Time for Twitch to put it's money where it's mouth is.
The clarification of Article 7 does not do this.
Twitch can not exist in a state where it ONLY "cosmetically" supports LGBTQIA+ rights, but internally forces LGBTQIA+ people to compartmentalize themselves, making it far easier to find them for the purpose of targeted abuse and harassment, both on and off platform.
Either Twitch says it supports LGBTQIA+ people, and BACKS THAT UP WITH ACTIONS APPROPRIATE TO SUCH STATEMENTS, or it outs ITSELF as an entity that is NOT safe for LGBTQIA+ people to interact with.
If that second thing happens, say goodbye to probably half your Twitch Support staff, as well as being quite literally blackballed by the Furry fandom, which is MAJORITY composed of LGBTIQIA+ people.
It will be an exodus similar in volume to the exodus of artists from Twitter.
Don't be Twitter. Twitter is the NEGATIVE role model, they do what you SHOULD NOT do.
Point is, either Twitch supports LGBTQIA+ people and creators, or it does not.
Twitch can not hope to "have it's cake and eat it too" with an "openly inviting appearance" and then everything in the platform funnels targeted abuse, hateful conduct, and nefarious actors submitting en-masse falsified and/or bad-faith reports about LGBTQIA+ content creators who are just trying to live their life without constantly being yelled at by society for who they truly are.An error occurred while saving the comment SciDerg

Nice try, swing and a miss tho. Twitch needs to get the fascists out of it's legal team if that's the best they can muster.
The entire concept of this label of "sensitive social issues" having ANYTHING to do with discussing ANY SINGULAR OR COMBINATION OF CONCEPTS RELATING TO LGBTQIA+ topics, is itself an infringement of LGBTQIA+ rights, and by extension, human rights.
It is ALSO very much still "Anticipatory Compliance", which is how fascists get power, as I described on my previous post.
Don't do that, Do Better.SciDerg

Just once I'd like a mega-corporation to be able to see past it's "pump and dump" short term profits nose and be able to think about long term sustainable growth instead of following this "number must go up" sycophantic idiocy that is AI.
Like, if I was going to treat corporations as people (which Citizens United says I can do), right now *every* corporation that implements any AI features into it's operations would be quite easily diagnosed as suffering from mental psychosis of some sort.
If the phenomena wasn't making my life a living nightmare, the scientific side of my brain would be fascinated by how easy it is to lead by-the-nose such massive corporate animals to the slaughter with the promise of an impossible thing.
