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:
Next week, streamers will be able to select from over 350 new tags related to gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ability, mental health, and more. The list of tags include transgender, Black, disabled, veteran, and Vtuber, among many others. We will also remove references to “ally” from the LGBTQIA+ tag, and are instead creating a standalone ally tag. These additions won’t change how tagging works and are completely optional. They simply give creators more choices.
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 don't know, but thanks to them I'm not purchasing much either these days. Entire consoles (e.g. PS5) have been rendered obsolete, and many companies I would rather just pirate than support in any shape, provided their games even merit pirating in the first place. My wallet is happy, and my hefty backlog of games no longer growing at an unsustainable pace (life longevity).
This is a very long-term, perseverant strategy to normalize cicadas and other bugs as a food source in parallel to soy products. We don't consider a lot of sea-faring creatures as gross but if you consider their objective appearances, of course they are. Especially lobsters.
However, the issue with this is the agenda pushing. It's one thing to seek out different cuisines out of personal choice, and such bugs are completely normal in some societies, and another to be told by our wealthy superiors that cattle and other high-premium food is not fit for peasants.
In many years, society may place cicadas or other bugs in the same tier as shrimp, crab, octopus, or whatever aquatic lifeforms that are not personally identified as repulsive. Few saw the full craziness of CRT and the like, but it's not a short-term task on their part.
Taste like shrimp, but these tacos had to be smothered with so many other ingredients that the diner can't even taste the protein? Right...
Enjoy your organic, free range cicada at hippie prices! I'll stick to beef and the under-water bugs.
Fair enough. I read a lot of stuff, so even though I don't use social media (in the vein of Twitter, Facebook), these things naturally make their way through. For the longest time, I either didn't use Reddit or occasionally read it for news aggregation...most of my time was either on work or sports (gave that up eventually).
Good names. Still haven't checked out Uzaki, but the recent recommendation of Dungeon Builder by Gerry Conway prompted this thread - https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2021/05/17/power-girl-co-creator-labels-manga-as-sexist-misogynistic/
The manga was decent, not earth shatteringly good but definitely not a bad read. Unlike modern comics.
It made me think about all of the stuff over the years they've been screeching about, and which names held up.
Some titles that I can recall off memory...
Game - Omega Labyrinth - Rogue dungeon crawler where girls absorb ω power that inflates their breast size, and physical abilities, while in the dungeon. Very addictive.
Anime - Interspecies Reviewers - Best, funniest anime ever about interspecies brothel reviews.
LN - Rising of the Shield Hero - Story about an isekai protagonist, who can only defend, being framed by the country's royalty. Pretty decent read, but it spoiled towards the latter stages after his tunnel vision clears and his character changes.
Manga - Goblin Hunter - Heartwarming story about an adventurer teaming up with others and hunting goblins. Manga was the initial entry point, but I flipped to the LNs after.
I haven't watched Twitch in a while, and I used it mainly for occasional CS:GO tournaments and such.
Found out there were ads recently. You can try Video Ad-Block, for Twitch to see if it's a good work-around...lowers the video quality for the ad duration and then reverts back to normal.
Installed it, but I still don't use Twitch, so no idea if it works reliably. Don't have much use for the site either way.
What if you're against anime, most especially the promotion of it among men and especially the hentai?
Don't worry, this community has been infested with plenty of censorious faggots over time with no ethical backbone. You'll find yourself in good company.
right, but one could just as well ask: how many of the people who are angry about this, are mostly attracted to the outrage and culture war aspects.
A lot, and yes, that applies to plenty of people in this community and platform.
Some of the habitually offended do, in fact, have some financial stake in what they argue for, but I think we've seen enough examples over the years that they do not represent the aggregate consumer base. Their existence is not meaningful in these types of discussions.
Otherwise media such as Ghostbusters and modern-day comics would be selling like gangbusters instead of severely disappointing or outright standing at a deficit. It probably does draw in some newer audience while hemorrhaging others; the net balance matters.
I mean, it's 'Murrica. What do we give a shit about that prancy sport? Watching athletes try to kill each other is way more fun.
Other nations should be embarrassed that they lost at their own damn sport. Disappointed by their other half...
She was on the (women's) national World Cup team, show some damn respect!
Maybe she won on that same team that had 15-minutes of fame because some bint ripped off her top in celebration and went on to earn some lucrative underwear sponsorship deal.

I'm not really impressed by these authors' writing. They think their prose is way better than it actually is.
The argument against the death penalty used to be (a) that innocent people are judged guilty and that should never be accepted, and (b) the cost of retrials ends up more expensive in the long-term than lifelong prison sentences.
Given how propagandized things have become with academia, I have questions whether (b) is actually true. It used to be something that made sense, but in hindsight who knows what falsifications were made; where as for (a) we have clear and undeniable evidence of the wrongfully convicted.
Liberals push recidivation policies quite a bit. Some of it makes sense, but of course, they can't be entirely taken as being of good faith. Deprivatization of prisons might be a safe-ish topic given the clear conflict of interest, even when balanced against governmental inefficiencies.
End conclusion of this post in response to your flippant comment being used as a spring-board? Thanks, academia, for fucking up all faith, good will, and trust, so we can't have serious conversations due to your willful agenda pushing about idiocy like transgenderism and Burn Loot Murder.
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.
