Not only is my existence not a political issue, this is also a "foot in the door" tactic that leads to worse discrimination through proper and legal channels. By putting up a flag for if someone is discussing "sensitive topics", it opens the door to more forms of exclusion, censoring, and banning of marginalized communities.

It's not a sensitive issues, it's just a topic like any other topic.

Me simply existing is not a 'sensitive social issue'.

My existence shouldn't be political.

Discrimination at its finest. You are putting targets on streamers with this, Shame on you Twitch

I'm fully willing to unsubscribe from the folks I follow over this. I won't give money to a company that won't let them be themselves or talk about their lives. Money where my mouth is!

my existence is not a 'social issue'

I'm not a sensitive social issue. I'm a human being. I watch streams, go to the store, and just want to live my life.

People's identity is not political.

My identity is not political. Shame on Twitch

As someone commented below, censoring someone's identity means you're censoring their right to exist. Our queerness, our right to bodily autonomy, and our ability to move throughout the world should never be labeled as "sensitive social issues," they should be treated as the completely normal things that they are. We shouldn't be punished for other people's ill behaviour.

Queer people existing is not a "social issue"

Yeah, not fond of the idea that acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist constitutes a "sensitive social issue." We're just people trying to live our lives and we deal with a lot of othering already. Same with immigrants and racial minorities. Maybe outward bigotry against these demographics is what should be treated as a "sensitive social issue."

as a transwoman this is disgusting and pandering to a small minority who seeks to make our existence a sensitive social issue

When you are a marginalized person your existence is not political, it is politicized. Your access to healthcare and your identity should not be a content warning ever. We should not have to think about how to categorize our existence or how to file our stream because we live in the context of a world that does not always want to grant us equal rights and freedoms. Please don't play into a problematic narrative that lends itself to further marginalizing the marginalized.

I understand the idea behind this feature, but the collateral damage is simply too severe. Especially when a significant number of Streamers are directly impacted by these issues. Querler streamers, in particular, would effectively need this warning on every time they stream.

If "Sensitive Social Issues" ever involves the identity of a person, you are censoring that person's right to exist. You wouldn't censor someone discussing their identity as American or Chinese or French; why would you censor someone discussing their identity as a queer person?

My existence isn't political. If you want to avoid controversy, twitch, stop being anti-LGBTQIA+ and anti-vtuber.

queerness doesn't deserve to be censored or set as sensitive subject! don't validate bigots over queer folks!

Hi, my existence being political isn't my fault! if you want to dodge controversy, you're better off booting off people who express bigotry on your platform than telling marginalized people to be quiet! this decision as it currently stands is nothing short of an act of cowardice and capitulating to the whining of sad little men and fascists.
