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…

Tags are a great way to help categorize, describe and discover Streams and Channels.
While there are a small number of exceptions of Non-VTubers providing VTuber content via Collaborations or supporting other VTubers as their focus, there are however, numerous top Twitch Partners wrongly using this tag for the sole sake of appearing on top of page while have no relation to the content they provide in the first place.
On top of that, you have Twitch Partners using the tag who also attack people who are part of the VTuber and Anime community on stream and social media.
