The phrase "take your meds" is a seriously overlooked phrase that incites hatred, is disparaging, and implies a derogatory attitude towards neurodivergent people.

Too often, people invoke mental health terms and phrases such as "take your meds" "that's so bipolar" "You're acting like a schizo"

Perhaps a blanket ban is overreaching, but Twitch should take it upon itself, on its own platform, that typically champions people of neurodivergence, to stop such a toxic, hateful, vile expression and attitude towards those who may have differing perspectives, opinions, outlooks on life, or even represent an older generation of twitch users.

It is absolutely abhorrent that a community that is widely known for being tolerant of people from different backgrounds, walks of life and viewpoints would allow such a gross oversight to continue with no educational tools or resources for people who might not understand why telling someone to "take their meds" is incredibly offensive, hateful, and prejudiced.

Example 1: "I actually think Zelda 2 is the BEST game, it reminds me of my childhood."

Offensive response: "Take your meds, grandpa."

Example 2: "Ugh my Stream software is being SOOO BIPOLAR today."

Example 3: "I like eggs & ham for breakfast"

Offensive Response: "Ugh, that's gross, schizo."

These are not gross exaggerations, but common occurrences every day across the internet. Twitch should hold itself to a higher standard, especially considering the mental diversity of its streamers and viewers.
