Twitch may have rolled back the policy because it creates an inconsistent application of rules and keeps the platform in a cycle of controversy.

“part of the reason part of the motivation for them to change the rules might have been to just avoid this constant cycle where someone does something to push the boundaries because that's what people do and then twitch would respond often in an inconsistent manner”

Twitch should be more tolerant of nonsexual nudity as it is already common on other platforms and twitch's own branding has shifted away from being strictly gaming focused.

“I think twitch had that reputation and I think that maybe some of that still stays just from people that don't use the platform too much but I think if you're like a twitch person and you're on the platform all the time you're aware that just chatting is like by far the biggest category”
