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…
Twitch will actively promote IRL streamers who shake their *** for money and wear the skimpiest "outfits" known to man and on top of that will make a whole new category they can abuse just so they won't be in trouble (let's be honest, "Pools, Hot Tubs and Beaches" was invented for this exact reason, bffr), but god forbid a vtuber EXISTS or shows a hint of skin or acts the slightest bit sus and they will be banned without so much as an explanation as to why other than a vague categorical reason.
Either remove **** from your website entirely or moderate equally, make up your **** minds.
