Sensitive social issues Bullet points need to be removed, not 'clarified'

it doesn't matter how much you 'clarify' the point of the final two bullets, they are not fit for the political category especially when contrasted with the other things in the category. Putting peoples rights in there opens up marginalized groups to hate and bigotry. We want the points REMOVED and twitch's response is completely missing the point the community has been making.
At what point does something go from 'personal experience' to 'too political'? if a streamer talks about their own right to an abortion being taken away where they live, is that personal experience or political? it is entirely subjective. Is a trans person talking about their experiences with HRT 'fact based'? Who determines this? The bigots who will undoubtedly mass report said streamers to shut them up?
"intermittent mentions of (...) sensitive social issues are not required to have the politics and sensitive social issues label" how long is intermittent? most streamers i watch like to have small conversations with chat about social issues, how long can these chats go on for?
I don't understand why you refuse to just take out the 'Sensitive social issues' point. It's what the user base is asking you to do and it is the right thing to do.

    The "clarification" feels like you doing the absolute bare minimum and keeping it vague enough so you can still punish streamers however you see fit for not using the tag. We don't want "clarification", we want it *removed*, Twitch.

    LGBTQ people existing is not a political stance and has no reason to be included as a bullet point to the politics tag. The vagueness of the new bullets will also lend itself far to easily to bad actors wishing to exploit it. Please do the sensible thing and remove these bullet points.

    Your "clarification" is not satisfactory, Twitch. Remove the whole **** thing ! And also, leave Vtubers alone while I'm at it.
  • Kyoslilmonster commented  ·   ·  Report

    The fact that this bullet point exists is the main issue you're failing to address here Twitch. This just leaves a loophole for abuse, misuse, and more bs that this site doesn't need.

    me being gay and talking about how much i love women shouldn't need a trigger warning for some chud that isn't even going to watch in the first place, quite kowtowing to a bunch of crybabies because they can't handle anything outside their very limited spheres
  • StinkyTreen commented  ·   ·  Report

    These vague additions do nothing to prevent this system from being abusable. When does my personal experience as a nonbinary person become "too political" that it gets flagged? How long is "intermittent" conversation? All this does is create active censorship for those already marginalized, because no one is going to risk being tossed into a volatile portion of the platform via mislabeling, all because Twitch decided that human lives now constitute as "politics." Clarification is not what was needed, full removal of the points is the only correct step forward.

    Watching this company take decisions is like watching a special needs kid try to use a fork, dear lord put a cork on it QUICKLY!

    WANTING TO BE TREATED WITH BASIC DECENCY SHOULD NOT BE CONTROVERSIAL OR SENSITIVE.
    TALKING ABOUT HOW TO COMBAT DISCRIMINATION WHEN IT HAPPENS IS NOT POLITICAL, UNLESS YOU ARE A BIGOT.
  • KayceGaymer commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's not how you said it, Twitch, it's that y'all had the garbage thought to put it in there in the first place.
  • ZoomieVT commented  ·   ·  Report

    As someone who is trans, my identity should not be considered political or sensitive. Remove it.
  • HockeyBabbler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Genuinely this is ridiculous. You've made a tiny incremental itty bitty step in the right direction, now commit to the correct course and go there.
  • squibbies_ commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’m sorry but I’m sick and **** tired of my very being being called “political” or “a sensitive issue.” I exist outside of the context of whether or not some board member does or does not like gay people
  • ofcorson commented  ·   ·  Report

    it’s not just about LGBTQIA+ people either. don’t use that as a strawman to solve and then ignore the aspects of this policy that harm those advocating against genocide and championing global human rights

  • h4lcy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just reverse this nonsense. You are in the wrong. You are doing the wrong thing. I am sure you understand that. Stop pushing idiotic rules like this. You have a responsibility as a giant, powerful company - act like it.

    My existence is not a 'sensitive social issue'. I'm a living, breathing person who deserves the same rights as everyone else.
