I love what the sword icon for Twitch moderators is supposed to represent.

Everyone knows a sword is a very great combat weapon. Whenever someone had a melee weapon in the old days, you will usually see someone with a sword, be it one-handed or two-handed. A sword represents power and skill, since wars were commonly fought with people in the front lines using them. However, a sword is more than just mere power. If a person just has sheer power, then they will easily be destroyed as they will not be able to keep up with someone. As well as this, it represents a responsibility. Most knights back in the old days were knighted by the king tapping them on both shoulders with his sword. The sword is supposed to be a representation of the responsibility of the mods. Not only does the broadcaster reflect upon the chat, but the mods do as well. If there are strict mods in a Twitch chat, then the broadcaster may be put in a negative light because of the limited free speech. However, a mod that does no action reflects poorly as well since they stand idly by while other people are making a bad reflection of the chat (aka the "chat experience"). The mods must be swift, but not with brute force as to abuse their powers (just like how a sword must be agile, but not strong enough as to break the blade).

I think you're reading wayyyyy too far into this, sort of like how my english teachers have always read wayyyyy too far into author's reasoning and deduced that authors must be feeling one way, when they most likely weren't.

 

I wrote a short story for an english class once, my 12th grade final project, and my teacher wrote a glowing note and an analysis of it, and told me she loved the way I analyzed and satirized something that I literally gave no thought to as I wrote the story. People just LOVE to overanalyze things and find hidden meanings that were never meant to be there and the creators didn't consciously leave.

Ohoh, looking back at this, I really wonder how true it is. I'm making a comic where one of the characters has a superiority complex and to reflect this, I'm making her the tallest one in the room and always stand straight. It's such a small detail that I wonder if anybody will ever notice it.
