The clarification did not help and comes from a privileged point of view. Twitch says we may talk about our lived experiences, but we may not "advocate" for anything, and we must talk about things in a "neutral and fact-based manner." But who will determine if a person's lived experiences are truly their lived experiences or if they're "advocating" for something (like their basic rights—and frankly, we should not be put in the same group as bigots who throw around hatespeech or politicians who are campaigning when we're discussing our literal rights to live)?
People within the majority demographics already don't believe minorities when we say something bigoted is factually happening (such as politicians attempting to outlaw being trans in any way they can). Will minorities be punished for saying things that are indeed factual but that people within the majority are simply unwilling to acknowledge?
When you draft a rule for community, you have to think about how it will be abused by bad actors. I don't mean to be rude, Twitch, but it does not seem like whoever pushed this policy and the correction through thought about that at all.
This is the genuine deal-breaker for me with Twitch. Opt out by default or get rid of it entirely. Otherwise, I'm taking my streams elsewhere. Twitch isn't the only option for streaming. Never has been.
