Clarify Community Guidelines on Sexual Themes for Art
The Community Guidelines covering Sexual Themes do not account for the art category on Twitch, so artist streamers who receive related enforcement action become frustrated and may be driven away, damaging that community. Updated documentation is necessary.
Recently one of the artists I enjoy watching has started receiving account warnings for not applying the sexual themes content classification label. She is frustrated to the point of not wanting to live stream drawing, which negatively impacts my ability to watch the content I enjoy on Twitch.
Her art is saucy, but it is unclear whether the label is truly required because the community guidelines for sexual themes don't account for artwork. Instead, they focus on physical actions and speech, like body painting and kissing or discussing sexual experiences. However, there is a call out of labeling not required for public art and art history.
Overall, this results in confusion and uncertainty for artist streamers. When enforcement actions like warnings occur in this environment, it causes frustration that may drive content creators away. Please revise the community guidelines for sexual content to clarify Twitch's stance on art. Thank you.
