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…

Can we repost this same concern as a re-visiting? Since Twitch changed their tag system, maybe they'll have something new to say (doubtful, but possible)

Tags are still being misused, and nothing is being done about it. It's hurting actual VTubers. This is happening on YouTube too...honestly, we all need a fresh new platform for streaming, because it seems neither Twitch nor YouTube want to actually help their content creators
Twitch, every time you do this, it is a slap in the face of your creators. ESPECIALLY your artist creators. At this point it has to be for attention because you know releasing AI will result in backlash, which gets people to talk. You will end up backpedaling again like the last time, and then in the future we’ll be back here again. You have a large artist community, use some of that money you have to pay and commission an artist on your platform. This is insanely disrespectful.
