Several big streamers have defended the practice, with Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter saying she \u2018doesn\u2019t see the issue\u2019 with hot tub streams. On the other hand, Malena Tudi criticized d Twitch for potentially creating a \u201cwhole different type of reputation\u201d by allowing the use of exposing clothing on their platform. In light of this controversy, Twitch added a brand-new \u201cPools, hot tubs & beaches\u201d category to its website on May 21, drawing praise from some parts of the community. However, other parts of the community have criticized Twitch, claiming they haven\u2019t fully addressed concerns. A vocal critic of hot tub streams, Yabbe passionately voiced her strong opposition to the creation of this new category, which she believes \u201cundermines\u201d her status as a streamer. \u201cWhy do you not care Twitch? Is it because I don\u2019t have a kid\u2019s pool in my living room? Do I not matter because I\u2019m not naked? Holy s*** get a grip already. You are f***ing over every woman on this platform who is not using onlyfans as a stepping stone into an early retirement. You are pissing me off.

Twitch has shown again and again that they are inept at having a website like this,\u201d she said on her May 21 stream. \u201cThey have no management, they have no PR, they have no people to talk to their creators.\u201d Yabbe also threatened to quit the platform and take up an offer to stream for Facebook Gaming, but stated her reservations behind doing this. \u201cI have been here for so long, I am so invested. I love this community, I love these streamers, I love chat, I love everything about it,\u201d she added. Yabbe also spoke out on Twitter, where she pleaded with the platform to act. She said: \u201cYou acknowledged hot tub streams etc are harming the women on your platform who are not sexualizing themselves\u2026 Why not act?\u201d This is embarassing @Twitch you had the chance to do better but missed the mark completely.https:\/\/t.co\/VdS498YdVi You acknowledged hot tub streams etc are harming the women on your platform who are not sexualizing themselves or using Twitch as a onlyfans promotion, why not act?\u2014 Yabbe (@ImYabbe) May 21, 2021 In the announcement, Twitch said, \u201cbeing found to be sexy by others is not against our rules, and Twitch will not take enforcement action against women, or anyone on our service, for their perceived attractiveness.\u201d Even though Twitch has finally acted on hot tub streaming, it seems unlikely that the controversy will disappear anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
