In a statement, Twitch said that whilst it is a place “for people to express themselves and discuss the world around them”, from now on, any stream that includes discussions about war, religion, or “reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, or immigration” needs to be labelled.

    It has nothing to do with their existence and you know it. Also they just want those streams , which are bringing up political issues to simple tag/label themselves as such. Not that they can’t do it,nor they aren’t welcome or whatever.

    Your making an issue out of nothing.

      LGBTQ+ rights are about queer people being allowed to exist as they truly are, and marking that as political is honestly dehumanizing.

      Is talking about straight relationships “political”?

        I would say yes and should be in the same light as trans and whatnot.

        They are asking for a label so people know prior, they aren’t denying anyone the ability to talk about it.
