That tweet wasn't transphobic.

Thank you so much for this comment. As a streamer who’s wife has been harassed by both men and women after doing a stream with another female gamer (stuff like “You should date me instead of that cheating asshole, I’d never do that to you” or “You’re a slut who’s married to an unloyal man” and other things, despite…

this opinion is just a sub-opinion of ‘these online personalities should behave the way i want them to’ - you’ve just rationalized it to yourself.

Since I don’t directly comment to greys—and especially greys with backward ass opinions—here goes:

Most news sources use longer headlines that essentially try to sum up the article in a sentence or so. The one above is probably too much, sure. But it’s just an example. It could have been improved tremendously just by adding the words “I think” in front of it, because then it comes off as the opinion piece that it…

This is bad Kinja. 

“I don’t want to do this because it makes me and my family uncomfortable,” is full-enough reason not to do something, full stop.

People are free to comment on his decision and disagree with it. They’re not free to say that he should do something he isn’t comfortable doing. He’s putting his family first and that’s commendable. Nathan is essentially being a bully by using this headline and it should be changed. Even though the article reads a lot…

Stop telling people what they should do on their own channels

I find that his option is probably the worst of the good options available to him. It is also the least “work”. Could he have done something else? Sure. Does he have to? No. Almost all of the other options disrespect his ability to choose to have his work not strain his relationship.

“while they understand where Ninja is coming from, in steering clear of women streamers he’s squandering a huge opportunity to help change the perception of women on Twitch”

Um, no. He should just protect his wife and his marriage. Yes he’s in a position of power at twitch but he shouldn’t have to weigh that power vs his family. That’s silly to me. 

He doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t feel comfortable doing. Seems like a pretty valid reason to avoid unnecessary drama.

He makes himself perfectly clear as to why he choose not to. And everybody should just approve and retreat back to their dwellings. Powerful a presence as he might be, he would not make a dent in anything what so ever. Perception of woman on Twitch is 100% controlled by its users, which are adolescent kids with raging…

Or we could just let him do what he wants? im not being a dick or bashing the article its a good read but at the end of the day its his job and he will work his job how he sees fit.

So his completely understandable fears about rumors and gossip possibly rising to destroy his family aren’t as important as playing games with women publicly?

He may not play with Woman, but he does “RAID” them all the time. I have seen him send 100K viewers to woman streamers. There is little difference.

Yes they would benefit more from his presence, but
many many streamers gained their success from the same method. NINJA himself earned his followers from a host from Summit…

Stupid controversies that somehow existed:

Yeah, not looking for a teachable moment, Rupe.  I’m quite content to be mad at these fucks.

Not for sharing with Luigi, apparently.
