How do you fuck this game up so badly? One of the biggest IPs on Earth, anything Marvel, hell superheroes, still basically prints money, and this has been a colossal failure from day one. I mean, Anthem wasn’t as bad, Fallout 76 wasn’t as bad at this point, how did this happen?

Nah, a rational person would realize that top male streamers also have multiple sources of revenue, so it balances back out to the women still not making nearly as much.

“These figures are missing a lot of information,” he said, and then proceeded to provide exactly no data to back up his points.

No, I’m not. You’re idiotically agreeing that there’s “missing information” and that we have to assume these facts are meaningless. That’s exactly the kind of intentional dumbassery I’m describing. Claiming Gref’s comment should be at the top shows you’re signing up to join the moron club, because the alternative…

I mean yes. Yes exactly. Childish comments like yours are a big part of why women need more patience than most when trying to break into a market saturated with people who act and talk like you.

This comment section would not be complete without men complaining obliquely that women and trans folk get mentioned at all on Twitch, because it’s ‘positive discrimination’ to do so. You act as though it’s morally questionable to take actions to -counteract- the white public’s erasure of creators of color and women,…

‘Twitch does nothing to deter women from doing anything men can do on the platform’ Lol how many more years are we gonna take gaslighting like this. You know that not taking action to combat misogynistic biases of other people and the harm that results IS still taking a side, right?

Everyone knows exposed cleavage and boobies ruin children’s and teenagers lives. Only in America could we be okay with endless images and references to violence but seize on the exposed flesh of a woman’s bosom. You do realize there are countries that have nudity on billboards and public advertisements for ALL to see…

Or you can just remember all the people telling you that minors make up a small part of Twitch’s userbase, that links to OnlyFans are allowed on pretty much most social media, and that the crisis you are concerned for isn’t really a crisis. It is possible to care about this issue, but too many folks exaggerate their…

Why aren’t women doing this? Are you out of your mind? Go to the stream of any smaller female streamer and look at the chat, esp. If they can’t afford professional moderators.

It isn't going to change the picture and you repeatedly trying to deceive people into thinking it is, is frankly shameful. The lie that streamers like that are stealing view or dominating view is still being repeated and yet is obviously bullshit. And other female streamers, those who aren't doing sexual stuff,…

No it should not. Its a juvenile and shallow take that has been used to attempt to dismiss every social, political or scientific issue in the last fifty odd years.

Lot of people in the comments “Well actually, if you like...factor in all this super secret hidden money that I have no figures for, then all these Hot Tub Boobie Ladies are actually trillionaires”

Twitch is not a sexist or anti minority platform, in fact it engages in

and there it is.

misogyny is a hell of a drug, and it goes beyond acne-addled neckbeards. We are all products of this environment, one that caters to rich white males. So a number of attitudes are normalize to a point that we don’t even recognize we’re doing it.

They don’t want Twitch to do anything, they want to stop encountering mile deep posts about how “titty streamers are whores that are sifting the money from honest streamer’s pockets.”

But... that’s what’s weird. Even if any of those streamers got to the numbers that make this list (which I doubt) for like a month or two, the fact that this doesn’t even make a blip on the top 100 earners over a two year period is enough of an indication that the whole thing was (is) blown out of proportion. If your…

Bit of a weird take. The hot tub thing may be a brief fad, but people have been whining about “titty streamers” for years. The August thing is pretty valid, and if you can divide you can figure out the average take per month of the top earners in the other list.

Damn, now I have to find a new way to rationalize my hatred of women.
