Twitch is a complete hellhole of toxicity, especially for women.
People get all defensive when you say that because they never want to admit that women may have it worse in some ways and think that if you admit it then it makes you some '' Feminist cuck '' or whatever immature stupid bullshit they say.
But it's just objectively true.
Yeah, everyone takes shit on Twitch but men don't have to deal with your gender being such a tiny minority on the site on top of having a majority of the audience being prone to sexualize and creep on you publically without your consent.
Most women don't like unwanted attention like this, and they don't even have to wear skimpy clothes to be creeped on. There's a ton of female streamers who wear fucking turtle necks and still have people constantly creep on them, entire forums exists solely to do it even where people comb throw all of your videos to try and find even just short parts where you raise your arms or something because they think it's sexy.
I think that this is quite widespread tbh.
Like in League of Legends for example every time a new skin or female character is announced you get this big group of people who nitpick the character or skin into oblivion and will label the character or skin '' slutty '' and worse if she shows even just slight amounts of skin. Meanwhile dudes can have their shirts off in ice cold weather and no one even asks if they're cold or demands some kind of a justification for it.
People are just so incapable of not being creeps and not sexualizing womens bodies at all times it seems.
And just look at the way that people talk about the female characters in LoL for example that I am referring to, I think that it's indicative of real views they have. A normal sane and a person with a healthy sexuality doesn't label a woman a whore and a slut because she has a v-neck or wears a skirt, but that's basically the norm if you read discussions surrounding these characters or Twitch chat.
People often complain that '' sexualized characters '' demean and alienate women but I don't think that's true, I think that men who can't control themselves whether it be the Resetera crowd ( who also objectify and creep on women, just in another way. ) or your typical '' Gamer '' misogynist who gets an erection even by women in turtle necks.
And then the women get blamed for it.
What are they supposed to do? Not exist? She's basically wearing a perfectly normal top in this video even.
She's showing arms *gasp*, the audacity.
Sometimes I wonder if people doing this just never had any sisters and had super ultra puritan parents, because it's like these people have never seen a woman showing ankles or whatever the fuck before. And the worst part about it is that they're totally unapologetic about it and even proud at times. Like they're actually proud about their misogyny.
The last thing that I will say might shock and surprise some people.
But believe it or not, even cam girls have boundaries. Most cam girls have rules for what you can and can't say in chat and you will get banned if you break those rules and I think that a lot of people would be surprised by how strict the rules often can be. They actually do demand quite a bit of respect from their audience. They want to be in control, because they're the ones putting themselves out there and it's their stream.
Why should women on Twitch who aren't even cam girls have to put up with things that cam girls don't even put up with?
I think the issue is that some guys grow up without a sister or sit in those bible belts what we call them super religious community's where girls are needing to be covered up 100% because everything is sexual and it just makes them absolutely obnoxious weird.
eh, i disagree. don't need to shove everyone into a pr0n/non pr0n category. there can be a spectrum. i mean we live in an era where people enjoy listening to ASMR. there are many ways to service people over the internet.Wish they'd just go straight to pornhub so we could avoid these cases where they pretend to not know what is driving the transaction.
oh yeah down in the Bible belt where all women are covered up LOOOOOLHey now, don't go blaming the Bible belt! I grew up there, and I'm fine.
I don’t get these females, she’s clearly attractive. Why would she care what people, who she will probably never meet in person, think. It’s pretty pathetic, on both sides.
this is my stance. i start watching the video, look away cos its uncomfortable to see a crying person, and the only thing i have to look at is a messy couch with laundry all over itDid she ever get around to folding those clothes on the couch? It's bothering me.
No. The people on Era are aware they will get a ban the minute they post anything even suggesting that she is not the victim she pretends to be, so they have very circlejerk colored replies. The people that are critical exist there as well, but they don't post in these threads. Era is basically a dictatorship of the brain, it's the opposite of free speech.Some of the comments here would make ResetEra cry LOL

Just a joke m8Awww c'mon man, it's not like that. It's just kind of a pet peeve of mine when it comes to streaming. I stream myself and I'm always particular that any wayward messiness is either off camera or properly taken care of beforehand.
male gamers onlybut sure, gamers are the source of the world's misogyny yet again.
Atleast she still has the white knights on her side.To be fair we don't know the real reason she was crying - perhaps it was because she remembered giving up a real career to be hollered at by juvenile morons.
What about this Tifa?
this is perfection
What scorn are you talking about?eh, i disagree. don't need to shove everyone into a pr0n/non pr0n category. there can be a spectrum. i mean we live in an era where people enjoy listening to ASMR. there are many ways to service people over the internet.
at any rate who cares what is "driving the transaction"? does it really make a difference if i'm tuning in to watch a women shoot zombies in the face vs tuning in to watch some cleavage? is watching someone shoot imaginary zombies morally superior than looking at life giving titties? why is one form of entertainment scorned? consumer elitism imo. slap a "not for kids" warning and have your fun.
What about this Tifa?
So, basically, "Young girl realizes the internet is full of horny insensitive pricks?"
The plan worked!Im just suscribe her channel only because she looks like a nice person and i always support Asian people, i think they are marvelous and poor girl.
She dont deserve it.
Advertise as the victim and people will support you.The plan worked!
