Certainly not "vehemently opposed". But I can imagine issues arising where streamers make less money when streaming mature content. For example, I think youtube requires signing in to view certain adult videos. Will this be the same for twitch? If so, that could result in less ad revenue for the steamer.

Don't they already have to tag mature content as such? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation, I thought they currently had a "Mature" tag that encompassed all of this, and this is just breaking it out into individual tags for e.g. bad language, violence, and nudity, so they can be more specific about the nature of the mature content.
