I hope Biden bans saying poggers IRL
This will not go over well.
So now you need to find other terms to address their userbase.
That's reserved for Twitch Staff, mind you.
This is absurd. Once you let incels have their way on anything, they start to think they actually matter and then they get uppity.
Don't do it, Twitch.
Don't do it, Twitch.
Looks like Twitch is mad that people are getting scared out of dumping large amounts of money on their platform.

I'm surprised they're banning incel. It's the preferred insult for anyone that doesn't simp for the soft-porn e-thots.
I'm sure it will take the collective weaponized autism of the internet all of 3 seconds to think of an alternative word once the gears of the IHM start churning.
What's funny is that this is such a non-issue that the retards that actually use twitch love the term simp, they wear it like a badge of honor and proclaim themselves simps all the time, the female streamers call their audiences simps appropriately - I find it hard to believe this was actually a community issue and not just some troon on the twitch staff that decided words are bad.

The terms simp, virgin, and incel will all be banned on Twitch when used as insults
Among other changes, Twitch is making sure certain terms can't be used on the platform in certain contexts.

Twitch revealed a lot of new initiatives and features today that are being rolled out over the next several months, but some of the policy changes that are going to be implemented soon left viewers scratching their heads.
The terms simp, virgin, and incel will all be banned under the context of being used as insults, according to Twitch’s COO Sara Clemens.
This will apply to both streamers and users in their chats who decide to use any of those terms. Twitch will also be cracking down on emotes that include these terms, removing them and ensuring that no new examples pop up once the terms of service changes go into effect.
“Using terms like simp, incel, or virgin to refer as an insult to negatively refer to another person’s sexual activity is not allowed under this new policy,” Clemens said. “In addition to the new policy change, we are actively denying emotes that include the term simp and will remove them when reported.”
More details about the specifics surrounding these terms and others being officially banned from use on Twitch’s platform and how the company will enforce this will be shared as the policy changes are made official and published for everyone to view.
All of this was talked about in today’s Twitch Town Hall broadcast, where higher-ups at the company talked to viewers about new features and changes that are coming to the platform. This included details about new VOD management features, an update on DMCA policies and how streamers should approach using music, and more.
Very optimistic of them, I feel.

Twitch has always had to cope with the fact that their big earners are "problematic" and shape the culture of the platform. They want so badly to have the face of Twitch be some squeaky-clean family-friendly personality, but they can't make it happen. Just go to the front page of Twitch right now and see who they have featured at the top - at the time of this post, some of these channels are barely hitting 1k viewers. Meanwhile, a French Canadian who can barely speak properly is losing match after match of Chess to the tune of 60k viewers. LOL.
For a long time we've needed a Twitch thread in Community Watch. It'd be awesome if someone could get it going - there's a shitload of content to dump there.

Yeah, let's see how long it lasts before it gets abused and now those words are banned, period. Imagine someone's going to talk about a recipe that needs virgin oil, and they get banned just because it has a "bad" word in it. Or someone says "insolent" because there's such a rude person on stream or in the chat, and because it sounds like "incel", that's a big no-no.
This is gonna backfire.
What a bunch of faggots.
Yep. Knowing Twitch's history this will not work at all. They ban first and ask questions later if at all.Yeah, let's see how long it lasts before it gets abused and now those words are banned, period.
