Overview
- Twitch streamers have been using censor bars and pixelation to give the illusion of nudity in their streams, sparking controversy and calls for the platform to take action.
- Streamer 'lara6683' recently evolved the trend by pixelating her entire figure during a live broadcast, going viral in the process.
- Earlier, Twitch had updated its guidelines to allow for 'artistic nudity', but quickly reverted the decision after the art category was overrun with sexual content.
- Several streamers, including those who popularized the 'implied nudity' trend, have been banned from Twitch following their controversial broadcasts.
- Despite the backlash and bans, Twitch has yet to make a notable comment on the issue.
