The trans community had a longstanding grudge on the word "trans" being banned not only from tags, but the title too.
People usually go to Twitch not to find one particular game being played, but to find community. Being trans is something most cis people seem to have issues relating to, so finding other trans people is the easiest way to avoid constantly repeating awkward conversations along a barrage of false preconceptions.
I'd imagine it's similar for other tags.
- sterlind 5y agowait, I'm confused. why was trans banned from titles and tags before? and if it had been banned, why's it allowed in tags now? was twitch assuming the only reason we'd tag our streams as trans because it's a porn thing? if so that's pretty messed up, though not surprising.
