We are not a political bullet point for you to erase. We are proud, we will be loud, and tell you to shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Do the right thing and take this down.

This is going to be VERY problematic. Twitch and social media in general is already heavily policed by conservative extremists and male-entitlement trolls that deform these mostly-automated systems to identify race, sex, gender, religion, class, and other demographics other than "rich, white, straight, Christian, and male" as "disruptive politics" and not just "human identity." This clause makes it even easier for aggressive and petty people to openly police their peers and retaliate at-will by suppressing the voices of their victims.

I never talk about politics on stream but I'm aghast you'd push this kind of thing onto your streamers! This will only go to further stigmatize these issues as something dangerous! To imply that speaking on legislation about immigration or trans-rights is somehow endangering people is just madness!

I agree with this. LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights and immigration have been *made* political. They're not, at all. The rights for someone to *exist* is not political.

I try to avoid politics as much as possible, in fact I have a rule about it. I want my streams to be a relaxing place to be distracted from the hardships of the world. But if who I am is suddenly political, that would make all my streams political and I don't want that. I don't think my community does either, we just want a peaceful place to play games and relax together.

If at all possible, please remove the final bulletin point. Thank you in advance ^-^

Politicizing my existence, and the existence of other 2LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and advocates of reproductive rights, shows that Twitch is upholding an outdated status quo. By profiting from and simultaneously undermining the role of content creators committed to sharing their lived experiences, Twitch has sided with this investor-driven approach, designed to sidestep inclusivity by hiding us behind an "explicit" or "other" deviant-type label. These are basic human rights!

I am not a political statement. I am not a political talking point. I am a human being. I am transgender. I am a transgender advocate for my brothers and sisters and siblings around me. You are not the first to tell us what we are, so let this and every other voice raised remind you who we are. We are your streamers. Your subscribers. Your ad revenue reapers. Your viral moments. Your photo ops and advertisements. We make your platform. We are not politial. Strike the last bullet from this updated terms and remember from this moment on who it is reaping your rewards on your behalf.

This will allow malicious reporting of streams, targeting marginalized individuals. The automatic bans are already abused by those harassing people, and this only makes it easier. This is a terrible move for safety. It will drive creators away.

This ain't it, chief. Get rid of that bullet point.

If certain people's identities are considered "sensitive topics" that need to be treated differently, that that is a plain case of discrimination. This measure seems less designed to warn people of sensitive topics and more like it's meant to hide the struggles of marginalized people from sight, at their own expense.

Agreed with previous comments. Our lives are not political. All this clause does is allow your own content creators to be targeted and harassed. This clause needs tsome be removed.

This is by far the most dangerous change Twitch has attempted making by far. After listening to too many bad actors running around and calling LGBTQ+ people deviants, Twitch is really showing their true colors as a corporation, hurting the communities they claim to protect through hiding the creators they should be putting on a pedestal.

Weaponizing policy against marginalized groups. Classic Twitch.

Everything is political, even Pokemon Twitch, get rid of this.

Unacceptable, remove thise clause

Advocacy for LBGT+ Rights and other marginalized peoples should not be considered a sensitive topic.

In addition to my last comment, I agree with what others are saying. Do a comprehensive investigation into this policy, and whoever put the last bullet point into Article VII, FIRE them, and BAR them from the workplace. THIS, is DISCRIMINATION, of the HIGHEST, MAGNITUDE. REMOVE, the final bullet point. From Article VII. NOW!

Remove this awful clause

My existence should not be political. The fact that Twitch has lumped LGBTQ+ discussions in the same vein as talking about the election is absolute bunk. It's archaic. We deserve better than that.

Reproductive rights aren't political. They're a basic human right, such as the right to exist as a queer person.

The existence of BIPOC and LGBTQIA people, as well as the ability to discuss topics relevant to the life of the streamer and their community, should be protected, not restricted and demonetized.
