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…

Discoverability on Twitch is already hard enough, we don’t need big (or otherwise) non-VTuber streamers intentionally mis-tagging themselves and making it even harder. Enforce the TOS and stop it!

These terms are completely unworkable and will be a huge drop in revenue for streamers across the board, large as well as small. People will move to other streaming platforms instead of having to put up with these draconian restrictions.
Work with the community to find a compromise instead of just foisting this garbage on it without any discussion.
