    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…

    It would be one thing if the streamers misusing it in question made it clear they were getting a vtubing model and showing it off in a test stream. But some of your more prominent creators as well as others hopping on the tag that have no clue or care, are artificially and purposely clogging pages. One such ASMR streamer spent her whole stream today, not only throwing a temper tantrum about being professionally DMed about mistagging. But proceeded to use very hateful language and slurs, including accusations of cultural appropriation and grooming/pedophilia. We as a community have been very diplomatic and professional, but it seems we have to bring the matter to your doorstep now since the other party will not resolve this amicably.
