Page-Turners and pectorals: Twitch’s Drag Queens Take on Topless story time

Drag Queen Story Time Hour Makes a Topless Twitch on Twitch!

In a flamboyant fusion of literature and gaming, Twitch has announced the launch of its new “It’s OK to be Topless” policy with the Drag Queen Story Time Hour. The latest addition to the platform’s content lineup will feature a variety of drag queens reading classic children’s books while simultaneously playing popular video games—sans shirts.

The inaugural stream set the bar high, with the illustrious Miss GlitterBomb captivating audiences by reading “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” while expertly slinging avian projectiles in Angry Birds. Children and adults alike were entranced as Miss GlitterBomb narrated the tale of Whoville with one hand, while obliterating pig-built structures with the other.

“This is about teaching kids the importance of multitasking and body positivity,” said Miss GlitterBomb, adjusting her oversized, bedazzled reading glasses. “Also, who doesn’t want story time with a side of slingshot action?”

Critics of the program have voiced concerns about the appropriateness of topless entertainment for a young audience. In response, Twitch released a statement assuring that all sensitive areas would be covered with artful book placements and strategic camera angles. “Think of it as a very interactive game of peekaboo,” the statement read.

Some parents, however, were quick to express their support. “I’ve never seen my kids so eager to read,” exclaimed one mother, who asked to remain anonymous. “And I appreciate the body diversity message, even if it’s delivered by a half-naked, wig-wearing icon.”

The library community has offered mixed reviews. One local librarian, who insisted on wearing a cardigan during our interview, remarked, “I’m all for innovative literacy initiatives, but I’m not sure if Dr. Seuss ever envisioned the Grinch being upstaged by glittery pectorals.”

Amid the controversy, Twitch remains committed to the educational program, hinting at future readings that include “Charlotte’s Web” during a “Spider-Man” playthrough and “Goodnight Moon” paired with “Moonlighter.”

“We understand that this is a bold step,” a Twitch spokesperson said, “but just like the Grinch’s heart, we believe there’s room for growth and acceptance. Plus, our audience retention numbers are through the roof. It turns out topless drag queens are surprisingly effective at holding attention.”

As Drag Queen Story Time Hour continues to gain traction, Twitch is preparing for a full schedule of topless, literary livestreams. “Who knew that the path to promoting literacy and gaming would involve a little bare chest?” mused Miss GlitterBomb, turning the page and launching another bird into the digital ether. “Remember, kids, whether you’re a Who down in Whoville or a bird with a vendetta, it’s always OK to be yourself—topless or not.”
