Absolutely ridiculous that my existence as a queer person would be considered explicit content.

no words...
restricting the talk about certain groups only because some politicians made people devided over it for the same old strategy to get votes by having a scapegoat for all perceived problems and for them to appear like the solution and get in power.
Like these politicians don't even need to establish censorships by themselves anymore.

People should be allowed to discuss topics like these, and come to a conclusion between themselves.
Like this you are just creating more isolated bubles where people will grow more and more devided.

LGBTQA+ community should not be considered a sensitive issue as this is not a choice people make but just their everyday life and if that is the case then so should all forms of continent about everyday life for anyone.

Because the existence of other people, cultures and ideas isn't a political issue. And because under 18 people have the right to learn about what our societies are composed of.

LGBT+ is not a political issue, it is a humanity issue. People who do not accept us have weak and fragile ego's. We just want to live, that is all. Why do we need to be "filtered out"?

Queer people are not a sensitive issue, we aren't even a minority, the only reason we appear to be a minority is because society is still so anti-queer that most people will settle for passing as cis-hetero, or not ever even explore their own feelings and self to discover who they really are. Censorship like this ruins people's lives, it is a tragedy that so many people will still live suppressed and miserable lives because they are afraid to be themselves. Growing up in a world where people talked about queer identities would have helped me as a teen, it would have removed so much confusion and misery from my life, would have prevented me from building up hugely negative stereotypes of the people who are now my best friends, prevented me from viewing myself and my feelings as monstrous and despicable.

My existence is not a sensitive topic and should never be treated as such.

Focused on tackling the disinformation campaigns and the literal hate groups, who go out their way to encourage people to 'un-alive' people who are from the LGBTQA+ community, which operate on your platform.

I got my degree in media studies with a focus on social media regulation and restricting misinformation and extremist and violent ideology and content. Every time I see a platform shoot itself in the foot with **** like this I want to scream. How about doing something about the people who use their streams to spread dangerous rhetoric, instead of making a restricted category of warning that all queer, nonwhite and/or immigrant streamers inherently have to apply to their account because they'll at some point talk about aspects of their life or personhood that fall under that umbrella.

This really is a step too far...
Marking someone's whole being and what they stand for as a 'sensitive social issue' is like saying they don't exist and have no reason anymore...

Tired of fighting for the right to exist.

I for one don't want to have my talking about my existence or daily life labeled as political just cause I'm a minority. Knowing these rules have historically been used to discriminate against queer people, I voted for this issue for the bullet point to be removed.

So, i can go on twitch open a stream, said stream is broadcasting as a non-competent source what is defined as hatespeech and misinformation, nothing happens to the channel of this person

While, if I just by accident start a conversation on my transition because I let out an "ouch my ***** hurt" and someone ask why, I can get my stream forcefully labeled and even have actions take against my account

The whole policy has no reason to exist because it defines that someone's existance is against a policy, someone's body autonomy is to not be spoken about, this isn't protected by free speech or anti-discrmination laws but all of the sudden when someone uses slurs on the same platform this policy was created by, oh it's free speech, oh I have a right to spread missinformation is the excuse and no one said a thing about it

With the addition that this might not even be legal in Europe and might be considered discrimination of a protected group

you cannot make someone's existance a "sensitive topic"

What the **** are you guys doing? Twitch, this is pathetic.

A lot of people rightfully make complaints about how it targets marginalized groups in particular. And they're right. But there is something more to this. It's an attack on intellectualism. How are we supposed, as content creators and chatters, be able to intellectually engage with the games we stream? How are we supposed to talk about them and the stories they tell? Lots of games have lots of good story to tell, and many love talking about that. Are we supposed to just ban reviews? Is analyzing a piece of content a sensitive social issue? Is critiquing a game a sensitive social issue? This is much broader than simply doing the usual Yankee-no-thinking-appearing-stupid-to-the-world action that is causing a lot of unecessary problems on your platform. This entire policy is an attack on intellectuallism and needs to go away, unless we want to return to the **** dark ages. And lastly; Queer folk are not inherently political. We are political because the hetrostraightual christian and frankly ancient repressions are still here. It's not about ads. It's about actively discriminating intellectuals and queer people. And that is not okay.

My existence as a queer person should not be treated as political or "sensitive". (And for that matter, political issues should be allowed to be talked about in the course of an ordinary livestream too - it's hate speech specifically that's the problem, not merely talking about an issue. )

why are you trying to nanny people? like seriously who does this "sensitive social issues" bs even help? because it's such a vague af thing that it would tell you literally nothing about a stream so using it to choose which stream to watch or not would be pointless. The only thing it'll do is punish people for talking about their lives if their very existence falls under being a "sensitive social issue".

I wholly disagree with this policy and it's rhetoric towards LGBTQ+ viewers and creators. I believe it unfairly targets these groups.

People's existence (Immigrant or LGBTQ+) is not "a political topic"

Reproductive Rights is a common sense topic and for some people Open discussion can be a life saver.

Telling creators their a sensitive topic just for existing is both morally backwards. Financially dumb, as it will drive creators away.

You have LGBT streamers on the site. You have LGBT viewers. They're going to talk about their significant others. They're going to talk about their lives and talk about themselves. You have users who are immigrants, who will talk about being immigrants. Censoring this is straight up discrimination; the intention means nothing when the only logical way this could be fairly and evenly implemented across everyone is inherently discriminatory.

I'm LGBT. I exist. I will continue to exist. The fact that this is even an idea being seriously considered inherently impacts my opinion of the platform in a negative way.
