Just wanna start this off by saying I'm gay and I would genuinely be ****** if Twitch actually enforces this, but I want to first verify this information.
From what I know, AutoMod can always be configured in the channel dashboard. And I checked and found that if the "Sexuality, sex, or gender" category is set to "Some filtering" (level 2 filter) or above, then it holds back "gay", but not "I'm gay" (and probably other messages that doesn't just say "gay"). Same thing applies to "trans" and "lesbian" vs. "I'm trans" and "I'm lesbian", which doesn't get filtered out at all even at the highest filtering level. So this is actually kinda sensible if a channel chooses to be more strict with their messages and wants to be safe than be sorry.
And also, if I'm not wrong, the default AutoMod filtering should be set to level 1, "Less filtering". So by default, it doesn't filter out a message if it just says "gay", "trans" or "lesbian" at all.
This is just what I've found. I'm not sure if I'm looking at a different section than what's being referred to, or if this filter is new and my account/channel does not have it yet.
