    Sounds more like a problem of failing to moderate bigotry, not a social issues problem. The existence of LGBTQ+ people who stream is not a social issue; assholes demanding they go away is

      That is exactly what a “social issue” is. Bigotry, racism, sexism, all “social issues”. They’re not political issues, or economic issues or environmental issues. No, they’re social issues. Issues where people with differing social values cannot come to an immediate agreement. A social issues.

      Moderating these issues are a notorious problem for all social media platforms. It’s been a topic of debate,even political debate for years now. Mostly about racism and cyber bullying, but lgbtq+ discrimination can go here as well.
