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…

At time of this comment, there are 6 top content creators misusing the Vtuber tag in the top 30 creators using Vtuber. That is 1 for every 5 just in the top seat! This is getting ridiculous! If smaller Vtubers decided to game the tag system like these top creators (ie Use Leatherwork or ASMR tags when that is not what they are doing), they would be suspended without a care in the world.
