    Having to tag streams which mention 'sensitive political issues' like race, women's rights, gender issues, and similar topics exposes marginalized creators to having our content more easily found and attacked - or mobbed with fake complaints - or boycotted - by hate groups, since our lives are inextricably 'political' because hate groups politicize them. The onus should be on site moderation to exclude hate groups, not to facilitate them in preying on the rest of us. Including women as a marginalized community - and we are - that's well over half of twitch's user base that this rule potentially negatively impacts in favor of a small, loud, disruptive minority that is actually abusing the site.
    Moderate your ****, and stop enabling the targeting of marginalized people just because a fascist just won an election a few days ago.
