    I’m really not comfortable about so many gaming companies not giving a shit about nudity

      Not really, just someone who reads the news in Europe and reads the headlines about revenge porn, ai fakes in school, and hormonal headbutting, pissing of teachers, and disrespect of the education system and caretakers only there to benefit them at even younger, more immature ages with far more disdain. If you want to go pedo on children, it’s on you, but it’s not hard to establish a distinction for adult only stores beyond a really useless age check and just enjoying it yourself without exposing children to it. Why are you so interested in rushing children into (false notions of) sexual (in)maturity (as is often the case when rushed) when that’s something that takes time for a reason?

          That should be up to the parents, not you, and they shouldn’t have to wonder if a platform composed mainly of children has now decided to host adult content and their own specific forms of child controls. Clicking on another link for adult content is not that hard.

          Literally having to argue why streamers drawing porn for money and exposure to sexuality becoming a circlejerk to personality cults is bad, incredible…

            That should be up to the parents

            That ship sailed 30 years ago with the invention of the Internet, but anyways parents are perfectly capable of blocking twitch or supervising their children’s media consumption. The rest of the adult world should not have to cater to entitled and incompetent puritanical parents

              It shouldn’t have to cater to “adults” who find it too hard to just type another link or go under a different brand when they want to wank off.
