Identity politics is all about witch hunts ultimately. It requires targeting, attacking, hunting and splitting people by tribes. If there are not enough targets, more will be made by inventing new divisions. Once you begin dividing people so aggressively by identity - as is happening now - cultural war inevitably breaks out. Tribalism always leads to conflict. What Twitch and all other social media platforms have begun doing is an inevitable consequence of that cultural war, they're very willing participants.

You want a prediction for the future re this subject that is a certainty? The big tech companies will require (and will deploy) military style protection and will have to wall off their campuses in the not very distant future. No other outcome is possible given where things are heading, the cultural tension will keep rising until it explodes.
