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…

This is an all-too-familiar trend on many platforms. What is the point of creating a TOS and rule system if it can be blatantly ignored? Why bother setting guidelines when they can be overlooked because "we don't wanna hurt their feelings." In total honesty, hurting someone's feelings should be the last of your priorities as a platform when someone is CLEARLY and without a doubt disregarding rules THIS PLATFORM set in place.
