Add an "18_plus" attribute to emotes
Twitch spends a lot of time and resources monitoring/removing emotes. Whether it's responding to reports on "inappropriate" emotes that "violate Twitch guidelines" or declining emotes uploaded by creators, Twitch could reduce the amount of emote management it has to do in perpetuity by creating an 18_plus attribute that could be applied to all emotes. This will give creators the freedom to upload emotes without the fear of violating guidelines that are designed to protect minors from cyber bullying, being exposed to sensitive and/or sexual content.
The addition of an "18_plus" attribute will give Twitch the ability to:
- present a default emote (e.g. heart symbol 💜) in lieu of the creators “18_plus” attributed emote in chat sessions
- remove ability for under 18 (minor) user profiles to see emotes that contain the “18_plus” attribute in their emote menu.
- give ability to 18 + user profiles to toggle on/off emotes with the “18_plus” attribute.
- reduce manual emote management by creating an automated system that adds the “18_plus” attribute to the reported emote as a first line of action. Reported users can be notified that the emote will no longer be seen by minors
- allow for swifter actions on emotes that are truly harmful

Yes! this is what I have been saying, as a lewd/sus streamer with all the appropriate tags I can't have emotes to reflect my community. If I could tag my emote as 18+ so minors can't see but my community could use it in other 18+ streams or mine would be perfect.
