Indigenous people have gone through so much, but we have to vote to get them featured? Ridiculous. Implement this already!

Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.
We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself. Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.
We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.
That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

As a disabled and neurodivergent creator it can be VERY difficult to keep up with what Twitch is ''''supposed'''' to promote for content, but it should celebrate ALL creators, including those who are literally unable to create in traditional ways. In addition to more visibility to disabled/neurodivergent creators, it would be really helpful to get more sensitivity/warnings on games added in (such as for photosensitivity, audio grating, etc), even if they have to be volunteer added tags!

Even if Covid wasn't a major problem (which it still very much is and currently has much higher numbers than in 2020-21), masking would help prevent many other airborne illnesses from spreading, leading more people to enjoy the entirety of the convention rather than feeling sick. As more and more people become disabled, it is a duty of any mass-gathering that states it cares about its community to enforce masking policies, because 'getting sick' is not getting sick anymore.
