Recently CEO Sara Clemens came out to talk about new Trust and Safety policies on Twitch. She was quickly quoted by Slasher on Twitter for citing examples in the Twitch Town Hall about banning the words simp, incel, and virgin. In this video I want to break down the corporate view of this issue and how Twitch and Twitch staff are thinking about the issue. 

In this video about Twitch TOS and Community Guidelines, I talk about what the future of the change in Twitch rules means for Twitch, how much this matters to the future of streaming, and what the truth about the ban on simp, incel, and virgin means.   

There's a lot of misunderstanding here from people that read headlines. Part of this is Twitch's lack of communication. Twitch could still do a lot better to fix communication with streamers.
