Yeah this is causing a firestorm in the vtubing and streaming circles, for context of WHY they targeted her so much:
She was playing the game
Because of the harassers hate spamming, she put her chat under Twitch automoderation level 2. This doesn't ban comments but holds them for review by moderators if they are just spamming a single word, trans is one of those words. So twitter leftists being the assholes that they are, said she personally banned trans from her chat.
And so far this is backfiring MASSIVELY in their faces, out of any of the streamers, targeting the 'wholesome one' (despite the avatar) that streams with her mom and brother is a bad look. My main hope though is less from this streamer and more from Hololive as they targeted one of theirs for planning on streaming this game and they're getting more used to getting lawyers involved...
I don’t really get watching streamers but I understand comment sections. And no one has ever appreciated anyone going on about trans anything in unrelated comment sections
Was checking out SW:TOR the other day as Sith (of course) and somebody said "trans women are still men". I appreciated it.
Game is old and clunky and a waste of time, but it was kind of interesting to be able to make straight up evil choices. Reminded me of say Baldur's where you're not forced to make moral choices.
In chat. I assume they got muted for a while since in a game where you can cold blooded murder innocent quest NPCs that cooperated fully with you saying "tranny" would be the real thought crime.
I'll be honest, I usually only catch clips of some of the antics of some streamers or edited highlights. I have too much going on that I'm more a listener of podcasts that I can do in the background than any live broadcast.
But yeah them spamming trans in unrelated gaming streams and harassing everyone playing it is pissing everyone off. Especially when their 'allies' are all playing the game on steam...

Wait, in the game you can call trannies men? Why didn't I play this game before and why do I only hear about this now?!
