Art Category seems no longer Art.
Recently, due to the introduction of NSFW content on the platform, more channels have been appearing in the ART category.
I, as many other artists in this platform, understand there's a community within NSFW artists, which is much appreciated. What should be not permitted are channels advertising themselves in the ART category, misleading people to a content not related to art.
There are more than 20 accounts, during the hours when the audience is lower, streaming nude real girls twerking and other different +18 content as well. I presume, in the higher audience hours, these accounts may increase in number. There are also people using AIs to create from nudes to pornographic images, not to say that is not art and those accounts didn't exist before, they have just appeared in our category due to this new policy.
The art category has been there for years, for people streaming and watching Art, and our beloved space has turned into a bag for those who don't know which category they should be streaming in, making it quite uncomfortable.
I would encourage TWITCH to do something about it, introducing an NSFW Category wouldn't be a bad idea. Even a new category for those using AI, allowing the art community to remain safe and restricted to artistic practices.
Art Category shouldn't be the place for everyone to go when they don't know which category they should be in.
As a further recommendation, and to be close to what people stream, have you ever think about subcategories? That would be a way to solve this issue, even welcoming more people to the Art community.
The art category could have different subcategories such as digital art, traditional art, body painting... So that people appear automatically in the one they belong, also allowing them using all hashtags to be even more specific.
Hoping for the best solution for everyone in the twitch community to be applied.
Thank you very much for your time,
Best regards,
Kimi-sama.

The Art channels feed has been suddenly flooded with lewd trashy streams. What the heck happened?
Art is my favorite category. I love drawing, painting, and sculpting streams.
But now I can not browse the Art category because it full of thumbnail previews of people's butts in the camera. What the heck is going on?
Can't Twitch see when they loosen the rules a tiny bit, there is a mob of people looking for a loophole to exploit to stream sexual content that the loosening is not meant to allow? And things are made much worse.
The Art category is a gutter now. Please, solve this problem.
