    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's very simple, Twitch staff. Vtuber has a definition. A VTuber, or virtual YouTuber, is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics and real-time motion capture software or technology.

    If the content creator who has been reported is not using a virtual avatar for a majority of their streams, then they are not a Vtuber. Start enforcing the rule, or you're going to lose users.

    Hey, how about immediate action in punishing the creators currently maliciously misusing the content tagging system, and enforcing your rules evenly and fairly, regardless of how much money those creators are making you? How about creating a culture of accountability on Twitch? How about actually protecting small groups from being taken advantage of? How about literally doing anything at all?

    This admin response is such a non-answer non-solution. It means nothing. It's a placatory response. We will not be silenced by your limp-wristed half-assed attempt to placate us. Punish these malicious actors. Now.

    I can understand people who are part-time Vtubers using the tag. When I go to report someone for using the tag, I check their video backlog, and if I see their PNG or 3D avatar for a significant portion of their content, I relent on reporting them. But the sheer number of people who either do not actively use virtual avatars for their content, do not use it for more than half their content, or do not use one at all, who are using the vtuber tag, is putting direct strain on the community, and reducing visibility for small independent vtubers. This is not acceptable. This situation has gone beyond critical.
