Oh RE is mad. Meanwhile I don't think this will do much
First post
Quote:Can't wait to see queer streamers being automatically labelled as that.Well, said streamers shouldn't be talking about politics then
Quote:Yeah this is definitely going to be weaponized against queer and BIPOC folk.
Quote:Isn't there already a "politics" category on Twitch? Adding "Sensitive Social Issues" (they are going to have to be crystal clear on what that is) to that is probably going to be bad.Booshka
Quote:Sensitive Social Issues will be determined by a panel of 30-45 year old divorced or never married white dudes.

Quote:From my understanding Hasan Piker is out of contract and no longer running ads.Absurb Hasan didn't get a ban at all.
This certainly impacts small streamers though. This will for sure get weaponized by the more overzealous community.
Also absurd Asmon only got 2 weeks for his ban but others were given 4.
