No shirt, no shoes, no service.Uber-popular game streaming service Twitch has made a slight yet impactful change to its rules of conduct. Where once it merely put a big, fluffy blanket over all naughty bits—banning "sexually explicit acts or content," which included "nudity, stripping, or performing/discussing sexual acts"—it's now seen fit to prohibit sexually suggestive clothing as well. The new rules of conduct section includes this:
"Nerds are sexy, and you're all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let's try and keep this about the games, shall we?""Wearing no clothing or sexually suggestive clothing—including lingerie, swimsuits, pasties, and undergarments—is prohibited, as well as any full nude torsos, which applies to both male and female broadcasters. You may have a great six-pack, but that's better shared on the beach during a 2-on-2 volleyball game blasting 'Playing with the Boys.'" Source
This was long over due in my opinion.

This is actually kind of saddening for a good portion of the speedrun community.

Why is it saddening for speedrun community?

*GDQ and CalebHart tend to have a donation incentive to get Caleb shirtless, he's a world record level runner and a bodybuilder, serves as great inspiration for a lot of other runners to y'know.. get more fit. Now he can't.

I suspected this sort of thing was happening, but I had no idea it was until now...
At least this will prevent people from exploiting their body through twitch for money...

Twitchtv needs to ban streamers like kaceytron or remove their partnership. Streamers like her are not the kind of streamers twitchtv should be promoting.
