The line between "personal experience" and "polarizing" is undefinable. I, as a queer person, should not have to label my content as "political" because I don't want to interact with people who would rather see me dead than happy. My friends who are POC should not have to label their content as "political" because they talked about an experience with racism while a racist was in their chat.
This phrasing was vague to begin with and is still vague now. It exists entirely to be exploited by people who don't want queer people and people of color on this website. And as long as that bullet point exists, I'm convinced that includes Twitch staff themselves.
Remove it entirely. Peoples' simple existence is not something that needs a warning.

We’re reviewing this. Curious how long you think would be ok.

Is there ANY movement on this at all? Like, come on, the original idea was posted almost 9 years ago.

I've recently come across an ad on Twitch about suicide prevention - which is a very noble thing to use ad space for. The issue is this ad in particular trivializes suicide by comparing it to a video game - something that's very tastelessly done and has made me and many others uncomfortable.
I've been told outright by a regular viewer that they left my stream after getting this ad. When I get it, I've started muting the tab and clicking away, disengaging with the platform. As someone who has struggled and still struggles with mental health, this ad in particular is very upsetting.
Twitch needs to add a system for reporting advertisements - or at the least a system to hide specific advertisements like this. It's made the platform feel weirdly hostile over what is actually a good message.

This is absolutely disgusting of Twitch and I refuse to use this platform for my artwork until they show even a crumb of respect for the artists that populate these categories. You have *TENS of thousands* if not hundreds of artists utilizing Twitch every single day and couldn't reach out to a single one of them for any of these? Nasty behavior and completely disrespectful.
