Popular Twitch.tv Streamer Meg Turney

In a move to improve its reputation, popular video game live-streaming service Twitch.tv updated its rules to include a dress code that effectively bans streamers who dress provocatively.

Twitch explains the new dress code on its Rules of Conduct page, saying:

Nerds are sexy, and you’re all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let’s try and keep this about the games, shall we?

The new code forbids bare torsos on both men and women, as well as “lingerie, swimsuits, pasties, and undergarments.”

Popular Twitch user Meg Turney was apparently threatened with a ban if she did not change her scantily clad profile picture. Turney said in a tweet: “I love that this is how people spend their time. I don’t even use the channel! lol”

Finding the situation amusing, Turney started a hashtag on Twitter called #TooHotForTwitch, where her fans have tweeted in support.

Twitch has yet to make any official comment on the policy. At the end of the new dress code rule, however, Twitch joked: “We sell t-shirts, and those are always acceptable.”
