Twitch’s new meta has creators streaming on boobs and butts
Twitch's Community Guidelines are quick, but you can bet that savvy streamers are quicker. Whether it be stripping off in hot tubs, flexing in yoga pants, farting in jars, or using fake nudity bars, Twitch has always been on the back foot when it comes to tackling potentially NSFW content.
While the days of Twitch being a place to stream games are long gone, the platform has developed a sometimes questionable reputation for what it allows to be shown. The problem is, every time Twitch introduces a new rule, someone finds a clever loophole that lets them exploit it. The latest is a doozy
Twitch streamers are playing with boobs and butts
Yes, you read that right. Twitch is facing its latest viral meta, as content creators are reportedly streaming on boobs and butts. As highlighted by Kotaku, a growing number of streamers are using green screen technology to project their content onto unexpected areas of their body.
Chances are that those going to adult film star Morgpie's channel know what they're in for. Still, we've got to hand it to her for cleverly circumnavigating Twitch's guidelines in a March 12 stream that projected Charles "MoistCr1TiKaL" White's YouTube video on the evolution of Twitch onto her backside.
Morgpie's stream was clearly a hit, as on March 14, she offered her subscribers another video that saw her partake in some cardio and then project Fortnite gameplay onto her rear. While there's technically nothing wrong with this, we're not sure Epic Games would be happy that its family-friendly game is being used in this way.
Morgpie kickstart the boobs and butts Twitch trend
Although Morgpie's original stream was tagged for sexual content, she's wearing all her clothes, and it likely isn't considered 18+. However, this is just the start of the meta, as others have soon jumped on the boobie bandwagon.
VTuber Rubee has been showing gameplay on their anime chest, others have been projecting onto thighs, and Lottie Spacebuns is playing VALORANT on their entire body. Some big names have spotted the meta, and even Hasan "Hasanabi" Piker has been lifting weights with Fortnite on his ass (although it appears to be a Photoshop).
Everyone has their supporters, and with one fan telling Hasanabi, "If you did this I would legit subscribe for a year," it could be a lucrative trend. Morgpie is no stranger to controversy on Twitch, and as usual, there are the typical grumbles that the platform has 'lost its way.' While the trend will likely be forgotten before long, we've got to admire Morgpie for her ingenuity on this one.
