That hasn't been my experience at all. I feel like you don't actually use Twitch, but even if you're right it's "tu quoque". Neither party should be showing sexualized content in a space largely occupied by children.

So the entire Internet should be "porn" free?

I said spaces largely occupied by children shouldn't host sexualized content. It's telling that you have an issue with that.

The internet is "largely occupied by children"

Nah man. The parents of said children are 100% responsible for them and have to oversee their internet activity in general.

Censoring everything because "the children!!!" is literally antidemocratic and a great way to censor and spy on everyone.

I have an issue with "do it for the children" mentality as the same mentality is used to press chat control and more censorship on everyone.

Its either for children or against terrorism that costs the internet more and more privacy and rights.

literally antidemocratic

Twitch isn't a state-owned company. 🤷‍♀️ The only vote they care about is the advertiser's.

If you think it's appropriate to allow sexualized content on a streaming service centered around a hobby dominated by children, make your own.
