A person’s very existence is NOT a “sensitive social issue”.

I'm a queer POC and it's wild to be classified by faceless, nameless entities that my existence is a political issue that needs a content warning.

This needs to be removed, point blank period or at the very least amended properly to protect we LGBTQIA+ streamers. Even your biggest streamer on the platform is unapologetically a LGBTQIA+ ally and streamer. So you're honestly hurting yourself as a business making such a move and can you afford to lose even more money? And that's before we even talk about how insensitive it is to trivialize people wanting the right to be who they are. To feel safe being themselves and aren't hurting anyone at all? This is a very dangerous mistake and I implore all at Twitch and Amazon to rescind this. This will destroy any headway your company has made with supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. I like being on Twitch and I don't wish to have to consider finding another place for my community.

This is disgusting and appalling! I should not have to be labelled because people out there don't believe that as a LGBTQ+ individual I don't deserve to be treated like a human being! I should not have to sensor who I am for the comfort of others who want to erase mine and my community's existence!! This clause should be removed. We as HUMAN BEINGS are not "sensitive social issues". We should be allowed to discuss our right to be treated equally and our experiences, these discussions are NOT sensitive, they are needed.

The experience of being queer or an immigrant isn't "political" and shouldn't need what amounts to a content warning. Troubling change from Twitch as a Partner.

Advocating for one's right to exist in the world is not a "sensitive social issue" and labeling it as such just increases the risk of people belonging to certain groups (LGBT-people, ethnic minorities, etc) being stigmatized and marginalized even more than they already are.

Advocating for your right to exist without persecution or discrimination is not controversial and shouldn't be need to be tagged with a specific label.

Talking about subjects that can potentially help people (gender, disability, mental health, etc) should not be a punishable act.

Honestly, our existence should never be considered a 'sensitive topic'.

Existing is not political. This guideline is hurtful to marginalized communities

Our existence is not political. To claim otherwise is to spit in the face of the very same creators that make you money. You should be ashamed that this even crossed your minds.

Disabilities, chronic illness, LGBTQ+, Mental health are absolutely not sensitive issues. It should no be against TOS to exist on this platform.

My LGBTQ+ friends existing isn't something to hide nor politicized. I love them all, new and old for who they are. They never have a reason to ever be ashamed of that, nor should they. This policy is repugnant and gross towards everyone it effects. This should be repealed and Twitch needs to be vocal and apologize for putting this forward.

Hey twitch mind giving some clarity on this? My friends existing shouldn't be against TOS :/

I should be able to talk about facets of my life that heterosexuals also experience and can freely discuss. This is not an act of politics, but just existence.

Our existence is not political. Trying to be a centrist in this instance only allows for more and more hate to be left unchallenged, and for it to creep into other aspects of our society. Look no further than so-called "unbiased" news that perpetuates a both sides argument which further drives people to be bigoted and support people who want my life to be punished.

Simply expressing your harmless identity shouldn't be punished, and only proves that freedom of speech as we know it is not possible. Please if you're gonna make this against those who are speaking against harmless expression like trans rights and human rights in general, reflect on that, or revoke this clause.

the fact that i exist isnt up for debate, you dont need a trigger warning telling people that i am a woman, this is insane. genuinely. especially when our society wants to strip us of our rights, we should be allowed to discuss these things without being seen as nothing more than some taboo topic. we are human beings. treat us as such

Existing as a queer person is not a "sensitive social issue" and wanting the same rights, especially the right to bodily autonomy is not some controversial thing. This post doesn't mention it directly but discussion of gender should also not fall under "sensitive social issues". As it stands, saying "women should have the right the vote" would be placed behind this proposed label and that is nonsensical.

Nothing says being inclusive better than forcing labels on people for no reason.

Wait sorry, I dropped the 'un-', which is a prefix to be applied to many a things Amazon and Twitch.

This sort of targeted attack has no reason to exist in these kinds of documents other than the cowardice of its writers. Remove the bullet point, and be some have modicum of decency.

This is *** covering, plain and simple.
Bezos wants to be safe if Trump wins and not get broken glassed when he gets into office.

Please remove the "ideological" wording on the 5th bullet point on article VII, and remove LGBTQ+ from the 6th bullet point, all in Article VII. While I can see it is intended to provide protection against people ranting against us in that space, it's also written in a way that just casually discussing that we're LGBTQ+ could be used as justification for reporting us.
