Twitch To Ban Users For 'Hate' on Other Platforms (bbc.com)
Twitch has updated its guidelines so that abuse taking place on other platforms can contribute to a suspension on the streaming site. From a report: Directing "hate or harassment" towards someone on Twitch using other services will be considered a policy violation. Conduct Twitch deems "hateful" on any platform will result in an "immediate indefinite suspension." Sexual conduct rules have also been changed to consider the "context" of a stream. Moderators will pay attention to clothing, the title of a stream, camera angles and chat moderation when deciding whether something is sexually inappropriate.
This should cut down on the instances of female gamers with suspiciously low cut tops and suspiciously high camera angles.
Twich, not Twitter. You are my brother, but you need to learn to read the headline!
If insulting a world leaders was seen as a violation of this policy, pretty much anyone who posts about politics would be muted.
Son of a.
Yep. I was wrong. Apparently I can't even read TFH these days.
Nothing else. I was wrong.
It is OK. Soon AI will take over the world and all of your problems will disappear.
Good thing there's no disagreement on the internet what the definition of hate speech is and the benevolent overloads over at twitch will adhere to the strict definition and show no cultural or PC bias in how they dole out justice.
Another platform about to be ruined by PC hysteria.
They have their own BADSITES policy meaning if you talk bad about the power hungry admins on another site they will ban you.
We really, really shouldn't shed light on the world of text chat and voip in online gaming.
All you're gonna find is a toxic anti-world where we act in ways we're nothing like in RL and there's a periodic appearance of a squeaker using a surprisingly well-versed foul mouth completely inappropriate for their level of life-experience. I always ask them to put their hot single mom on the headset.
Squeakers, the Easter Eggs of online gaming.
Some people would be more turned on by seeing a bare foot than a full nude wearing socks. Good luck determining what is sexual content. Also hope no one streams the Witcher or Mass Effect series. A whole lot of boning goes on in those games.
Admittedly, I read it wrong too... And was wondering why they were talking about streamers on Twitter. Which I think is even worse, since I use Twitch more than Twitter.
Sometime soon in the near future, everyone will be banned from everything for something they did that one time, that ultimately, no one gives a shit about.

Well...maybe Twitter will decide to look at their users' activities on Twitch to decide whether to ban them.
It's obvious you've got a hard-on for Trump's side boob as much you rant and rave all day.
The things you hate the most are really the things you love the most aren't they?
You mean Pence?
You are welcome on my lawn.
Whoops ... an institutionalized double-standard.
They're not being removed from Twitch for sexual assault. You're really oversimplifying things here.
Ok, the rules are very simple.
1. You don't assault women.
If a woman is dressing inappropriately that can be called out, however it isn't an excuse to assault women.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
This would be less troublesome if Hate had not become synonymous with
Conservative opinion
Religious opinion
Liberal opinion
Biology
Logic
Statistics
Independent thought
The only thing you can say these days that is not considered hate speech is up-to-the-nanosecond left wing (not liberal) PC group-speak.
If a woman is dressing inappropriately that can be called out
No, it can't. Watch out, or you'll be sent to the SJW reeducation camp..
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
Sorry. I don't need Twitch, or anyone else Big Mother'ing me on every platform I happen to use.
Additionally, I'm not going to subscribe to a moving target like the chimera that is "Hate".
No.
If that means I don't use their shit, I don't use their shit. Fuck them.

THANK GOD!!!
Well played, sir.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
So you can assault men?
Your rules suck.
Welcome to the PC Police folks. Now anything "bad" you say, think, do, display, endorse, allow, don't challenge, or otherwise are in any associated with is reason to hang you out to dry everywhere forever in a fit of righteousness.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain who decides what and when something is bad with very little 'why' involved. Oh crap...I mean person of unknown gender located in a region generally near an item of environmentally friendly, non-GMO, vegan cloth-like covering which may or may not be protecting their privacy or identity as it best suits them.
You can get rich if you own a politician, but you have to be rich to buy one in the first place.
Censorship is terrible. To think otherwise is baffling, what went so wrong to encourage your kind of mind set?

If it's wrong for SJWs to criticise slut shaming, why is it okay for you to criticise criticism of slut shaming?

Because SJWs don't exist. It's the same reason why it's not OK to make movies where hoards of black people/women/French people/etc attack and are gunned down, but it's OK to have zombies in that role.
SJWs are more or less a figment of the average alt-righter's imagination. That's why they call people SJWs and then describe things SJWs supposedly do that the people they called SJWs would never do in a million years. Being fictional beings, it's absolutely fine to treat them as the enemy and attack them. It's just a shame people who do keep mixing them up with, you know, ordinary people who believe women should be treated as human beings, and black people probably shouldn't be killed for reaching for their driver's licenses.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
So, you're accusing the 'average alt-righter' of generalizing about the people they disagree with and promulgating stereotypes about them.
Huh.
That depends on which feminist you ask.
Twitch is where dorks go to watch other play video games.
Yeah. People actually do that, for some reason.
All hail private property - Big Corporate Brother we love you - MOAR CENSORSHIP NOW!!!!!!
I've noticed that a lot of conservatives get labelled as SJWs now. It really is a completely meaningless phrase.

So if you stare at the harassing article, whose harassment wins the case? Or is the company fucked on both fronts?
People can get turned on by fucking door knobs.
Is a door knob still a door knob if it's not on a door? Just that if it's on the door there are some logistical challenges here.
