You could make similar arguments about gambling being a moral panic and they shouldn't ban that on the site. Selling sex to kids is just as exploitive and repugnant. Maybe selling violence to them is too. You'll eventually find a line to draw for something being a vice, even if you don't think this is it.

    Now you're equating violence and gambling to sex? Sounds like you're doing exactly what I described in my comment. Equating sexuality with filth and disease.

    Yes, there will always be people who do their best to exploit base desires (especially in our current economic systems), that doesn't mean what they use to exploit people is inherently bad. Maybe if we stopped trying to hide sexuality under the carpet like dust bunnies when your mother-in-law visits it wouldn't be nearly as exploitable.

    I think the fact that it is exploitive should ban it. I don't particularly view twitch as the vanguard of a sexual revolution. I view it as a profit extracting arm of a megacorporation. It's explicit selling sex to kids. It shouldn't be normalized. You could argue that sex should be normalized, but exploitation (particularly in a sexual context) of children should not be.

    I mean yeah, banning gambling is weird as fuck and just creates black markets
