Twitch proposes really cool idea that would be good PR but instead makes it biggest self-own ever

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I've never cared much for online video content like Twitch or YouTube, aside from one or two commentators and some video essay channels, but Twitch's draconian language policing has always bothered me. Generally speaking, whenever words are banned regardless of context it makes me angry and Twitch does that a lot.

Not that Twitch would actually ban the word "woman" but still, pushing this womxn and Latinx nonsense is stupid and is an insult.

Wait, what words has Twitch banned?

"simp". Not sure if there are any others.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but don't they have a long list of words that are banned in any context regardless of if they're used as an insult or not?

Sounds dumb as hell, but frankly Twitch itself sounds dumb as hell to me. I like to play video games, not watch other people play video games.

I'm very pleased by this since this seems to imply that the term "womxn" is now officially cancelled. Hopefully we can now roll back even further and abolish "Latinx" and "folx" as well.

You love to see it!

Let's hope.

It was 'the trans' that called out this nonsense.

Twitter had a field day with the trending topics of wxman and latinx, yesterday. The point was right too, having people not in your circle pumping out this s*** is dumb because it's usually hipster woke white leftists. It's annoying and doesn't help anyone. Real Progressives are trying to fix wages for low income households, not hipster woke non-binary Terri. I don't fully understand gender fluidness, but hey to each their own. I totally support transgender rights, but at some point we need to take a step back or the LGBTQ community does and be like, wtf seriously?
