Trainwrecks compares Twitch\u2019s hot tub \u2018meta\u2019 to a Black Mirror episode Twitch: Trainwreckstv\/ xoaerialTyler \u2018TrainwrecksTV\u2019 Niknam has finally weighed in with his opinion on Twitch\u2019s hot tub \u2018meta,\u2019 comparing it to an episode of Black Mirror. Although hot tub streams have become the subject of debate in recent months, hot tub streams are not a new phenomenon on Twitch, and have been used sporadically as a way to get around Twitch\u2019s policy on suggestive attire. Twitch does allow swimsuits to be worn if the context warrants it (such as being at the beach or swimming), and so the hot tub has become a kind of loophole to wear more \u2018suggestive\u2019 outfits. This year it became a \u2018meta\u2019 on Twitch after an increasing number of streamers, mainly female streamers (though not only female streamers), doing frequent hot tub streams. Meanwhile, many streamers who have joined in with the new phenomenon have actually seen incredible growth in the last several months including big names such as Indiefoxx, Faith, and even Amouranth. Trainwrecks gives his opinion Since it became a \u2018meta\u2019, major streamers have weighed in, including Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel who called it the \u201cmost pathetic\u201d thing on the site. Fellow streamer Asmongold has also argued that by allowing the \u2018meta\u2019 to continue, Twitch is contributing to an \u201canti-women sentiment\u201d on the platform \u2013 the majority of Twitch users and streamers are male (by some estimates over 65%). Now, Trainwrecks has also weighed into the debate for the first time since it began in early 2021, although instead of employing any strong words for or against it, he merely compared it to the popular British dystopian TV series which presents a glimpse of the future based on extremes of already existing concepts in the modern world.
