That post was flagged for some reason.

Reposting in short order because an earlier post was flagged is not great. If you think flagging is inappropriate, you can email and sometimes the mods will remove and/or disable flags on a post. But “the community has judged it inappropriate so I'll keep submitting it” is not the right avenue of appeal.

Your points are valid, however in this instance the submissions came from different accounts.

Exposing yourself on platform for minors, and somehow you are the victim!

There's isn't even any nudity lol, you're not gonna see any less coverage than you would at the beach. Please take the "won't someone think of the children!" nonsense elsewhere.

Why is researchers in scare quotes? I just checked, both authors have doctorates and have published papers in this field of study.

Because you don't need to research this to see that it's obviously true and has been true throughout history. Really wish Twitch had stayed true to its lewd ban of 2014[0] instead of becoming Chaturbate 2.0. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/2khtqe/twitch_rules...

"you don't need to research this to see that it's obviously true" is actually an incredibly important category of topic to research—because if you're right, then you have documented, peer-reviewed proof of what we believe to be true, which people can cite for writing their own papers...and if you're wrong...well, then, you've demonstrated something novel and possibly opened up a new area of research within your field.

Women exploitinging their sexuality to entice men - even if it has nothing to do with the subject at hand? A story as old as human history... Of course, not all women do it, and not all men fall for it. Nonetheless, it happens literally everywhere.

I think that what you omit is important to add: most viewers if virtually almost all of them are young males. So female streamers, like every streamer, leverage what the viewers are more likely to fall for, in this case, sexualization.

When in doubt, it's because "men".

Sure, sex sells, but no one is forcing them to stream themselves in bikinis for money. It's time to stop blaming every societary ill on men and their biology. In a consensual monetary transaction, there are always two parties.
