My GENDER and SEXUAL ORIENTATION are not politics and they are only made political because of bigots who want me dead. This policy is like making people who talk about their identity and the problems they face because of it wear a label and you will create yet another stigma by doing this. Disgusting. Get rid of it.

My friends are not "sensitive content" or whatever BS Twitch is trying to use to take a margailized community and put it behind a curtain. LGBTQ+ streamers are the backbone to Twitch's success and should be recognized as such. Not put behind a wall. Disgusting that Twitch would think this is ok.

People's lives are not up for debate or a "sensitive subject"

You're aware that those who wish to see us gone will view merely our existence as violating these new terms of service? They'll mass report us as is over fake complaints and you're just giving them ammo.

You keep platforming hateful people trying to spread a hateful agenda and banning people who just want to live.

LGBT people and people of color are NOT a political stance. We deserve to have a space where we feel safe.

Sorry if I might be one of those people that engages in "sensitive, ideological, socio-political" commentary like how me and my boyfriend went somewhere nice today. How about we don't classify it like that, hm?

This can and will be easily exploitive by anti-queer, misogynistic and like minded individuals against anyone that identifies in a marginalized group. By implementing this you are putting people in minorities in more danger than protection and opening up more ways for hate groups to harass and wrongfully report marginalized creators for their identity. Please roll this back, rethink or drop this implementation entirely.

LET PEOPLE EXIST!!!!

My existence is not socially sensitive, Dan.

November 1st marks the first day of Native American Heritage Month. Our heritage is inherently political and cannot be mentioned without discussing the rules like these that have been implemented over the centuries as a means to control and moderate our voices. This doesn't pertain to just indigenous folks, but minorities and marginalized persons from all backgrounds.

Hard agree. This needs to be removed, it can and will be abused by folks who want to target the various marginalized streamers on Twitch that end up part of the "group to demonize this week with no evidence." These kinds of policies are never used for their theoretical "intent" and will always be abused.

I don't want my existence to be deemed "political", and be forced behind an explicit label just because I rightly mouth off about what me and my friends are dealing with, here and around the world. Nobody should have that sword hanging above their head just because they're a minority.

so to be clear, some of the biggest male streamers promoting and spreading misogynistic extremism in their communities, and parroting incel ideology that has been responsible for multiple terror attacks is perfectly fine, but existing while queer needs to be hidden behind a sensitive content warning.

THESE ARE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS THEY ARE NOT POLITICAL PLEASE TWITCH I JUST WANNA EXIST

I am a masc-leaning nonbinary individual who identifies with the trans label. And I am also just a person. It feels incredibly malicious that my very existence as a person is being categorized as a sensitive and political issue. As a new streamer, this is very disheartening to see. My existence and how I view myself is not up for debate.

Please do better.

The existence of black and LGBTQ+ people are not political and a streamer being able to defend their rights should not be heavily policed.

Why does me existing have to be political ;w;

Basic human rights is not a political thing, that bullet point should NOT exist.

All of these are basic human rights, protected by law in many countries. Twitch should focus on getting rid or racist and homophobic creators on their platform rather than pestering queer people and vtubers who haven't hurt anyone.

I am a cisgender straight white man, and I do not condone this attitude from Twitch. I will stop supporting this platform is this guideline is not entirely removed, and necessary steps aren't taken to ensure the safety of LGBT people and minorities.

As an LGBT+ creator with a community that is supposed to be a safe space for all, the need to be hidden behind a “sensitive content” label is downright wrong and censors a very part of who I am.

Things like this boxes people in and puts targets on them for existing. We are not a “sensitive social issue” that has to be branded with some form of scarlet letter. We are people. We are human beings of flesh and bone and blood. To force people to brand their content… its just wrong.

LGBT rights are human rights. Reproductive rights are human rights.

Twitch is supposed to be a hive of people from every stretch of the world with different minds and personalities all coming together to foster something bigger and better than we are individually. However this stifles a very large portion of that community down into the shadows.

People existing isn't a sensitive social topic. What is every LGBTQ+ streamer supposed to do? Just not mention their partner(s) at all?

Male streamer: me and my wife went to the beach. <- fine
Female streamer: me and my wife went to the beach. <- social issue that needs a label.

Come on, be better.

I have never been happier while streaming, streaming has been truly one of the things keeping me afloat... I am a person, a living being, my very existence is not a sensitive topic and not a political issue... the very idea of this is discriminatory and will also ostracize so many people who use twitch away... the fact that this is even an issue in the first place, pains me...
