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.

I would like built in integration, in line chat pronouns please and thank you! This would be a gesture of solidarity with all minority genders on twitch and I would really appreciate it thanks for your time.

Add pronouns as an option to include next to chat usernames if the viewer set them up in twitch settings.

@ninjat_rexarmy you don't ACTUALLY need to use twitch at all. twitch also has more than one employee and they can work on different things.

@ninjat_rexarmy just because you don't need or care about it doesn't mean nobody does. It actually is important for many to feel better included and less marginalized.

I would love a 1st party implementation of this! It can be hard to get people to adopt 3rd party browser extensions

Integrating pronouns in order to create visibility and comfortability should not only be normalized but required.

would love to specifically see this with neopronoun support - don't just go he, she, they and any, but also ze/hir, xe/xir, etc. "Other" or "Ask Me" at the VERY least.

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.

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.
