wants to do that sexually explicit content then it would be nice if they made a different place to host it. Until the rules are tightened greatly around sexual content, this site will always be an embarrassment for those who use it for games / creativity.
Thats not even mentioning the harm I believe it does to female creators who don't do that type of content since it becomes expected of them and alot of women are harassed because a small group of them get special treatment.

The channel has the appropriate labels, other channels that got suspended didn't utilize the function, arguing over something that is being used correctly isn't going to do anything

L@p-d@nces =/= twerking, but regardless, if the camera was focused on "sensitive" areas or whatever, it would go against their own community guidelines, which is probably why that kind of content isn't seen in the IRL section. So, with that being said, it shouldn't be allowed virtually either.

Twerking is allowed on twitch the last I've seen, I filtered the content out so that the website doesn't recommend me that content

Whether it's labeled or not, the portion I referred to suggests that it's not allowed. If this wasn't the case, wouldn't we see this kind of stuff all over the IRL section? If what you're saying is all true, and complete l@p-d@nces are totally allowed as long as they're labeled correctly, why isn't the website filled with them? I just looked and I couldn't find a single one in any IRL category. Also, that streamer is a dude.

This would have been an issue if IsTHISRealVR did not label her stream as "sexual themes" however she has it labeled. As much as I dislike sexual themes and vulgar language, her stream is properly labeled for such content.

Under the Community Guidelines - Sexual Content it states "Content that focuses on clothed intimate body parts such as the buttocks, groin, or breasts for extended periods of time." The timestamp is pretty much all of their content on nearly every stream. Also, why is the option to report people for "sexually explicit" content there if those kinds of things are allowed? Seems completely hypocritical but that's not your issue I guess.

@vrchat_commandments The top left of the stream has the appropriate flair, streams that don't utilize the "has sexual themes", "has profanity" etc are not allowed to post/stream with this content. The clip clearly has that flair at the top left indicating sexual themes in which their stream is allowed.

This should also be true for VTuber content and similar content like VRChat for example. The VRChat Twitch page is being taken over by straight up stripper/l@p-d@nce content (ex: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2155765409?t=4h28m5s ). This stuff is pornographic by definition considering the lack of clothing and the obvious intent behind the content. People KNOW what the content is for and so do the streamers in question, so how does this keep being allowed?

Twitch will not allow Tabacco use on the home page but you can have your whole package on display on a website targeted to kids. Fire management.
