LGBTQIA+ words being censored / automodded
Recently, Twitch has added the words Trans, Gay and Lesbian to the list of auto-mod words.
These should be removed from the default auto moderation tools, as the words in and of themself are not inherently offensive.

Can censor us all you want, Twitch. We're still gonna be around, whether you or President Rancid Cheeto like it or not.

You realise this will mean an unorganised boycott of donations and ad revenue going right past your coffers right? Even without organising to harm your company I am disgusted and will not give you my money or support.

As a Scotsman who is ace, I wouldn't want twitch to ban trans, gay or lesbian, it will drive people who are either trans, gay or lesbian people away from twitch. Instead of having the hq in what we now call the fake land of the free, we want the hq in the real land of the free called Scotland. Twitch, we want you to revert these changes or get it up ye.

The very idea of censuring the words trans, gay, and lesbian is beyond the pail. This is censorship that hurts the community. It will drive away countless people who would otherwise be contributing to Twitch's revenue directly as well as those that create the very content that makes Twitch viable. Remove these words from the automod list.

The audacity to keep doing stuff like this is insane, but we will always fight to preserve our existence, no matter how much you try to silence us

This ruling has ill intent baked into itself. Hatred towards minorities, like the LGBTQIA+ community, should not be tolerated whatsoever, nor should it ever be normalized to this extent.
I will stop supporting this platform if this ruling ends up passing, and make sure that my goverment limits this application's hateful reach within and outside of my region.

Regimes of the past tried the same thing, people took them down. Twitch, stand for people, not power and money.

Deleting my Twitch account if this **** is allowed to continue. It's bad enough that it's happening at all. Grow a spine, please.

Censoring these words is inherent to the attempted obfuscation and erasure of LGBTQIA+ representation on the platform.
If you are censoring something, censor slurs, or curse words, not a form of self-expression and an identity.
Is this to bend the knee to the recent political establishment, or wholly your own decision?
Those are my thoughts on the matter. -

Twitch if you actually give a **** about your user base maybe stop giving **** what current president forces coompanies do?

Erasing the words we use to define ourselves is cultural erasure and a step in the genocide of queer populations. Do not put a black cent into any corporation who pushes in this direction. Boycott them in all areas. Simply stop using twitch unless you're running adblockers and donate directly to creators rather than using bits.

This is incredibly gross. My community is 90% queer. Revert this change immediately or I will take my streams elsewhere

This is a blatant form of censorship and active attack on lgbtq+ creators
