The only Twitch streamers I care about are Max_Dood, Seraphim17, and GodFatherDictator. Everyone else is either uninteresting or can fuck off. DSP gets about a 1000 viewers, but it is nowhere near the amount he made back between 2012-2015. It's just that gullible losers or people who think and act like Phil keep supporting him have nothing better to do in their lives.

This is not the first she come under fire and was even banned earlier this year.
Wasn't that for displaying someone else's profile and *that* person was streaming porn or something? Not the times she actually did something herself.

On the "protecting big streamers" train, supposedly Twitch has also been doling out suspensions or bans for speaking ill of Alinity as a result the whole situation, including on other sites.
Is it speaking ill or being an a-hole? Like definitly going over a line. Yep

I also didn't think Alinity was that big. At least she wasn't earlier this year.
Like making jokes. An example would be if you posted a cat pic and I go ?keep it away from Alinity, she?ll throw it?. If I were a twitch streamer I can expect to get banned.

DSP is hilarious to watch. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with modern gamers and game design. Most of the time, he expects the game to tell him everything and hold his hand every time. 99% of the time, it really is his fault for not paying attention.

Wasn't there one streamer who showed the clip of her yeeting the cat, who got nailed for showing depictions of animal cruelty? Or was that Twitter?

I know there was that one streamer Gundam covered, who happened to be a smaller streamer and a black woman, who more or less gently tossed her cat onto her bed and was banned for animal cruelty. As opposed to overhead launching her cat like Alinity did.

I don't think this is worth a new topic so i'll post it here.

Yesterday the Thot-Queen herself, clearly not wanting to let Alinty take all her attention, casually drops the N-word in reference to a minority grocery store.

She has not been banned or even suspended.

I take one look and yeah, she's very attractive. I don't know the story but simple logic dictates it's simply a matter of supply and demand. Twitch is flooded with gamer blokes so obviously they are hold to a different standard as there is an infinite supply of them. Young, attractive females are ofcourse much more of a rarity on such a platform, so for Twitch they offer a potential the infinite supply of gamer blokes don't'; namely the potential of expanding market(more women that flock to the site) and ofcourse as lucrative eye candy which is something in particular sponsors want to associate with.

In short, a gamer bloke simply doesn't have similar value.

I don't find him hilarious to watch because I find him so despicable. The ************ married and later divorced an 18-year old (while Phil was already in his early 30s at that time) and was emotionally abusive to her. Once you've crossed that line, there is nothing entertaining about a person to me, and I rather not give him any attention or time of the day. I can't believe I subscribed to him on YT at one point, but luckily I saw that something was off and immediately unsubscribed after 3 months back in 2012.

Thanks for the news, as she is now on my shit list. Should she ever have her ass kicked I will laugh and have no sympathy for her.

As much as Twitch's moderation (and the TOS) seems to be crap from time to time, the reaction Alinity got was way out of proportion.

A large part of the Twitch community, especially the ones also engaging in Reddit, are flippant morons easily susceptible to mob mentality. Normally anyone who criticizes female streamers gets called an incel, but now if you didn't hate Alinity for all that "animal abuse" you were part of her personal White Knight army.

He posted it on twitter and got banned on twitch. And to add to the shit heap she was caught using the n word yesterday and today twitch used Ninja?s account to promote other accounts one of them being two hours of porn

What's the problem with cat tossing? Cats always land on their feet ;)

In Alinty's bid to not let Amoranth have more attention than her, she ALSO casually drops the N-Bomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGU_xU0Dc9Q&t=266s

Not two days after the fact. Again no ban, no suspension, nothing. Remember PewDiePie got a ban for letting the N-word slip.

With a little bit of benefit of the doubt, she isn't calling anybody a ****** rather saying "nick your next prime's in the channel", even if it sounds like 'nigg-yer'.

Y'know, this is how a part of the "Twitch community" works: every streamer with more than 400-500 viewers gets haters, and those haters will keenly watch these streams for anything that might be against the Twitch TOS and report it immediately. Now if you have enough viewers it starts working retroactively -- once your haters realize a new way to "break the TOS" they will go through your VODs to find any instance of that. "Sounds like the n-word" is a total joke at this point. Just try cooking something with vinegar in it. Oh whoops! Slipped up again, lol.

Though I gotta say this phenomenon must sort of protect bigger streamers, as the staff won't take most of the reports from them seriously.

But isn't there an issue with PewDiePie that he has a bit of a history of racist and anti-Semitic imagery and language, or am I thinking of Hitler?

I find the whole YouTube, Twitch, etc. star thing really odd TBH (I may just be old), and I haven't heard of most of these people, so it's easy to get them mixed up.

Really? You gonna try to play that off. Watch the video she definitely says "Ni**er Nick" Then she grins like a guilty kid at the camera. She knows what she said.

One doesn't let N-words slip; one chooses to use N-words.
Thus the problem with Amoranth and Alinity just dropping them without any sort of repercussions.

Damn straight. I was always neutral towards PewDiePie, until that moment. I remember some people trying to excuse it as stress, but that is bullshit. He knew what he said, yet thought he could just get away with it because he's top dog. Or was.

This is every conversation about this topic. This guy said "kill these idiots", but Twitch heard it as "kill these niggas". Another guy says "fucking yikers". Trust me when I say I know how this goes. In accordance with the script you should next call me a Tier-3 subscriber for Alinity. ;-)

Why not both? PewDiePie damn well knows he streams for a global audience and thus should watch his language, but the thing is, it was still fine to call black people "negroes" (the Swedish word for it) when Mr. Kjellberg was a kid just like it was in Finland when I was a kid. It only became universally a slur later on with the Internet and immigration. On a funnier note because word privileges don't exist here we can actually sing along to hip hop. inb4 defending racism

Yes. Because people have 100% control of every emotional outburst they will ever have.

...I feel like saying it was a Freudian slip maybe isn't best thing to do while trying to defend someone who said the n-word.
