Please do not permit the racist word S***o
Hi there,
As an IRL fishing streamer - The word S***o is a very common nickname used for Samson fish that I catch (Please just Google Samson Fish nickname, I don't wish to get into trouble). You will find that 99/100 Australians will call it this nickname, probably me being the only 1 who will now only refer to it as Samson. It is going to be very difficult to avoid audio capturing of someone using the nickname for this fish live on my streams, when I engage with random people in public.
This only just came to light recently - I had it brought to my attention that this word is actually well known as a racist slur, mostly in the US, and it does not seem moderated on Twitch's end in the way of banning it from being used in clip titles, being used in Twitch usernames etc.
I have not once used this word in a racist slur context. I have only used the word for this fish, but will now stick to the word Samson and add it to my automod banned words, which I suspect will confuse people, since it is not known well among my Australian viewer base as a racist slur.
If it becomes against TOS to use this word and people are forced to change their usernames, then this may raise better awareness and people will avoid using this word altogether. Thank you.
