Woman crying over this is just reinforcing gender stereotypes.

If you show that targeted harassments campaigns are impacting your livelihood, there may be something there.

The person who made the site won't do it again after facing a damages judgement from a big streamer their harassment campaign cost $1M.

 

[Dr_Salt]

I wonder if reee is gonna report on this.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I wonder if reee is gonna report on this.

Probably salute spineless parent basement dwellers that did it.

Full serious: just have fucking chat moderation and start kicking people out. How hard can it be? Get some Reeeee mods to help, they are good with the ban hammer.

 

[hemo memo]

What was that Batman quote again? You either die a hero or live long enough to become transphobic?

I believe the quote was “You either die a hero or live long enough to dispute simple biology”

 

[jaysius]

They even made a website to bully any streamer that plays "THAT WIZZARD GAME".

This is fucked up.

 

[Kacho]

Can't you just block the chatter?

Yep. But part of being a streamer is engaging with your audience.

However if you cater to crazies this is what you get imo. Cultivate a better audience.

Also

 

[RedC]

Perhaps I'm too old, but is logging off the internet too much to ask or I don't know, disabling chat?

 

[Sw0pDiller]

We give those ,0002 pct of our population called idiots. Too much attention.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Seems harsh. I'm sure they're used to chat being fun and supportive.

I don't think they were expecting to get the reactions they did, and when you're unprepared, you get thrown off. The degree they were receiving them was probably completely new to them as well. I can't really blame them.


I mean, I don't think that's a fair thing to say. Every person is different, regardless if they're a content creator or not. For instance, SHE was crying and he wasn't. Moving to subscribers only was the swiftest action for them to take, and I'm sure it helped quite a bit.

Yeah I know I'm jaded, but I just can't scrounge up any empathy here. He should've cut the stream, regrouped and came back online wielding the banhammer. If this was new to them, it was a professional learning experience long overdue.

I can't wait until Asmongold streams this game and the bots come for him. It's going to be hilarious.

 

[daveonezero]

This is so insane. As if there aren’t real homophonic or transphobic people that have worked on any number of games.

Or worse offenses.

I mean turn the chat off….

 

[rodrigolfp]

Imagine crying because what a bunch of randoms on internet writh...

 

[Evolved1]

Narcissists are immune to objective self-reflection. That's what makes them narcissistic.

They literally cannot appreciate the irony of their actions and beliefs.

 

[K' Dash]

yeah, you have to realize how small of a pct they are, it's nothing, loud as fuck tho.

 

[jaysius]

Can't you just block the chatter?

Doesn't go over so well these days.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I wonder if reee is gonna report on this.

They were probably in on it. Bet.

 

[Ceallach]

All Adult Harry Potter fans deserve to be bulied though, tbh.

 

[ssringo]

Scumbags. And funny enough Reeeeeee fucking loves Girlfriend Reviews lol. Maybe not anymore.

Was my first thought as well. My second thought was "and they'll turn on you in an instant over nothing".

Disgusting and pathetic.

 

[tkscz]

Narcissists are immune to objective self-reflection. That's what makes them narcissistic.

Yep. If them NEEDING to see themselves in everything in order for that thing to be considered good didn't clue you in to their narcissism, openly attacking people, gaslighting people and then claiming you're innocent of such things should be the next biggest clue. They are text book narcissist who hand around with other narcissist to boost their own validation.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Imagine crying because what a bunch of randowns on internet right...

I played sports at a very high level in the 1990s and I wouldn't read the newspapers the next day to keep all that noise silent but I couldn't imagine playing today with the 24/7 news cycle/social media BS

 

[Neff]

Ideals and principles are concepts these people hide behind so they can be complete fucking cunts to individuals they've never met with total moral impunity. The ultra-left and PC warriors call Rowling a preacher of hate but I've never once heard her utter a hateful word. Meanwhile they happily spew their own bile indiscriminately towards her and anyone else who fails to do likewise without a shred of self awareness.

It's normalised misanthropy at best, outright mental illness at worst.

 

[solidus12]

That's insane.

 

[RedC]

Dare I say, they could ignore it as well.

Could be a number of reasons why they didn't cut it, maybe it was sponsored to some degree? Who knows? Just a learning experience for sure. For as many people saying that they're polite, sweet, humble, etc. These kind of people aren't used to the trash people other big streamers deal with. Shame they got targeted.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Awww poor baby.

But seriously... bullying a streamer, for playing a popular game? LOL

What is even going on anymore

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Dare I say, they could ignore it as well.

A lot of people can't

Even some of the biggest athletes in todays world can not stay off social media and some really let it get to them

Especially a streamer getting constant harassments trying to make a living interacting with chat?

These streamers should put it in sub only mode so they have to at least pay you to harass you might really slow it down at least

 

[DenchDeckard]

so, who are the real enemies?.....

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I don't really have interest in this game or Harry Potter, but it's like the cancel culture cult are bullying me into buying it and streaming it. I don't even stream games.

 

[Knightime_X]

He clearly has the tools to counter the harassment.
Moderators, requirements met before being able to chat. etc.
Use them.

 

[saintjules]

Ehhh, rather not. I'll remember Etika's words differently.

 

[fermcr]

Was going to wait for a sale before purchasing the game... now I'll purchase it on release and sent a big FUCK YOU to all the trolls and idiots.

J. K. Rowling will likely receive more money because of my purchase.

 

[Aranea]

This sucks. We are really living on the age were people are getting harassed by playing a video game. Honestly i though i have seen it all but damn.

 

[Forsythia]

Read about this, and it turns out to be Girlfriend Reviews? The most wholesome reviewers on YouTube? Did any of these idiots actually watch any of their videos? What the fuck is wrong with people.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Ehhh, rather not. I'll remember Etika's words differently.

Most people do not let words bother them but some are not as strong

Again going back to my time in sports but sitting in the bullpen close to the fans you hear every insult imaginable and like myself I would laugh and think "That was a good one"

But some guys really took that shit to heart

 

[Gorgyles]

The kinds of people who dominate the comments section are not the kinds of people you'd ever listen to or take seriously in your normal life.

But also, just mute the chat or walk away. Crying because somebody on the internet was rude is such a first world rich woman issue.

Just close your eyes and the bullying stops.

 

[Reallink]

I assumed this channel was woker than Gary Busey in a cocaine factory as the only place I've ever seen it is retardera. Do they not know who their audience is, what were they thinking?

 

[ExcitableBoy]

The militant trans folk are the nastiest of the lot.

 

[pauljeremiah]

the woke circle of life : you either die a martyr or live long enough to see yourself become the bigot

 

[El Pistolero]

This is what you get by being nice to these spineless little shits, instead of holding your ground and giving them the middle finger, or a good old-fashioned smack on their botox-injected lips. The parasites have been catered to so much, they think it is their right to humiliate, harass and viciously attack anybody with a different view to their diseased one.

 

[fart town usa]

They are a delusional cult. All they want is power and influence and if you step out of line they will try to destroy your life.

When you take the Devil's money prepare to deal with demons.

Right but imagine if you had the power to specifically curate the audience coming to see you play, and anytime someone opened their mouth to insult you they'd be escorted out before those words left their lips. That's the power of Twitch moderation. It's not even comparable to the stuff you and yours went through.

 

[DAHGAMING]

What a bunch of weird horrible cunts.

Very true if you have enough mods depending on how big your chat is

Edit - And there are key things you can say in todays stadiums that will get you tossed as well

 

[SmokedMeat]

Don’t they have mods to kick these fuckwits?

They want to cry about others being toxic, while being equally toxic. Fuck these people.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Woman crying over this is just reinforcing gender stereotypes.

I wouldn't even call it a stereotype. Just a reality of our differing biology.

[radewagon]

Extremism is wrong regardless of which side of an argument you are on. You have every right to believe what you want about JK Rowling, Hogwarts Legacy, or Transgender politics. Just don't be a jerk about it. I, personally, am not buying Legacy. Yes, because of JK. I dunno, the merry terfmas thing was a crass comment too far I guess. But that's me. I'm not going to pressure people to follow my lead. Thats their business and their choice to make.

Peeps need to chill. All these echo chambers are driving society mad.

 

[El Pistolero]

so, who are the real enemies?.....

The purple-haired "friends" you have made along the way.

 

[mdkirby]

The whole thing is so messed up. I can literally only think of 2 AAA games where you can play as a trans character, cyberpunk and Harry Potter. And cyber punk it’s borderline comedic, and is 18+. Making Harry Potter the only really mainstream game where kids playing it, regardless of their gender identity or ethnicity can see themselves both in their character or in the hugely diverse cast.

Trans advocates should be singing its praises from the rooftops, yet instead they attack lgbtq actors from the game, want the game to fail, or to not exist at all, want to ban all discussion of it, and attack anyone who dares to enjoy or want to play it.

It. Makes. Zero. Fucking. Sense.
