That’s not all; certain dances, such as “twerking, grinding, and pole dancing” are now allowed to stream on Twitch without a label, and broadcasts that are labeled with “Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use; Violent and Graphic Depictions; Gambling; and/or Sexual Themes” will no longer be allowed on Twitch’s home page.

This is what got me: Now you can have tits out and twerking, but no longer smoking?

Edit: I personally don't use Twitch nor mind it when nudity becomes more normalised, but as I said in my other comment it's mostly about weed or just smoking a cigarette while doing something else.

Makes sense. Normalizing smoking isn't cool. It's one thing if it's in a movie or TV show, but Twitch has the pretense of being real people who can have parasocial relationships with their fans and influence their behavior. Kids don't need to see or be influenced on that level. At least the nudity or sexuality will be properly labelled.

Personally I was thinking about weed; there's a large community surrounding it and ever since parts of the US started legalising a lot of discussion around it has been popping up.
For example a stream discussing and reviewing different strains could definitely work.

I'd actually watch some streamers if they did it like Getting Doug With High

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Doug the pepper man? Because thats one streamer I wouldnt watch get high, his content is too thought heavy and directed and getting intoxicated would derail the hell out of that

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Getting Doug With High is a podcast by Doug Benson where he invites other celebrities to hangout and get high with him. It's pretty entertaining most of the time.

The first Eric Andre one is really good imo. Eric said he doesn't usually smoke because he had a bad experience when he was younger, but in the episode he gets super baked and asks a random person in the studio for a hoodie, and then he just spends the rest of the time all cozied up in someone's sweater. It's pretty great.

Smoking kills people.

I don't think that's what it's saying given that "sexual themes" is on this list as well. Seems more like they're saying "we're allowing more sexual content if it's properly labeled, but we're going to start keeping those labels off the home page, and while we're at it we'll take off a bunch of other objectionable content"
