So... If I'm commissioned to draw furry smut, does that mean I can stream that to Twitch now?

Sounds like artistic nudity to me

I'm troubled by the term "artistic". Who on earth is deciding what is and isn't art?

Seems like an ethical quagmire that's not really worth their time to be wading into, but they seem to be doing so. Perhaps they haven't thought all the implications through.

I do not understand why they don't straight up just make a 18 plus tab and be done with it. Why do they seem to have this moral objection to how they make money? After all I am damn sure the shareholders won't care.

Hmm... I think what determines nudity to be artistic instead of porn is the presence of urns. Yes, if there's an urn you can immediately tell it's intended artistically.

Isn't the main issue not so much what they will show, but what gets monetized or not? There is always going to be a disconnect with this stuff because twitch wants the content that goes viral to be advertiser friendly.
