Are the majority of game-focused streamers "family friendly?" That's not the impression I've ever gotten from twitch or, frankly, from gamers. In a few dozen hours of online gaming I've been called more unprintable slurs than in the entire rest of my life combined.

The majority of streamers aren't slinging slurs, though a lot of the more toxic people also happen to be the more popular streamers. Not sure twitch cares about being family friendly though, sure doesn't seem like it based on their normal moderation decisions
Yeah that's the impression I've always had of it. Which doesn't really fit with OP's insinuation that the only thing preventing it from being generally family friendly is the "camgirls."
