The change to the Sensitive social issues policy, ostensibly to improve and clarify is still very unhelpful. Problematic examples have been removed and some language has been rearranged but the result is the same, an unclear policy that sets a vague and highly subjective bar of speaking about something "in a polarizing or inflammatory manner." By whose judgement is the content considered polarizing or inflammatory? The policy is too open-ended and open to interpretation to be considered safe, sane, or free of the likelihood to be abused. Since the last bulletpoint of the updated guidelines in particular is one that obviously cannot be written in a way in which guardrails are attached to prevent weaponization of Twitch Policies and Staff, the appropriate correction would be to remove it completely, and, if it really was added in regards to the safety of those marginalized by inflammatory speech, enhanced enforcement of EXISTING harassment policies for a change when people are reported for violating them by using "polarizing and inflammatory" language toward said marginalized groups would be a much better use of Twitch's time and resources. Stop trying to play the middle ground with your policies when all it's going to wind up doing is making enforcement an even more inconsistent experience.
