Add Disability Month Front Page Features

Twitch does an excellent job curating teams and featuring marginalized creators on the front page during identity based pride months. However, I've never seen one of these happen for disabled creators which I believe is a big missed opportunity.

Being a content creator as a disabled person adds a whole host of additional challenges, such as navigating algorithms that favor consistency with inconsistent bodies. Finding games and programs that are accessible for us for streaming, etc.

I would love to see Twitch uplift the hardworking disabled creators by also hosting a Disability Pride Month and highlighting disabled creators the way they do with Black History Month, AAPI month, LGBTQIA+ month, etc.

    Absolutely. Give creators a chance to create their own spaces with their communities. This is purely value added for those that need it

  • RobbinRidunk commented  ·   ·  Report

    There are so many amazing disabled content creators out there that deserve just as much attention as any other big streamer. Please give more attention to people with physical and mental disabilities, because we ARE out here.

    disabled folks often are excluded from the narrative when we discuss marginalized communities and twitch is the perfect place to highlight and uplift these creators. there are intersections from all walks of life who are disabled and offer different perspectives and you'll always find their streams are the most imprint at thing: safe and accessible. give disabled creators a month!

    As someone who is disabled I absolutely LOVE the idea of something like this but I also know how cruel and hateful people can be too so it also makes me super nervous.

  • Nicklez01 commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be great, as I myself look for others with disabilities who happen to stream to see what they go through. Help make us more visible!
  • SirKatelyn commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see this!!!!! We need all the representation in our community!
  • PrincexCalamity commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would absolutely love to see this! Representation is so important and it can only make the platform better <3
  • Zephiie commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see this~!

    Disabled streamers having Twitch as an accessible (hopefully to an increasing degree) platform is something that should be celebrated. I hope to find and meet others should this come to fruition :D
  • shadow_patriot commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be awesome there are tons of disabled gamers that should be featured big and small creators

  • goodmornindreamer commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be so amazing. Also even doing something for specific months in the disabled community such as Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month in April, etc. <3
  • itsjustmedottie commented  ·   ·  Report
