The year 2027: “The word Nazi is now a slur, please don’t call the Nazis Nazis.”

it all depends on the implementation tbh. At best this’ll be tone policing of antizionists that would never be applied to islamophobes, but at worst it could be as you say, justification for mass censorship of anti-zionist content

I don’t think it’ll just stop at censoring people using “zionist pigs” as an insult (which isn’t antisemitic to begin with ofc), it’ll probably go further because the people that cajoled twitch into making this change in the first place will keep pushing those same buttons (threatening advertisers with smear campaigns) again and again, but there must be limits to how far they can be pushed

I’ve seen so many people who self-identify as a Zionist (by just openly saying “I’m a Zionist”) insist that Zionist is a slur. But then why are you proudly using it to describe yourself!?

Can’t even stream reggae music anymore. Twitch is babylon.

Slurs are when you correctly identify someone by the name of the political ideology they adhere too.

twitch is owned by jeff bezos. jeff vezos is a billionaire.

So fuck twitch (and streaming in general tbh) but it seems like an easy workaround is just to call them genocide supporters or settler-colonizers.

A lot of Americans believe that Israel controls the US. Stuff like this feeds into that for the uninformed.

Has the ban hammer already hit Hasan? He’s normally live by now.

using the term “Zionist” to attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief is against our rules. We recognize that “Zionist” and “Zionism” also refer to a political movement. Using the term to refer to the political movement, whether in a supportive or critical way, does not violate our Hateful Conduct policy.

The way it’s written suggests they intend to use it to go after antisemites who use zionist to mean jew, but the total opaqueness of twitch moderation and the context of the ADL trying to silence antizionists on twitch makes me think they’re going to go after anyone who doesn’t support the genocide in gaza, namely Hasan instead.

Actually they’re certainly going to do both, but mostly the latter, given how integral the settler colonial project is to Israeli identity.

We prohibit the use of terms that may not be harmful or abusive in isolation, but can be used as a slur or to denigrate others in certain contexts. Similar to other terms that may be used as a proxy for a protected group, we treat “Zionists” as a proxy for Jews or Israelis if the word is used in a context to promote harm or violence, or when used to make dehumanizing comparisons or perpetuate antisemitic stereotypes. Comments regarding Zionism that are about the political movement, including criticisms, do not violate our Hateful Conduct Policy. Comments that call for violence against Zionism as a political movement, or comments that would otherwise violate our policies, are not allowed.

Prohibited example: Zionist [name of animal].

Allowed example: Zionist settlers keep encroaching Palestinian borders.

Better to call them what they are Zionazis. Zionsim is not a religion. It is a racist ethno-supremacy fascistic ideology. It uses the mask of a religion as Hitler did with the Swastika to shield it. People should rebel. The entity is lashing out in desperation.

in amerikkka settler colonists are a protected class

people will just start calling them genocidal apartheid-supporters instead

or maybe fascist isn’t a slur yet

death to america, death to the zionist entity, death to kkkrackadom

We’ll call them nazionists, totally different thing and unrelated to isn’treal
