Streamer QTCinderella initiates a discussion about how women present themselves in “Hot Tub Streams” on Twitch in swimsuits to fans. This negatively affects their own streams, says QTCinderella. Because people come into her chat and expect to see her half-naked.
This is what the streamer says: QTCinderella is a medium-sized streamer on Twitch with close to 300,000 followers. She sometimes plays chess, sometimes GTA 5, and sometimes the mobile MMORPG “Blade & Soul Revolution”, but most of the time she is in “Just Chatting”.
There she explained in a stream what bothers her at the moment: “Hot Tub Streams”: In these, female streamers film themselves in swimsuits in an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and talk with the viewers.”
The Twitch streamer QTCinderella says:
Just because some female streamers do this, it puts other female streamers in a situation where they experience bullshit. It really annoys me.
I completely support that everyone earns their bread here. Really, I’m all for it: “Yes, queen, you can do the hot tub stream, but please not on Twitch. Because it brings me trouble. Because then people from your chat come, after seeing your hot stuff, into my chat and want to see mine. But we don’t do that here. It’s so frustrating.

Streams in the tub circumvent Twitch’s nudity rules
Which streams does she mean? Twitch has clear rules against nudity: Men and women are not allowed to show certain body parts unclothed and actually, one should not just stream in underwear. Otherwise, you violate the rules and risk a ban.
The streamer Swebliss complained in 2020 that she was banned just for a transparent black top, because the bra could be seen underneath.
However, it is okay to stream in a swimsuit if the occasion calls for it. This is “contextually okay”: Swimming and beach outings are explicitly listed as exceptions where the dress code is relaxed. And somehow splashing in a tub apparently counts as “swimming”.
Therefore, there is the trend of “Hot Tub Streams”, where female streamers film themselves in swimsuits in a hot tub and talk with the fans.
Such frivolous clips from the outdoor pool reach 100,000 viewers on Twitch: The streamer Indiefox in the clip runs an OnlyFans account (via twitch). And that’s exactly the point.
Twitch as a showcase for “18+” accounts on OnlyFans
This is what it’s really about: QTCinderella says, “Go ahead, but don’t do it on Twitch.” She means that female streamers who stage such “Hot Tub Streams” often use Twitch as a promotional tool to advertise their actual content, which they charge for through services like “OnlyFans”.
Because some female streamers who present themselves quite revealingly on Twitch in such “Hot Tub Streams” also operate accounts on “OnlyFans”, where there are then “18+” contents.
The accusation against female streamers is: Twitch, Twitter, or Instagram only serve as a showcase to draw viewers’ attention to the influencers: they earn “real money” through content behind a paywall like OnlyFans.
This is currently criticized by viewers who wish for Twitch to be a platform that focuses strongly on gaming.
QTCinderella says female streamers could definitely do “Hot Tub Streams”, but please not on Twitch:
This practice was particularly evident with streamer Missbehavin, who filmed a strip performance for her “OnlyFans” and completely undressed during the live stream, but the strip performance intended for OnlyFans accidentally streamed live on Twitch for everyone.
