God man If I streamed all the weird impulses and things I say without thinking about it everybody would hate me forever. And saying sorry doesn't work on the internet either.
You're point here is utterly stupid. Nobody is calling for her to be removed from Twitch completely. We are just saying that there should be a consequence for her shitty behavior. A 2-day ban, 7 day, 30 day, etc for stacking violations of ToS. The only reason these girls act like pieces of shit is because they get away with whatever they want. They wouldn't do this shit if they lost a week of stream-time, if they had to pay the price for being a terrible shit head.

Also if their streamer career was taken away, they could always go strip. They are basically 90% of the way there on their stream anyway.

Nobody changed their mind about them. Haters will hate and fans will still like them. Others will join in the memes but that's it. And no, I don't watch e-girl streamers, but even they deserve defending from outrage that's blown out of proportions.

And... I guess I have to admit I do enjoy the drama. So maybe I'm being played here.

That's how you get on the hook :)

Frankly, I used to have this opinion too. That is, until that whole ZombiUnicorn incident at E3 prompted me to finally give the "thot patrol" time of day enough to see what their grievances were. Since, I've 180'ed on the issue, because at the end of the day it is a handful of highly toxic streamers with proven track records of abhorrent conduct, who abuse gender and gender politics to distract from and excuse their behavior. As pertains to that group of individuals, no, the pushback and outrage isn't blown out of proportion, and neither is it necessarily borne from misogyny because they happen to be women.

Even then I don't believe outrage should be directed towards those women. They're making the most of a broken and corrupt platform that incentivizes toxic behavior. At the end of the day, fault lies with Twitch for cultivating an environment in which toxic personalities thrive while good-faith actors who know how to behave are more likely to fail than succeed.
