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…
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I would not class myself as an NSFW content creator overall but as a 36 year old woman, I just feel like a lot of the things I talk about, while not explicitly NSFW are still things I wouldn't be comfortable talking about around children.
For example I often talk about my mental and physical health in a very unfiltered way, which is a good release for me and my community to be able to vent about it, but it can be quite dark the way I talk about it, I also use dark humour as a coping mechanism and I just don't think kids should be hearing that kind of thing, even though it's not NSFW.
I also rant about children fairly often too, as a woman of childbearing age in a straight presenting relationship I have endured endless pressure into having children, I know I am not maternal, nor am I mentally capable of looking after a dependent child but women aren't allowed to use our bodies as we please and we have to suffer the criticism from those who object to our decision to live child free. This has given me an even greater distaste towards children and again I don't think they should be subjected to hearing me talk about things like that.
This is just 2 examples but there are many more like it. Please let channels be mature without being NSFW, for everyone's benefit.
