Twitch is introducing 350+ new community tags that will enable streamers not just to tag the content of the games they’re playing, but also “who they are and what they [stand] for”, too.
“We had planned to share this next week, but we’ve heard a lot of you talking and want to make sure the record is clear. Next week we’ll be adding 350+ new tags to celebrate yourself and your community,” explained a tweet on the official Twitch Twitter account over the weekend.
The new tags – which were drawn up in consultation with “independent, third-party organisations” and “other experts focused on the progress of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and marginalized communities” – are “related to gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ability, mental health, and more”.
