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…

ElisabeteTV is literally using the LGBT tag and praising Martin Shkreli on twitter. You know, the guy that raised HIV drug prices so generic medicine wasn't accessible to the public?
THIS IS YOUR PARTNER, TWITCH.

The fact that I'm sure someone has gotten in trouble for this and as made their title to "real VTuber" while not a VTuber and also still doing IRL stuff shows the fact they're clearly abusing the system.

To add onto the point issues:
If you get a new number and someone has already connected it to their account (meaning you got a previously used number), Twitch won't give your the number that is now yours.
Meaning anything they roll out that requires a phone number? You're SOL.
