Twitch removed the tag "Blind Playthrough", some people thank them for being progressive, some blind ppl say "DON'T SPEAK FOR ME." Some ppl call to boycott Cyberpunk because it hurts the trans community, some trans folx said "NO IT DOESN'T HURT ME." And everybody has a point.

Using "blind" in that sense is ableist. You can say 'first playthrough' and it gets the same idea across without using the word "blind."
You can be doing a first playthrough but are accepting help, using a guide, or coming in with knowledge from other creators or videos you've watched. Then it's not the same as what a "blind" playthrough typically entails. Which terms would you suggest to differentiate? :)

In this case "no spoilers" and/or "no backseat gaming" get that point across
-
Not really, as you can not want spoilers or backseat gaming but have some knowledge about the game

I don't feel like this question is being asked in good faith so I'm not really interested in participating in this discussion with you.

It genuinely was, I'm always interested in being more inclusive and to not unintentionally cause offense or harm. I've been using blind playthrough and first playthrough as different terms for years as a creator. I'd love alternatives that differentiate, and it could help others!
