Just putting it out there-- I'm a cis woman but do you know how many awkward situations I could have avoided if people could see my pronouns by my name on twitch? Anytime I visit a new channel, most people just call me "dude" or "man" and, just, I don't know. It'd be nice to have the option. When I stream, I'd prefer to gender viewers properly, too.
Inclusivity is great and highly desirable, and I'm obvs all for it! In my opinion, it sort of feels like common sense that it should already be a feature! It's extremely helpful!

@omega_apex128 Just to inform you trolls is part of the internet people are cowards and say **** and think cool but would never do so in real life most of the time. Plus some are most like children who know nothing and most likely shouldn't be allowed on the internet. Also people and the world are crue or that is how I view the world. I try not to cause trouble on the internet and in real life. Like you pointed out it's best not to troll people because you don't know what the other person has thrown. People are ********* it best to irrore them if you can and if not then have your social media very limited like I have done. Also block/blacklist people who give red flags. I've been doing that to a lot of people online. Also one was an online friend or used to be then they got creepy and I tried defecating and then they wouldn't let it go and so I blocked them. Then others are children who don't care and want reactions.

@omega_apex128 I am slowly building my channel as well. I use tags too and I only use them to inform but not to draw attention. But true success on platforms is to put as much as you will to it but keep going. It's never ending to keep and get success. People have put their all out but once they get to what they "want" they quite. There also luck which I honestly don't believe in luck but we all have skills some are not suited to online streaming/content creating. I make them but not skill as I see myself but I do it for fun and have a part-time job I don't have a place yet to do it full time. But if you want inspiration watch Wendigoon's videos and Moco's streams they great people and want to see people grow. But do keep in mind this is not for everyone and if it turns out not to be yours then there are other things in the world for you. Don't give up if things do go well. The world never easy and it never will.

So omega has a slightly bad time over something only tangentially related and doesn't want anyone else to have anything? That's... literally insane. So, the arguments of unrelated things aside, representation is always a good thing.

@zaytri yes that number is still extremely insignificant. Let's look at other times tags have been used across twitch. We talk about inclusivity...I've used the veteran tag and do you know what that got me? Not any new followers because I am a veteran but a whole lot of trolls trying to tell me I have PTSD or my "buddy died overseas" which isn't even true. You add more things to be inclusive and you are only asking for trouble.

Would absolutely LOVE for this to be a standard feature across Twitch!!

Yes! This is very needed!

Also guys we did good at explaining things but we may have been scared of that user even if we are not being mean and nasty. People are cowards to say **** online and never say it to their face and or others in real life those people make me flame.

@RiikkaTheIcePrincess_She_ Your right. But that also the whole world too they honestly don't care for anyone expecting themselves and or their families. I exped it slowly as I grow up and learn it not the hard way from first hand but from second hand accounts. The world, world government, and companies that are huge and small really don't give two ***** about their people. Just accept it because it is true and reality. You can't trust anyone except people who earned yours and hopefully your family, friends, co-workers, your network, and pets. But it doesn't apply to all. Just keep that in mind.

@omega_apex128 if you want to play the numbers game, the creator of the Twitch pronouns extension has already shared that over 320,000 Twitch users have added their pronouns to it. Because it matters to them. Is that an insignicant number to you? Just because this isn't important to you doesn't mean it's worthless.

@omega_apex128 No matter how I look at it, this’s kind of an L take on the topic. Twitch is a source of entertainment, sure, but the other most important thing about Twitch for a lot of people (maybe not you) that you seem to be forgetting about is interaction with other people, and pronoun integration is meant to improve this aspect of Twitch by making the site more inclusive for those who don’t use normie pronouns, and it’s also helpful for normie folks like myself to not accidentally misgender people.
It would be an improvement across the board as far as I can tell, I don’t see any reasons NOT to do it nor do I see how it “takes the focus away from gaming” as you say, but maybe I’m the one not seeing the bigger picture here. \_( ` -`)_/

That said, it’s hard to tell over text but I’m really not tryna start an argument here, I’m just explaining- calmly and rationally to the best of my ability…
why that’s an L take. XD

There are bursts of activity from time to time. I think this occurs when some community finds out about the plugin and wonders why the functionality isn't built into Twitch. (Hot tip: it's because Twitch doesn't care about its viewers at all, let alone those of us who might benefit from pronoun tags)

[Very sarcasm] I guess we can all just quit, though, since omega_apex128 doesn't care. There's your "real interest" right there. Eight times the votes of the second most popular idea on this site practically no one seems to even know about (else why wouldn't /anything/ else have over a thousand votes?) clearly demonstrates that nobody cares. Somehow.

In recent days this topic received a significant grow in comments. Seems like some kind of comment bombing. Im following this discussion since April but it got active only recently. Strange. Keep it in mind while counting „real” interest.

@omega_apex128 I agree with you but that 1% is very loud and vocal (I'm not sure here's the cause. Or is this being loud and vocal. It's hard to tell these days.). That is why most people in all communities are noticed because extremists like being loud and vocal. It's not always a good thing. But I agree on if the person is entertaining or not. But they are also a person you should never for get it unless it says somewhere it's ai. A.I. in itself is fun playing with but don't recommend it replacing real peoples jobs.
But I do think this is important if you find a streamer you like. It help viewers and streamers from being LGBQ phobic less. They still there it just how the world works. But other labels for other things to outside gender would be nice too.

Completely unnecessary. Focus just needs to be put back on the games. I don't care about a person's gender. Are you entertaining? Literally all that matters. I get that less than 1% of the population cares, but it hasn't got anything to do with streaming. Just look at how long it's taken to gather what...4500 votes? That's such a teenie tiny number compared to the user base. Heck even compared to how many partnered channels there are.

This genuinely would be such a good addition. in my browser often times the pronoun add on just doesnt work, so this being fully integrated into twitch itself would be amazing.

Would be great to be part of twitch natively, apart from it just being nice to have that inclusivity easier to give, I can only imagine this making chat more engaging and active.

This is just a quality of life feature for everyone and it would be great for it to have the native support.

Ive been waiting for something like this on twitch officially

This would be a really fantastic feature, and would probably get me to interact with other chatters more than I currently do
