i have some familiarity with sentiment / intent detection in context heavy environments (gaming and VR) and absolutely agree that labeling is both a fundamental and very nuanced problem. an ML PhD was hired to work on toxicity detection, and a primary activity in his first several months was manually watching and labeling game replays - what a use of all that education!

there's something to be said for utilizing community-based reporting as a form of expert labeling for integrity issues specifically, but that's not a silver bullet and has its own baggage

Gaming is a really fun and interesting labeling domain, given the community jargon (I'm actually a big Twitch user, but still couldn't tell you what many common emotes mean... took me years to understand "poggers") and context (is "i'm going to kill Garen" a death threat or in-game action?).
