This is great, just like the black owned business thing from google it'll make it significantly easier to avoid certain businesses.
This came out around the same time news about the Hot Tub meta, but has been overlooked. I think it merits mention.
If you want to support mental illness, they have several such categories:
Note the very pozzed Black with a capitalized B. How brave and inclusive.
I don't really use Twitch much, but looking into it, you can't exclude tags today, but you can include them. Based on Twitch's past, I doubt they'll add that feature, and definitely would expect them to restrict what you could exclude even if they did.
However, there are certain extensions that apparently support this, so if you are an avid Twitch user, rejoice! Amazon is helping you blacklist all of their mental illness.
I just love how liberals force you to air your private affairs online. Like they reward you oversharing and fucking your own privacy in the ass.
The mental health tag should be an automatic tag for anybody that uses these tags cause they are all psychos
Mental health is a tag?
You mean I can single out mentally ill people to harass? Didn't think that through very well did you twitch.
No no, see, they'll just ban you for breaking the rules if you do that. Please don't make another account with a throwaway email, though, that's also against the rules. And no IP-hopping with proxies, either! You better not!
All that could be summed up with a 'Money' or 'Attention' tag. Maybe we could get a 'Daddy Issues' tag as well.
Simple.. just tag yourself everything lol. There is no way to prove you are lgbt to twitch. And say you identify as black and disabled vet lol.

I finally ditched twitch after the whole pogchamp cancellation but I should have done it a long time ago
The front page was regularly promoting trannies and the noose around "partnered" streamers was squeezing tighter and tighter in terms of what they were allowed to say even gently pushing the boundaries of the narrative. The chat was stifled even harder in any remotely popular channel.
Trovo might not have more than a couple of dozen viewers and most of it is mobile games but at least there is some level of freedom in terms of chat topics.
About time. Porn sites have had the ability to filter only by gay or straight for years.
Can we get a based tag?
i.e., Twitch goes full bigot.
I was writing out a note when you responded with the same sentiment. Yes, it's a good thing, just not in the way they envision.
Being Twitch, you can trust them not to implement such a feature, and if it was, they'd prevent certain tags from exclusion 'cuz muh diversity.
Can we get a tag to block black owned businesses? It's the inverse of how if a place has really cheap look but a lot of followers it must be so good to make up for that: if a place needs to advertise diversity to survive it must be trash.
