   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 to express themselves and define their content.

   Our goal is to have more to share with you about the tags feature later this year.

   Failing to enforce proper tag usage on your own platform defeats the entire purpose of tags even existing. Why should I search the VTuber tag if half of the results aren't VTubers? Why should I search the English tag if half the results speak 0 English? Why should I search the League of Legends tag if half of them aren't playing League? There is no difference between misuse of any of these tags, and trying to skirt around the issue by trying to pull some "identifying as a VTuber" **** is just blatant favoritism towards non-VTubers.

   Admit that it's abuse of the tag and respond to that abuse like you would any other abuse, with punishments.
