Double Standards: Twitch's guidelines target VTubers and virtual women more strictly than real-life streamers, such as those in hot tubs.

Financial Impact: VTubers face high costs to update their models, while real-life streamers can easily change outfits. It's also, not real. I understand decency and having tags for certain "suggestive" content but no one, no advertiser losing money for Jessica Rabbit and advertisements with characters like her along with their male equivalents. (body builders in speedos)

Fictional Characters: Characters like Winnie the Pooh could violate Twitch's guidelines, highlighting inconsistency. Furry V-tubers . this is

Censorship Concerns: Policies give moderators subjective control over acceptable content, impacting all avatars, including non-binary ones.

Gender Bias: There are concerns about Twitch's history of gynophobia and biased treatment of feminine-presenting avatars.

Cultural Regression: The guidelines reflect outdated attitudes, reminiscent of conservative practices like skirt measuring.

Projection Issue: Twitch’s moderation may project biases onto content, reinforcing anti-progressive stances.

Inconsistent Enforcement: Previous bans of non-explicit content, such as "Dumpy" emotes, demonstrate arbitrary policy enforcement.

Power Dynamics: The changes feel like a misuse of power, pushing cultural standards instead of respecting diverse creative expression.

Some appointed censor has to go around checking every vtuber Avatar. This means going through male, female, and non-binary Avatar. That is either human or nonhuman. Is Felix the Cat suddenly a nudist? What of Bugs Bunny?
What of ogling the real women?

As for the real life women I can understand trying to make sure that covering up happens on general streams That's fine. This is not and adult site so no genitalia or feminine presenting nipples shown. No adult toys. No explicit content shown to children. Fine and Dandy.

Context is in two parts

It's interesting because if it's not explicit and fine in games to stream. Why can't vtubers also have that freedom? And who consideres what sexual? remember the Dumpy emote? That was a great amount of silliness. Proof that twitch policies are fallible and ridiculous. If one saw sexual stimulation or suggestion in an animation from a KID'S MOVIE (Open Season) then maybe they're not fit to make rules for anybody. Sadly it seems that person is still in the decision process.

Kids are not harmed by going to a Beach. Would that same advertiser have an issue with ****** feeding? Or what adult women wear in dance class?

It just hits a little too judgmental of a woman based on what she wears. That That is, historically and currently, misogynist. It's judging a woman's value and worth depending if she covers up. That's not good signaling.

I understand the tug of war on such touchy issues, I understand advertisers are very very conservative to the point of being regressive. But now you made a lot of people angry. Legit or misinterpreting your rules. they have a reason.

I hope i'm misinterpreting them. If i'm not then you just put an unwashed foot in to the cake.
