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.

    Thank you so much for starting this campaign!

    This would be incredible! Disability Pride month is hardly ever recognised but the extra work that disabled content creators have to put in deserves so much praise and recognition!!

    Representation is key
  • Shyphlosion commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please do this. Representation from every corner of the community is VASTLY important and this is long overdue.

    Push up creators doing everything they can just to keep themselves going and praise them for their accomplishments. This is hard enough for normal people to do, let alone anyone with an obstacle to face internally.

    PLEASE DO THIS, TWITCH.

    I want to see disability lose the stigma that comes with it, please make this a reality to lift up disabled voices!
  • Stereorage82 commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have heard people say, that ableism is like a last frontier. I agree. One way to combat that, is to amplify the voices of disabled people. But I want this to be diverse within the disabled community, we need a wide variety of representation, and methods to destigmatize what it is to be disabled.
