    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…

    This tag is being abused by partnered, well-known and well-off streamers on Twitch, some of whom are openly mocking and making fun of actual vtubers. These people do not NEED the vtuber tag, they have not been a part of the vtuber community, and have literally no reason to be using the tag. They are hurting the actual vtuber community and smaller creators who are trying to grow. Please do something about this. It’s really not acceptable.
