Disabled tag request
Disabled gamers often face more or different hardships than abled streamers do. There are so many amazing users on Twitch who are disabled, and they deserve a "disabled" tag. Disabled streamers need a way to find each other and weave our communities together, and disabled viewers need a way to find streamers they want to watch and connect with.
Hey All!
We’re really excited to share that not only have we added a “Disabled” tag, but we have also added more than 350 other tags to Twitch. If you feel we missed anything pertinent, please let us know.
For more information, you can take a look at our blog post at https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/26/celebrate-yourself-and-your-community-with-350-new-tags/. Please continue to share ideas and feedback you have to UserVoice!

This would be very important to me, I'd love to find people with my experiences to support and hang out with. Tags like these help build communities where people can find relief from the outside world and make quality friendships. In case it is an obstacle, disabled is not a bad word and is how I've seen pretty much every disabled person self identify.

A disabled tag is an extremely necessary identity tag to add to twitch. It would allow disabled folks to find each other, share meaningful connections, and build communities. It would also help people who are not disabled find and support the disabled community.

The point of tags is to find content you want. Many folks in marginalized communities want to see content made by people like them. This helps them find it.

Everyone could use tags/teams at one point, till they made them partners only. I know this because we used for my IBD gameathon. It was easy for viewers to find all the streamers that year.

The best part of Twitch is finding your community, with a disabled tag it would help disabled creators and build their community faster, bringing more people into the app and keeping them watching. Disabled isn't a dirty word, let people build community including their disabilities.

Stop Denying Minority groups a way to connect with each other. Disabled tag now, Trans tag now, Black tag now! Stop being racist, prejudiced, and Ablest and just help people that need a way to connect. Why are Chat message colors a higher priority to your company???

Signed both petitions, not disabled myself but I recognize there is a need for communities, especially those facing oppression to connect with each other. Support the black tag, the disabled tag and the trans tag to show Twitch we are here and we matter too.

Someone added another one located here: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/43221579-disabled-disability
This one has the most votes though, but if you signed can you sign the other too.
Would be great if they could all be merged into one big one!

SirenHellVixen commented
There is another one asking for support here from last year with over 400 votes!
Would be better for all the votes in one place surely for a higher number?
Could it be merged?But please sign both anyway

as a disabled creator, it means a lot to me to support other disabled creators. i'd absolutely love being able to easily find others!!

Implementation of a disabled tag would mean being able to raise awareness and connect with other disabled creators. Disabled creators face difficulties that able bodied creators don't and being able to connect with others and find eachother more easily would be great.
Disabled isnt a bad word and this would be a step in the right direction of raising awareness about that and helping viewers to find creators they identify with and have similar experiences with.
