The lesser known (maybe direct-to-video?) third movie in the From Dusk Til Dawn series features Ambrose Bierce, so maybe he’s immortal or something.

“There are plenty of other theories—Traven was...Ambrose Bierce, who disappeared in Mexico in 1913 (and would have had to have lived to 127 to have written all of Traven’s books)“

Further down the wormhole always reads like the first five minutes of a Simpsons episode.

By today’s standards, B. Traven’s books were most definitely overtly political and very socialist in their leanings. Which is great of course. I once talked to an old indigenous woman in Chiapas who met him in the 1930's and referred to him as “El Americano”. The story of B. Traven/Ret Marut/Hal Croves/.../.../.../ is…

Ah, but what was the advice? If it was about how to use nerve agents on ethnic minorities, that may not really be something worth mentioning...

Saddam apparently offered life advice to his guards which they actually listened to

How bad a person does it make me that all I’m thinking about now is one of Saddam’s books illustrated by Dubya?

if the parents were trying to protect their kids, their kids would have been unable to A, get a hold of their card, and B, look for nearly naked women on the internet in the first place. if the parents wanna bitch, they should do their damn jobs first.

your nuts are not the same as her breasts. your nuts are inherently sexual and meant for the specific purpose of having sex. her breasts are by nature meant for feeding offspring and had nothing to do with sex until humans decided to sexualize them. one is not equal to the other. its a bad comparison and you know it. n…

Yes, what constitutes nudity is stated clearly in the rules. It's even in the article above. It's genetailia, nipples, and the buttocks. If a body painter is wearing pasties and has some type of bottom on, the shouldn't be breaking the nudity rules. Legally, a person could walk down the street in New York City wearing…

You missed a fact: they’re not streaming nudity. There’s so much coverage they’re as covered as if they were clothed. Don’t be a moron, it’s not cute.

Panties and nipple pasties are enough to keep the average nudity laws at bay. You’re not exposing genitalia or nipples, you don’t get arrested. Bikinis are a very close second on this, in that they’re likely covering even *less* of the wearer’s body, but are considered ‘not naked’ legally by any standard.

This. Abso-fucking-lutely. How is it not harassment?  I mean, holy shit. Every time I hear about something like this, I simply can’t get my head around how Twitch has allowed the report system to be turned into a tool for harassment.

I’d go one step further. If Twitch investigates a mass reported channel and finds nothing wrong, they should lifetime ban every single person who reported the channel during the mass reporting period, on the grounds of harassment and trolling.

You can’t blame them though. Yes, Twitch has always had the nudity rule. Then they came out and said yes you can body paint as long as said body parts are covered with paint and it would not be considered sexual or nudity. Never was interested in body painting, but I have seen the work of the person who got banned…

It’s actually pretty interesting to watch an artist at work (or to have it running in the background and to glance over on occasion). The artist behind the re-drawing of One Punch Man, Yusuke Murata, used to stream regularly when he would draw the 100+ page chapters; I’d jump in every once in a while and leave it on…

You speak of equality but you’re conflating boobs with genitals which are most definitely not close to the same thing when it comes to censorship and you know it.

I’ve not watched any of the bodypainting streams, and it’s possible they’re a little different, but I have watched videos of people drawing or painting in the past, and while, yeah, it is kind of boring, it’s also very soothing kind of a background noise, and when you bother to pay attention, it’s pretty art.

“This is hurting the men streaming videogames!" screams the neckbeard

Gotta say I would have never expected body painting to be something popular on twitch tbh, seems kinda boring to watch. In any case I don’t see why people would be mad at this for reasons that don’t include misogyny so fuck those people.
