      There are tons of streaming sites for sex workers. They long predate Twitch even. Probably most streaming sites are made exclusively for sex workers.

      I just apparently mistakenly thought Twitch was for gaming instead.

      Unless the suggestion is that we should destigmatize porn until it's on the same level as other media?

        I mean they've got non-gaming categories now, and have been making the push for more general purpose streaming ("Just Chatting", music, IRL, etc.) to capture that market. Content like this "ASMR" stream technically falls under that category.

        The problem is both that 1) Twitch/Amazon makes a boatload from these channels and 2) cracking down on "lewd" content like this is hard due to subjectivity on what lewdness is. Sure, this is pretty flagrant, but I don't want to see other creators getting booted because they decided to wear a low cut top for today's stream.
