"Artistic Nudity" is trending on X...

... and it's not because of that Giuseppe Cesari painting they're showing to 10 year olds in France.

It's because Twitch has adopted a new policy, allowing what it calls "artistic nudity," and a lot of people on X feel called to ask what's "artistic nudity"?

I realize I have a more basic question: What's Twitch? I've heard of Twitchy, but Twitch is something else.

Artistic nudity emphasizes form over function.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

It's when you're on the spectrum and take your clothes off in public.

Oh, 'artistic.'

Never mind...

"What is 'artistic nudity'?"

Probably will be interpreted to include a couple of gay guys playing with giant dildoes.

Twitch.tv is a website which allows users to stream a window on yheir computer screen to countless others. It is typically used to let the streamer show their contemporaneous game play (e.g. Call of Duty, Rimworld, Age of Empires, etc.), while viewers can interact or discuss in a sidebar Chat. Aside from game play, a streamer may show them producing art, just chatting about topics, reactions to certain paid-up content, or even blacksmithing.

When I was in high school, the big scandal was the English teacher who smuggled in a tape of Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.

As others have already said, it's a fairly popular user content created live streaming service primarily focusing on video game streaming, but also is really open to just about any other kind of streaming.

I spent a while doing an online theology class on Twitch a few years ago before we moved back to SoCal (and I left the church I was connected to that inspired it).

No nudity in my stream, artistic or otherwise, everyone will be glad to know. But there are some interesting background videos of various places.

I know what Twitch is and that it is quite popular alternative to YouTube, but largely used by game streamers. I've never used it, but now...

Rohan म्हणाले...

Twitch is a live streaming platform, mostly for video games. The person broadcasts themselves playing a game or doing some activity in real time. People watch and comment, also in real-time, so can form a feedback loop.

There's moderate controversy about video game streamers who are pretty young women who dress in a revealing manner.

Magson म्हणाले...

Twitch.tv is a streaming platform. Mostly gaming content, but some other stuff.

It's been billed as family-friendly and has banned several high-profile streamers over the years when they've gotten too "edgy" or risque or whatever.

what's "artistic nudity"

Old Playboy. Final answer.

Take T from Twitter add X and shake it all about and you get the new word: Twitch.

And now Trump can call the Dem’s latest 24/7 Slanders of him a “ Twitch Hunt”

Leland म्हणाले...

I’m not sure a gamer in the nude is what I want to see. Maybe this allows ecchi gaming.

Kylos म्हणाले...

Twitch allows gamers to stream their gameplay to others. This usually includes a camera feed of the gamer along with the game itself. Recently there has been complaints about female gamers appearing to be topless, with the camera keeping just enough offscreen to avoid full topless nudity. Users have been complaining that this is turning the gaming service into a cam girl platform instead.

Jell-O?

Hunter Biden?

Artistic Nudity?

I think we've found our theme!

Jim म्हणाले...

I know it when I see it.

I thought this article was going to revile the speech, but it turned much more aggressive, with a very disturbing legal threat.

Its called wish casting.

Raw pure wish casting. Wishing the dream scenarios might actually be real.

As you accurately stated, if the Biden campaign was doing the same, it would be applauded

Today is a strange day to worry about "in kind" campaign contributions. What with the Biden clan raking in over $30 million, and an official impeachment inquiry is on the books

My oldest daughter is due w/her 1st baby on Jan6th. It’s amazing how many belly shots I’ve gotten throughout her pregnancy. She sent photos today of her professionally taken belly + shots.

I’m telling you- she has no fear! You see, there’s this dress…

Nude colored. Nylon, body hugging material… A good friend on the floor holding the hem lol. Hands strategically, yet, naturally covering soft, full areas ~wink wink~

I figure THAT is artistic nudity.
Absolutely gorgeous, she is.

Twitch is an Amazon product.

Artistic nudity. That's what Potter Stewart couldn't define except by knowing, right?

I had to look up Twitch, too. I'm about as old as AA, and the only video game I've ever played was Pong, when it first came out and cost 25 cents. I was pretty good.

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...

Funny. The post link to the artistic nudity trend on X is all comedy.

It's meant to make fun of people who don't understand artistic nudity vs. vulgarity.

Michelangelo sculpted David's penis for all to see. Are we supposed to be offended?

Are the naked bike parades in Madison, WI artistic nudity? Would they stop the parades if Muslims pitched a bitch?

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

'I know it when I see it.'

Exactly...

dicentra63 म्हणाले...

Twitch also has a 24/7 channel for MST3K, for those interested.

Enigma म्हणाले...

So that means Pokimane and Amouranth are going full Playboy bunny now? Can one produce artistic nudity sitting in a tub full of Jell-O while playing video games? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

It's funny how video game culture became the primary non-woke media source as Hollywood went woke. It's apparently quite natural to be a sex worker. (Parallel to the Althouse post on the segregated Boston holiday party).
