This is the use of "political" in which cis straight white men just of course get human rights, but everyone else's rights are a "political" matter. What's considered "not political" is a good guide to where privilege lies.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

As the saying goes: there are two genders, male and political.
And it goes along with two political positions: conservative (normal) and political.
Great, now anything that worries advertisers will be considered "political and sensitive". Surely nothing can go wrong with that.
Meanwhile they spend millions of dollars lobbying without needing a label. Let's get those on our politicians like at NASCAR.
... what even is Twitch anymore?
An Amazon owned streaming platform.
It's where I go to watch speedruns of Super Metroid and reruns of MST3K.
There are so many better places to watch reruns of MST3K.
With live chat? That's why I like to watch them on Twitch.
YouTube has live chat for it, but that's not what I'm into.
A dumpster fire, drama generation website comprised primarily of yapping narcissist sociopaths, simps, just-barely-not-pornstars, and insufferable v tubers...
...all of which is monetized and gamified as all hell, and aimed at mostly children and young adults....
...which consistently fails at defining and enforcing its code of conduct...
...all of this to be essentially a platform for advertisements.
Oh, did I mention they probably still are not even profitable?
If Bezos is brazen enough to tell WaPo to not endorse Kamala, its not much of a stretch to imagine this Amazon owned, giant corporate advertisement platform will soon be getting pared down and scaled back, further monetized/ad-infested, have much more draconian content regulation/censorship, and/or just shut down in the next year or so.
I don't like capitalism.
I don't like censorship.
But Twitch is basically a giant corpo run simulation of human interaction whose ~~parasocial addicts~~ users have the false impression that its some kind of staple, constant feature of their lives.
It isn't, it is a failing business, and I really get the feeling that a whole lot of Twitch users are going to basically have their brains broken when it starts acting much more like a failing business.
Softcore streaming service SSS for short.
Hey I get free skins for Elite Dangerous ships by watching partner streams -.-
Sometimes it's cool to just chill and chat with a streamer for a bit too.
I personally only stream to YouTube because 4k60 with A1V 🥹.
That being said ewwww to all this.
Clearly they are bending over for corpo overlords.
Yea I'll wear a real life trigger warning for the poor homophobe babies. 🤬 Lol.
Took them a while to label the hot tub titty streams, from what I remember.
