1. Sensitive social issues Bullet points need to be removed, not 'clarified'

   it doesn't matter how much you 'clarify' the point of the final two bullets, they are not fit for the political category especially when contrasted with the other things in the category. Putting peoples rights in there opens up marginalized groups to hate and bigotry. We want the points REMOVED and twitch's response is completely missing the point the community has been making.
   At what point does something go from 'personal experience' to 'too political'? if a streamer talks about their own right to an abortion being taken away where they live, is that personal experience or political? it is entirely subjective. Is a trans person talking about their experiences with HRT 'fact based'? Who determines this? The bigots who will undoubtedly mass report said streamers to shut them up?
   "intermittent mentions of (...) sensitive social issues are not required to have the politics and sensitive social issues label" how long is intermittent? most streamers i watch like to have small conversations with chat about social issues, how long can these chats go on for?
   I don't understand why you refuse to just take out the 'Sensitive social issues' point. It's what the user base is asking you to do and it is the right thing to do.

2. Tags with "TransRights" or similar strings being flagged as against moderation policy

   Hi there. I am a trans man who has been streaming on Twitch for a few years now. Following the opt-out generative artificial intelligence setting, some streamers have reported that they cannot add tags such as "TransRights" or "TransRightsHumanRights" to their streams, as these tags go against Twitch's moderation policy. I have confirmed that I cannot add these tags to my stream.

   This is a haunting and pressing matter. As a streamer, I expect Twitch to be a place where my audience and I can hang out, play games, and make art. For this choice to be made-- surely this is not an error-- is astounding. I am now questioning my relationship with Twitch.

   Your users notice these things.

3. Keep the Maturity Tag *AND* have Content Classification

   I think the new content classification feature is an incredibly useful tool to have. Allowing creators to specify their content and giving an audience the ability to know that a stream may have something that is not for them is great!

   As a streamer who is SFW and doesn't have any content that would fall under these classifications, though, the loss of the maturity tag means that I am losing a valuable feature to keep my community safe.

   Why I don't want children in my space despite being completely SFW:
   It is a LOT of work to keep children safe when you are allowing them in your community. They are inherently vulnerable. Not every content creator is equipped or prepared to take on that burden. Allowing children into your space means that your moderation has to be VERY strict to protect them. Their brains are still developing and you have no idea what passing comment could stick with them forever. Not to mention that regardless of how well you try to curate your community, anyone can watch whisper children privately. It is not something every content creator is prepared to take on. Children are considerably more likely to form unhealthy parasocial attachments to you and not recognize your and this can make enforcing healthy, distant relationships considerably harder. Many streamers are not equipped to take on this burden and used the blanket moderation tool as a way to enforce this boundary.

   Why having the blanket "mature" tag in addition to the content classification labels is the safest option for many spaces:
   I sat in on the Patch Notes today and brought this up. The staff that was there offered a somewhat helpful alternative after clarifying that they are not considering both of these options together. This suggestion was:
   Use the freeform tags as a way to let people know your content isn't for kids.
   While this is helpful in a small way, many people completely miss these tags. Sure, kids may ignore all the messages anyway, but a parent monitoring their kid's watching habits and helping to determine which streams are safe for them may very well not notice a tag-- they WILL, however, notice a message on the screen letting them know that I have set the boundary with my community that it is intended for non-minors (Mature content warning). Removing this ability makes it considerably easier to violate this boundary on accident.

   I know MANY streamers who do not have the bandwidth to dedicate extra resources into moderating with children in mind, communicating with them in a way that doesn't impact them harmfully long term, and doing the extra steps to do what they can to help protect them from predators. In these cases, the blanket maturity tag allows us to easily and clearly set the boundary without risking it go unnoticed by parent OR child.

   How I would suggest implementing this:
   Just have both. The blanket maturity tag wouldn't absolve people of having to specify the kinds of mature content under the new standards for classification. It would just also allow those of us doing our best to keep communities safe by gently keeping children out a much easier time to enforce these boundaries.

   I'm also happy to speak to anybody further about why this is so important to me, or to connect you with other partnered/affiliated streamers who feel the same.

   I think the new content classification feature is an incredibly useful tool to have. Allowing creators to specify their content and giving an audience the ability to know that a stream may have something that is not for them is great!

   As a streamer who is SFW and doesn't have any content that would fall under these classifications, though, the loss of the maturity tag means that I am losing a valuable feature to keep my community safe.

4. Flashing lights label for Content Labels

   I think there should be a 'flashing lights' label on the new Content Classification label system.
   It would be helpful for people with Epilepsy and light sensitivity.

5. Blur Thumbnails for streams with the Sexual Themes tag

   As a streamer and Twitch viewer, I use this platform daily. I personally do not have much opinion on the updated approach regarding Twitch's policies on sexual content and classification labels, and it may benefit some. However, I believe there has been a major oversight when rolling out these changes.

   I am aware that streams marked with the Sexual Themes tag will not be displayed on the home page (logical enough), yet they still show up in other categories. The preview thumbnails even showcasing full nudity (and some potential rule breaks surpassing just "artistic nudity"), while I am just trying to browse the Art or Just Chatting categories.

   I believe that simply Blurring the Thumbnails of any streams marked with the Sexual Themes tag by default when browsing categories on this platform, should be a must. I don't know why, but there is absolutely nothing blurred out for me and it doesn't seem to be a feature either. There are also no functional warnings for me or whatever is supposed to come with the Sexual Themes tag(?). Is it a one and done deal? This is NOT good enough. I do not want to constantly see nudity when I'm trying to look for a SFW artists on twitch, or browse the Just Chatting category. Not to mention this is worrisome with minors being on the platform.

   I humbly request that anyone who agrees with the notion of blurring thumbnails of streams marked with the sexual themes tag by default (possibly with the ability to turn it off and on), votes for this idea and hopefully Twitch will implement this feature. Thank you for considering and I hope that this feedback is well received.

6. Introduction of a NSFW Category in Art

   I'm an active member of the artistic community on Twitch. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation for Twitch's ongoing commitment to providing a safe and respectful environment for all users.

   I would like to bring to the team's attention the possibility of a review of rules regarding NSFW content in the artistic context. I understand and respect the importance of keeping the platform suitable for all ages, but I would like to discuss the possibility of allowing NSFW drawings, as long as they are clearly labeled and limited to the artistic context.

   Art is a crucial means of expression, and many artists on the platform wish to explore more mature and artistic themes without violating the current rules. Introducing a separate category for NSFW art would ensure that this type of content is only accessible to consenting users, without affecting streamers in other categories.
   I would suggest the implementation of a filter or an option to automatically hide NSFW content in categories unrelated to art. This way, it would ensure the separation between NSFW artistic content and content from other categories.

   I have noticed that several members of the artistic community on Twitch share my perspective. Additionally, it's worth noting that there is another streaming platform, Picarto, dedicated solely to art, including NSFW art. Twitch, being the more prominent platform, could draw inspiration from Picarto, both in terms of rules and catering to a broader audience, potentially reducing competition.

   I appreciate the work done by the Twitch team in maintaining a safe and welcoming platform. I hope your consideration of this request contributes to a more flexible environment for artists without compromising the platform's integrity.

   Thank you for your time and attention.
   Best regards,
   Pix_a

7. Automated 'Mature-rated game' content classification labels should be possible to remove for fully family-friendly streams.

   With the new Content Classification system that has come into use today, replacing the mature content setting, there is one issue that I believe should be looked at.

   Fully family friendly streams who are playing limited aspects of a game (such as an MMO) should be able to toggle off the automated label, as the interstitial shown to viewers will discourage viewers who would otherwise be watching said family friendly content.

   For example, I stream the Elder Scrolls Online, which carries an ESRB rating purely for content in quests and dungeons. However, all I stream is housing tours, looking at creative housing builds and discussing how they are made. Under the new system, this is automatically given the 'mature-rated' tag, despite being entirely family friendly, and will likely have a direct impact on viewership.

   As there is a warning system in place for creators who misuse or incorrectly label their streams, could an option to remove automated labels be added, with a pop-up that reminds creators that 'If you fail to accurately label your stream, you will receive a warning via email'?

8. Sexual themes Drawn Children Nudity issue.

   Sexual Themes new classification child nudity.

   Due to the recent content policy update - sexual themed artists are now drying children/lolis naked on Twitch. Absolutely get RID of this. As well as give us the option to block ALL channels using the Sexual Themes tag - I do not want to see a big dog or dragon genitalia on Twitch - that is not why I'm using the platform, I do not want to see nudity - that is not why I'm using the platform.

   I cannot imagine how this went over your heads before releasing this content policy update - kids being drawn naked on your platform absolutely messed up on them and on you, Twitch.

9. Seperate alcohol and drugs classification labels

   I like to drink rum while I stream. It's kind if my thing. Since I drink a couple of glasses of alcohol, twitch is forcing me to add the alcohol classification, which is fine, but why am I now being forced to brand my stream with "Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use" in big letters under my stream?

   I don't want my stream to be associated with drug use. Seperate these labels so people know exactly what they're watching instead of such a broad classification of completely different things.

10. Make Mature Content Fully Opt-In, And Not Show Users It In Browse Who Don't Want To See It

    While I fully support any creator's right to produce whatever content they wish within Twitch's TOS, there are many users who for multiple reasons, do not wish to view Sexualised Content.

    Currently, even if a streamer marks their content with the 'Sexual Themes' tag, I still see thumbnails of them performing sexualised content in my Browse view, and often see a second or two of sexualised content before the 'warning screen' appears. On top of this, I'm also seeing sexualised content in their stream titles.

    I would like to see a default setting in User Preferences where users are asked at account registration whether they'd like to be given previews of Sexualised Content, which users can then choose to opt in or out of. This should be locked out of for any users under 18. This would then mean that an automatic filter 'pre-removes' all Sexualised Content (including in Browsing) for that user.

11. A.I content classification

    With the new generative A.I opt in streamers should have to label if they are opted in or not. This gives viewers and other streamers who want to collaborate more freedom of choice. Opting out for yourself does not guarantee it is in the communities you may find. You should be able to make a more informed choice.

14. No thumbnails for content classified w/ sexual themes on homepage

    When I logged on to twitch.tv today, on the homepage was an NSFW stream thumbnail. When clicking on the stream, the stream is tagged as "Significant Profanity or Vulgarity, Sexual Themes", so Twitch knows it's profane and sexual.

    Yet the thumbnail, which was of a woman with NSFW-amounts of clothing on, was the first thing on the site. There should not be NSFW thumbnails on the homepage of twitch.tv, unless I explicitly click on the stream.

15. Clear and fair rules for bodyartists!

    Just wanted to talk about being a bodyartist and how it has affected me immensely on this platform. Hoping that twitch support can provide fair and non-misogynistic rules for all. As many of you may know many years ago (7+) Twitch has invited the first bodyartist Kaypike to the platform to express art/creativity in a new non-sexual way. But within the past couple years being a body artist and displaying this creativity as a woman has not only come with a lot of hate and poor moderation of the viewers harasssing the streamers but even the guidelines for bodyart has become very unfair. Bodyart is supposed to be a fun creative expression of ourselves and is very EDUCATIONAL! it definitely is not meant to be sexual and I do understand many streamers have ruined that opportunity as of current. But that means that instead of supressing the women doing bodyart without ill-intent, there should be more moderation of the content creators looking to abuse the art of it. Currently the guidelines say that you need the "sexual themes" tag if you are painting your chest and present as a female, which is definitely very sexist if you ask me. Us women cannot change our anatomy at birth and we need more fairness here. I had got a warning from twitch a few montha back becayse I did not want to be deemed as sexual so I thought it was okay to wear a shirt and still do some body art, nope! Apparently wearing a shirt they still saw it as sexual which is not okay? I am painting for the ART and not for sexual enjoyment of the brushes! Would love for more clarification. Not only does this affect us amazing female artists but it also impacts the revenue of Twitch because of the blurred thumbnails and lack of ad revenue. In the pas I can gladly say I have had multiple game sponsorships that loved my bodyart cosplays! The "Sexual Themes" classification of body art to me seems totally wrong and I would love to see what the TOS staff have to say about it. Because as of right now filming twerking/pole dancing or nude statues does not need the sexual tag, but body ART does? It has art in the name and is very educational as people love to watch the process and learn art/cosplay! I would love to feel more welcome on the platform doing what I enjoy! So my idea is to hopefully have more moderation for bodyart but less restriction and no sexual labels as that undermines us as amazing artists! If at the very least please don't consider wearing a top and painting upper chest as sexual. Would love for you guys to rid the rule about needing the sexual tag for presenting women as that seems very unfair/inappropriate. We wear pasties, bottoms and paint! Being a woman should not be a problem. Thank you! Another idea is lessening the blur on bodypaint tagged/titled streams so that viewers can somewhat see the content without full details, and removing the sexual tag. We need to empower the creative community more.

16. Better Content Classification Options (Poss Safety Issue)

    The New Content Classification drop down appeared today and the mature content has been removed. However, The categories need to be developed further and made clearer.

    For example - In my stream I have always put the mature content warning on - not for any specific reason. Occassionally there is some light harmless inuendo as part of the banter (nothing really worse than someone mispeaking something that sounded a bit rude, or someone making a 'said the actress to the bishop' comment.)

    According to the new options, this would mean I would have to label my stream as having 'Sexual Themes' and be labelled in the same way that someone who has content to draw attention to certain body parts and having them take up the majority of the screen.

    It also feels totally unsafe to put a 'Sexual Themes' warning on my stream for light inuendo, as it would almost certainly attract the wrong kind of viewer. Can these labels be further defined with more options asap please?

    I do feel this is about to cause more issues than it will fix.

Occassionally there is some light harmless inuendo as part of the banter (nothing really worse than someone mispeaking something that sounded a bit rude, or someone making a 'said the actress to the bishop' comment.)

    According to the new options, this would mean I would have to label my stream as having 'Sexual… more

17. Please make a definition of artistic nudity on Twitch more clear

    I was happy for new artistic nudity update but didn't expect this site to become full of aroused genitals. Is it still artistic nudity or po***graphy at this point?

    How can a drawing with fully erect, wet genitals be classified as artistic when we all know what is the point of this kind of art? There is a difference between a nude portrait or a naked silhouette and some 18+ anime drawing with characters showing off body in sexual manner.

    And it's the first thing EVERYONE sees when they enter art category.

    If this kind of stuff is okay, can we get some more in-depth classification so I can hide all the rock-hard penises on the site? I don't mind soft nudity and artists learning anatomy.

    Please, specify it for the sake of this site.

18. Clearly not clear

    When content is clearly labelled as "adult content" and "contains nudity" from a pixelated game is banned and yet real humans can display nudity and suggestive posing is not banned, Twitch REALLY needs to reassess their views on societal norms and what is legal.
    

    I was watching my friend, fellow streamer, and a channel I sub to when he got banned for playing a video game (Conan Exiles) because he was dressing his character (was nude) in battle armor- its a cartoon, an animation.
    The moment he was banned in the Twitch recommended for me list was a well known streamer (whom I have never watched) who was completely naked and covered herself in body paint only. This is permitted and a naked cartoon is not?
    The naked in real life streamer had 4,000 plus viewers, my friend who was banned mid stream had 14 at the time. I think it is these numbers that influence who gets banned and who doesnt more than anything else.
    I mentioned I am a subscriber to the channel that was banned. By needlessly banning a channel clearly doing nothing wrong Twitch is denying me a product I have already paid for. I may explore civil litigation options over this.
    So what my banned friend did was set up an account on a different streaming platform where pixelated nudity in a game sold legally isnt banned from broadcasts that in no way showed "sexual content". Nudity is allowed, sexual content is not, which brings us back to the real life naked streamer; her chat was very sexually explicit language. My friend who was banned, his chat was about armor values in combat for what to dress a cartoon character in.
    So twitch, ya lost a good quality streamer today, not the first time and wont be the last unless TWITCH changes its values to reflect that of society and the law, not their bottom line.

19. AI Content Classification

    As AI focused content has been on the rise, such as with AI VTubers, so too do the risks and potential for harm to come from misinformation and improper interaction. Therefore, there needs to be a content classification requirement for AI-focused content on Twitch that can make it apparent that things that are said or endorsed by AI are not an example to follow and that there are different standards and
    There are documented cases (mainly via clips) of on-stream AI saying or suggesting things that would violate community guidelines if said or joked about by human streamers and chatters, so it should be made clear that the statements or behavior they exhibit do not represent appropriate conduct for other areas of the website.

20. Sexual Content Verification and Consent Revision

    With the new Sexual Content and Content Classification rules allowing a greater amount of erotic dances and photography, will there be a way to verify user ages and their consent? I suspect this will need to be revised and implemented, else you could have people coerced into doing erotic dances for subs.
