    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…

    Its so painfully obvious that this tag is being abused by non-vtubers to target and harass the vtuber community. While not a vtuber myself, i am a mod and consumer of streamers who use vtubing as their chosen choice of medium for presenting themselves and content.

    Please Twitch, enforce stricter policies and punishments against the very obvious streamers at the top who are doing this. Take a second, search the Vtuber tag on any random day... and see what we're upset about for yourselves.
