Pronoun bio field and chat integration

Following up my comment on https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/42218083-pronouns-prefix

It would be great if there were a dedicated Bio field in which we could put our pronouns, and a chat feature similar to the functionality provided by https://pronouns.alejo.io/ to display pronouns right alongside names in chat. This could also be used to populate a tag-like display near the streamer's name.

Tags for streamers are a start, but I'd like to be able to consult someone's bio (if they choose to disclose pronouns) so I can refer to them properly when they're not currently streaming and be able to refer to viewers properly.

    Would really love to see Twitch work WITH Alejo on this, too - community features that *already exist* being folded into the platform are wonderful, but integrating with the community members who led the charge is even better.

    I'd love that as an option. There's several platforms that have a pronouns feature.

    This is a great idea, and it needs to be implemented - but in a way that doesn't hog screen real estate or make chat unreadable, which are the big problems with the extension!
  • saramew commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be helpful to everyone!
  • bethstie commented  ·   ·  Report

    this is so so needed! the alejo extension is great but not always effective - it doesn't format in some chat widgets and moreover it doesn't carry over to OBS where many streamers are likely to be asking chatters for their pronouns as they get to know them. the world and online spaces have shifted significantly in the past few years and this is more necessary now than ever.
  • Ashezth commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely, yes. Put this in twitch for streamers and chatters.

    Please! If people don’t want to use it they don’t have to, but it would be great, and not having to rely on outside workarounds. Other sites do this— why not twitch?

    Yes!!!!! Support your queer community and give us the resources we need! Gender identity matters in the online space more than you know!
  • Spufflez commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be an amazing feature! Tons of other websites already have this, so I feel like it's a no-brainer.

    +1
    this should absolutely be added. i really don't want to accidentally misgender someone,,,,
  • TheRavenDen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes this should 100% be implemented, it would allow for much greater identification especially those who use neopronouns
