I am not a vtuber, but I know quite a few -- and both vtubers I know /and/ IRL streamers I know are /both/ afraid for their channels right now. Vtubers do not exist in a bubble! Vtubers are friends, community members, collab partners, and so much more. Attacking them with disproportionately heavy-handed moderation doesn't just hurt the vtubing community. It negatively impacts the entire streaming ecosystem, and it makes content creators lose faith in the idea that Twitch will be a platform they can build a career on. The guidelines need to be revised to be straightforward, and their application needs to be even across all content creators. If you want everyone to be covered from head to toe, so be it: but at least make that clear so that your content creators -- the people who are producing the media which gives Twitch its value as a company -- do not live in fear that they will overstep an invisible boundary and lose everything they've built.
EDIT:// I want to add that I have no judgment for people who stream IRL and do performance art in little to no clothing. The problem isn't, at all, the content creators showing their bodies in my opinion: the problem is with moderation disproportionately targeting animated representations of bodies over their IRL counterparts. I already personally feel that Twitch's modesty-based moderation policies are frustratingly vague and subjective (and disproportionately affect content creators who skew feminine in their presentation,) and frankly, the last thing I hope will happen as a result of this is even more people being targeted by heavy-handed moderation efforts. Guidelines need to be overhauled to be clear, direct, and enforced unilaterally for EVERY content creator.
