    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…

    I have no issues with people wanting to become a vtuber but I have issues with people who just use the tag along with other tags that have no relation to them.

    I use the VTuber and Veteran tags (with the proof that I have served) and I'd be upset over someone if they slapped on veteran and their only experience in military would be airsoft or ROTC (the school program)

    If a VTuber big or small wants to use their irl cam or something, just remove the tag maybe or let the title state something. After seeing this whole thing start up, I've only seen people who have literally no sign of being a VTuber or just bashing the tag. I don't care the size of the person misusing it but this is like saying you're eating at a vegetarian restaurant but they're serving only meat products, y'know?
