My existence as a queer person isn’t political, it is insane to lump me in with topics like wars and military conflict. I just exist.

Imagine seeing a gay person talking about getting married and having a happy life and thinking that's on the same tier as talking about an ongoing war and genocide in terms of controversiality and that it requires a label. It also opens up already marginalized/hated on groups to more hate cause you're forcing them to wear a GIANT NEON SIGN that allows people with ill intentions to make it easier to harass and target them.

This policy is far too much of a generalisation. As it targets trans people, merely discussing an aspect their life. To people inciting bigotry using hate speech, undee the same label. This need's to be changed.

My existance is not something I should have to warn others about.

I would wonder how many people would actually comply. They can't ban everyone.

Why is LGBTQ+ considered on the same level as war. Like wtf. I guess me living my normal life everyday has the same severity as a war. Nice one Twitch

Censoring the issues that people are facing is hurtful and only serves to perpetuate those problems. These people simply want to exist.

This policy change will send a precedent for other media sharing websites where the voices of people that matter have a higher likeliness of being shared as outliers and negative. These kinds of labels shouldn’t have been made next to such horrifying topics such as war. It hurts my heart seeing this happen and I really hope it’s changed.

That bulletpoint is nonsense.
Almost all LGBTQ+ streamers already have tags on their stream.
And how are the topics sensitive?
If a streamer talks about a generic topic lile a wedding and gay marriage naturally comes up in the conversation, does that make it political now?
I call ********!

I've been wanting to do my own streaming on YouTube and Twitch for a while, but I'm starting to lose faith in Twitch with all the bs they're doing. And as a trans woman and a lesbian this bullet point would make talking about myself more difficult than it needs to be just for existing. Do better Twitch.

the existence of a person should not be a sensitive social issue.

This is chilling LGBTQ+ voices! Totally unacceptable, my existence isn't political.

I don't think existing as a Gay or Trans person is as controversial as talking about War Crimes, Genocide, or the Election.... Like Gay and Trans people EXISTING and talking about their life experiences should not be flagged like that, it's pretty messed up to put it lightly.

First they came for the LGBT+ community. And I spoke the **** out because even though i am not a part of this community, i know the rest of this poem.

I disagree on the notion that talking about social issues affecting any subset of population is "not political" because it is definitely "political". Human existence in society is political by definition and by extension so is talking about human existence in society.

But a topic being "political" is not a valid reason to censor it or hide it. People who don't want to think or talk about these topics should deal with it and and stop pushing their problems onto others.

No sense in pandering to the intolerant.

Everything I could say has been said already by people far more eloquent than myself. This is a terrible decision that empowers the hateful to bring harm against people who are just trying to live and talk about their lives, my existence as a non-binary person is not 'sensitive content', the last two bullet points are both nonsense that should be walked back immediately, et cetera, et cetera.

I will, however, say this: if you don't remove this passage, then at the very least you should remove all those pride emotes from your platform — and don't even THINK about doing anything next June. You have no right to pretend to support us when it's profitable just to turn around and capitulate to bigotry when it's not.

Es muy triste como quieren controlar el derecho de expresión, la auto percepción es algo importante y que muchos tienen problemas y será peor si se castiga hablar de el tema

Twitch, in about 24h this idea is literally the second most voted and commented idea in your whole suggestion list. The only other most voted and commented idea was adding the Ukranian language witch was open since 2016. In 24h we are half-way there in the same numbers of votes than a 6 year old issue. Let that sink in.
I think this might be the reason why you think it might be political, however we don't want it to be political , we just want to live our life normally.

this would likely lead to people, particularly LGBTQ+, to have their discussions about their life being flagged as political, or worse, any content about them being flagged. It's incredibly othering to require people to flag their streams with this and could easily enable brigading. what is including LGBTQ+ on the list even supposed to achieve. (asides from anti-lgbtq+ goals ofc)

The only controversy here is that a ton of people hate them in which case you wouldn't flag every other minority because bigots exist.

Should also note the way flagging this implies these groups are open to be debated or are an issue in some way. Even if this works out and there's no false flags it'll still be incredibly discriminatory. terrible idea.
