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 stated in Twitch's own directory for all tags, the Vtuber tag is "For streams in which the streamer uses a virtual avatar", so this isn't really a matter of personal or creative identity, but more of the literal definition this very website provided. But if there's such a big issue with having to actually ban streamers for misusing the Vtuber tag, then perhaps just removing the ability to use the Vtuber tag for that streamer on repeated and confirmed infractions would be fine?

Not only will I and the other people here promising the same, stop streaming on Twitch if you try to force it, but so will many others as well, likely including major streamers that are more than willing to do the same, to not have their streams used to train AI. Major streamers that keep the website afloat from their revenue cuts and advertising payment cuts.
Forcing people to use AI features, or forcing that their channel is used for AI training, will only just lead to the website's decline from most people leaving.
