    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…

    Looking through Twitch's Vtuber tag, I have so far found 3 ASMR Irl streamers, and 20 IRL streamers playing games with nothing having to do with Vtubers. This is unacceptable and a majority of those people misusing it were burying actual Vtubers under their numbers. This is hurting smaller vtubers and is becoming an actual problem where people WANTING to watch vtubers or raid them are being mislead and inconvenienced. It needs to get fixed or the problem is going to get larger
