> especially considering the ways that female characters are sometimes objectified or presented in a sexualized manner
Probably the most interesting and persuasive case they have. What if a human being dressed like League's Evelynn, a succubus? Would they be banned from Twitch? No, of course not. Would it be sexually suggestive? They've illuminated how disingenuous of a question that is, because Evelynn is a character in a game people stream.
A perhaps relevant anecdote: I interviewed at Twitch many years back and it happened to be on Halloween. My recruiter was dressed up as some league of legends character - perhaps Ahri (she had a tail and animal ears). It was not strictly western business casual but clearly it was not notably outside Twitch’s cultural norms.
