  • Emotes are an important part of how we communicate with one another on Twitch, but they can be used maliciously. So emote combinations, even without additional text used in chat, will be held to this policy


Doesn't this just mean all emotes can be hateful if you look hard enough?

I read most of that post, but I don't know much about their rules. How does this differ from how they work now? Most of that seems like rules that would have already been in place.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it

Because you support the Confederacy or because you're glad you didn't have to see the flag in the first place? lol

I would assume they're talking about the real life display of one as a backdrop or one as like a fixture on the channel's layout. I'd hope they're smart enough to understand situational context, but this is Twitch we're talking about.

If it's a new user with a right-wing name, and 4 Youtube videos in the sig, then it's our resident fake lawyer.

He loses accounts like three times a week.

even if the target of your behavior or comments isnt bothered by them, others in the community may nevertheless feel impacted by it.

They actually put a line in there for people who are offended on behalf of others

For War of Rights? I dunno if that's the case. But there's a a lot of people that spam emotes on twitch and use it to spam hate messages. So good on them for cracking down

The confederacy lasted around 5 years, they fought mainly for slavery, and they lost, badly.

Why people continue to fly the flag of literal racist traitors, is beyond me.

confederate flags should be treated like nazi flags. it's fine in documentaries and museums and other areas where you have historical context. art and media even. but displaying them on your wall is extremely questionable

thats not what that means. It means just because youre intended recipient doesnt care doesnt mean others wont.

so if you tell a racists joke on stream and the person you told it to is like no big deal you can still get in trouble for others who are upset its racist.

its not so you can get offended on someones behalf. Pretty simple shit tbh.

Whilst this is definitely fair enough for this flag specifically, I bet they're gonna one day ban the US flag from being shown because the lefties are already far on their journey to vilify that one too. "It represents a racist state!"

Can't wait for the only acceptable flag to show, ever, to be either the EUSSR flag (which by then will have over a hundred stars on it) or that Earth flag from Futurama.

I want you to read this over and tell me how embarrassed you feel that someone could genuinely form thoughts like these.
