twitch "thots" phonomenon.

[wubbelflup]

i can't spell. give me autocorrect steam.

anyway.

getting mad at twitch girls for being/acting sexy is like getting mad at beer for being alcoholic.

while you could be blaming the cafe (twitch) or the alcoholic (you, yes, i know)

personally i don't mind those girls but i think they ruin the image of women.
but you can't blame these girls for getting easy cash, especially not more than the guys throwing money at them. right?

idk, just a random thought.

Don't blame the women profiting off their body, blame the ones that give money to them.

Value of a product comes from the consumer, after all.

Why blame them? There's is no blame because they haven't done anything wrong.

When some people make lots of money as a result of streaming, it is a serious business. Lmao, how did Gabe become a billionaire then ? Your argument might have been valid in the 70’s with Pong, but gaming is a big business. I don’t know anything about the Ninja guy on Twitch other than he is incredibly wealthy as a result of streaming.


If someone isn’t an actual gamer and they are using their body for views, that takes away from streamers that are actual gamers and have a passion for the hobby. Some do it as a second job or primary one. I have zero respect for anyone that interferes with that by treating it as a get some fast money cash grab.

People like those bimbos take money away from actual female gamers and that’s awful.

So let these female gamers use the vocal cords they were born with and let them speak for themselves.

The &$$! are you going on about ? Plenty already do that. I’m not white knighting here, I’m giving my opinion on the matter that I don’t see it as being right or good for the hobby.

They aren't taking anything away from anyone. It just shows what certain people are willing to watch & pay for. Those same people wouldn't be spending their cash on someone just playing games - or... maybe they do both =)

All this does is draw more attention to these women on twitch. If anything you should be getting mad at twitch. What a waste of time & energy to be angry over something you don't watch. Would you actually care if twitch suddenly allowed guys to stream topless? lol

Because I know many gamers of all kinds. I’m good friends with one of the first female pro gamers and she’s also the first Black pro gamer. Her and her husband have numerous world records and top scores in various games at arcades and they are recognized by Twin Galaxies. She’s been a gamer her whole life and actually beat Super Mario Brothers 3 a day after getting it back in the day.

I don’t like seeing morons trying to tag along on the bandwagon just to make a quick buck. They didn’t contribute to the hobby and they shouldn’t try to pander for money now.

"Gaming = serious business"

People go to look at them to look at them.... if they are gone they won't go to people playing games.... that's not what they are there for...

Like I said a page ago... this is nothing but viewer envy by 'gamers' who just can't get viewers...

For a handful it might be... but it's the "I only have 5 followers because "thots" are taking my viewers" is the main group that's crying the hardest about this... the same ones that cry about how Fortnite & Overwatch are "garbage games" because they are at the top of the Twitch viewer count right in front of IRL...

It never did nor never will "take away from streamers that are actual gamers" because those people watching aren't here for games no matter how much anyone wishes they were...

This is only people who THINK they are Twitch gods and should get more viewers but can't understand that they just are NOT entertaining with their choice of games or their poor Twitch presence... "Ninja want to be"

And since IRL girls are a non gaming part of Twitch it's an easy target to go after... nothing more no matter how hard people want it to be gone... as long as Twitch allows it, it's going to stay..

So time to get good and prove you deserve viewers rather then wish people with no intent to watch them suddenly have "no other choice" because gamer gurls are gone off IRL.

I could ask you the same thing. So far you haven't made any sense.

So apparently only women can be streamers now ? What about men ?

So I'm curious about these twitch "thots".

Are any of them talented as a gamers/personalities, and produce good gaming content, or are they just purely bimbos who have unidimensional appeal?

Deadsea could blame them for perpetuating that business.

That's a poor counter argument you know. I'm of the opinion that you don't know what you're talking about and you're struggling to come up with a answer to what I told you before. Stop being a white knight - we already have two here in the forums already.

None that I've ever seen... but that's why they are in IRL and not a gaming directory...

This is apples and oranges... but some want to believe that they take views away from gamers

Popular mainly for their looks & their behaviour. They play games to relate in some way to their audience. The audience isn't there for just gaming content.

If a local shop or store suddenly had topless staff, guess where I'm gonna be shopping =)

If you haven’t contributed to the hobby, you shouldn’t try to profit off it. If that’s all you have to say, why comment ? Personal issue ? Yeah I’ve got a personal issue when someone claims to be something they aren’t.

Pointless how? I responded directly to your dumb points.
