Black tag
The black community has always deserved representation in every single space that we exist in. There are content creators who feel invalidated because we are unable to find other members of the black community on Twitch, especially during a time that we need to stand as one. The black community deserves representation, validation and acknowledgment. We deserve a black tag so that we can find, communicate and uplift each other.
Please create the black tag.
Hey All!
We have heard your feedback and are really excited to announce that we now have a Black tag on Twitch, along with more than 350 other new tags.

Who and what a creator is is part of their content. Just do it, Twitch. Give us a trans tag while you're in there. Thank you.

As a trans person fighting for the trans tag as well, it is equally as important to have a tag for black creators. Please listen to their voices!

Twitch needs to do better when it comes to uplifting the black community and their voices outside of black history month. A tag is one thing this community has been asking for so long. It shouldn’t take all these measures for one for be made on the website. Please do better.

PLEASE add this tag. Black creators deserve a platform just as much a popular streamers do. This is heavily overdue and this needs to change. We need to uplift one another and be supportive of each other.

This needs to be a thing! Black creators on all social media platforms never get the exposure that they need and are often left in the dark and forgotten!

A tag for Black creators would mean being able find other creators that I share a commonality with. Tracking use of the tag and using that as a focal point for analyzing user data might also allow you to pinpoint racial hate and trolling.

Having a tag specifically for the Black community is INCREDIBLY important to help build connections between streamers, help the growth of representation, and would help viewers find streamers that they can connect with as well as streamers find each other and build safe & supportive communities on Twitch.

As a Puerto Rican and black male I would love the option of being able to have more awareness more emotional understanding and more inclusivity when it comes to the black community in terms of art music gaming chatting anything really if it’s a way where we can move forward with open arms and more acceptance I’m all for it

Adding a Black tag would allow for more discoverability & visibility for Black creators. It would also make it easier for viewers to find streamers whose lived experiences are the same or similar to theirs.
