Twitch declares “Zionist” a slur — and a bannable offense
Twitch declares “Zionist” a slur — and a bannable offense
After calls for Twitch to address antisemitism on the platform, the site’s hateful conduct policy now includes “Zionist” as a potential slur. Twitch specifies this is conditional: you’re allowed to discuss the political movement of that name, but not “attack or demean another individual or group of ...
Ethan and Hila Klein are filthy Zionists.
Next, "apartheid" will be anti-Semitic.
Hey everybody has a right to a racist ethnostate how dare people criticize the idea.
Zionists really captured that platform.
You forgot your /s
Congrats on your Bush era islamaphonia you ghoul
It's great how people are gathering and having discussions under heavily censored platforms owned by billionaries, just amazing.
And on top of that, pretty much all the platforms, even all the way down to this one, are censored in at least one increasingly-relevant way.
Friendly reminder that selfhosted streaming exists (Owncast) or online alternatives like PeerTube.
Can we make Twitch a slur for terrible tech companies.
All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol
OK, so people can use the definition instead. In fact it might be more useful.
I'm willing to get this will increase the amount of actual ethnic slurs.
It's their goal. They want to conflate jewishness and israel because they need the world to be antisemitic.
Otherwise people would just leave.
Twitch has become garbage anyway. I’m more on Kick for streams nowadays.
Anyway wasn’t “Zionist” suppose to be a good term for these murderers? Whether they make it a banable word, screw them. Those who defend Israel, their genocidal actions and claim that the land “belongs to them, the colonizers” are Zionists.
Ewww
Calling zionism what it is shouldn't be discouraged with dog whistles masquerading as conduct policies.
At the same time I'd like to remind folks that not all Jewish people subscribe to Zionism.
There are a couple Jewish lead organizations that fight for the freedom of Palestine and have been very critical of Israel for many years.
Jewish Voices for Freedom is one group. I wonder how they'd feel about Twitches new policy. I'm genuinely curious what their opinion would be.
At the same time I’d like to remind folks that not all Jewish people subscribe to Zionism.
Further to this, the majority of zionists are christians.
