    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…

    Twitch needs to actually take action with streamers who are just laying there with their ass in the air for hours and barely playing games. I don’t think I’ve seen a single one who isn’t (incorrectly) using a vtuber tag. Also there are people who get punished for significantly less serious issues but there was that one user who had a racist meltdown, calling Japanese culture “disgusting” and just being an absolute lunatic towards fellow twitch creators. She was still at it for days following. How is that acceptable? I’ve seen twitch mods swoop in within moments of an infraction but it feels like a lot of these cam girl streamers get a pass.
