While I can see this being annoying to streamers, it seems like a net positive overall. I’d be interested to hear the perspective of someone who’s vehemently against this, to help me understand why.
Certainly not “vehemently opposed”. But I can imagine issues arising where streamers make less money when streaming mature content. For example, I think youtube requires signing in to view certain adult videos. Will this be the same for twitch? If so, that could result in less ad revenue for the steamer.
My guess is that people who are against it are expecting to make less money because advertisers will be able to say they don’t want to be on streams that are labeled “x”.

Why would this be annoying to streamers? Honest question, I’m not a Twitch user.
Would it be the softcore porn “gamer girls” being called out separately from eg. horror games?
There is a difference between gamer girls playing horror games and professional models licking audio testing equipment for hours on end.
