Stop misuse of "slur" guidelines for censorship and harrassment
Treating words like "cracker" and "Zionist" as equivalent to slurs allows bad-faith users to report marginalized people and get them banned for "hateful conduct." I have just seen this weaponized against a POC moderator for a channel I follow, who has been banned for jokingly calling the streamer "cracker" which he fully consented to and encouraged. POC are unable to joke with their friends or discuss political issues without the risk of White racists reporting every message with these so-called slurs as hateful conduct, and Twitch makes no effort to review bad-faith reports before censoring marginalized people.
