This week,Female Hostel 3 streaming platform Twitch introduced Content Classification Labels. These are meant to help streamers label their content when they're doing something "mature." These labels are replacing the Mature Content toggle. Streamers are supposed to use Content Classification Labels when their content contains the following:
Mature-Rated Games
Sexual Themes
Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use
Violent and Graphic Depictions
Significant Profanity or Vulgarity
Gambling
Kissing or licking a microphone falls under "Sexual Themes." According to Twitch's FAQ, "Examples of sexual themes include prolonged or repeated kissing of another individual or object, detailed non-educational discussions of sexual topics or experiences, and content or behavior that is very likely to elicit a mature chat conversation."
SEE ALSO: What is Twitch? Everything you need to know about the livestreaming platformThose who love ASMR will know that repeating kisses on a mic is a classic ASMR move. The FAQ addresses this, saying: "To be more direct — many ASMR practices are focused on mindfulness and are not sexual, but we consider kissing or licking a microphone to fall within Sexual Themes."
Twitch's Content Classification Guidelines reiterate that this act is now considered sexual on the platform. Additionally, hot tub streams and pole dancing will fall under Sexual Themes.
Twitch and ASMR fans had varying reactions about the news on Twitter. Some claim Twitch is sexualizing ASMR:

While others emphasize that it's not all ASMR that will be deemed sexual, only kissing and licking:

Twitch won't suspend streamers for failing to accurately label their streams, the platform stated in the announcement. It will, however, send a warning email and apply the relevant label. If a streamer gets multiple warnings, the label will be applied to their channel and the channel may be locked for days or weeks, depending on the number of warnings.
