    Twitch's response missed the mark completely again, and I'm not surprised.

    I.e. ok great I can talk about my own lived experience but not the experience of the community at large?

    We have people who go on social media saying they cannot stand "anything woke" and then you go check, and it turns out that simply a gay or trans character being present in the game is "woke" enough. My existence and the existence of people like me is inflammatory because bigots like that ate plentiful and vocal in the anonymizing way the internet works.

    So all this "clarification" does is provide cover for bigots and harmful actors. Is that the point of your policy?

    Or is it that advertisers who are run by people who are just as much bigots than those, just less openly vocal, are asking you to do this?

    Frankly, a very large chunk of the content in your platform is created by queer people, by immigrants, by neurodivergent people. Stop trying to policies whose purpose is to make it easier to discriminate against us. And even this debacle already caused damsge. The bullet points need to be removed, and an anti-discrimination policy that makes it clear that social rights of minorities cannot be challenged or reported as violations must take its place now.
