Twitch might have the single-greatest contribution to the fall of gaming culture. The normalization of camsluts in gaming and their parasocial invalid simps has changed how studios develop and market their games.
You don't have to aim as big as Twitch when we know one of the patient zeros for camsluttery.
Kaceytron was very famous for pioneering most of the techniques all twitch sluts use to this day. Absurdly revealing clothing, her face cam being the main one with the game cam being a small corner, and all sorts of "teehee I didn't realize I was gonna say something dirty" antics. She might not be the absolute first, but I remember her being one of the earliest big ones.
Women are to blame for this, not a bunch of simps from Justin.tv.
The ‘justification’ is that Vtubers can’t have anything happen that the artist/riggers don’t want, so they go harsh on them, but I think it’s because the mods are mad that they can’t get favors from the vtubers.
It wouldn’t surprise me if a Twitch mod was the one who was spiking drinks at that Twitchcon party a few weeks ago

Hilarious, right? What a retarded argument from Twitch. Because you could apply it the other way; a skimpy vtuber will never have a nip slip or whatever.
I hate to say it, but I think it was the tech nerds who did it. Also ruined Linux. Victims of our own success.
We thought this stuff was cool and wanted everyone else to agree with us, but 20 years ago you had to (eg.) modify driver .ini files to get games to work properly. So we spent billions of dollars and man-centuries of time to make it work well. But that all came at a cost which we are now paying.
See also: Eternal September. This is the story of the golem but for tech nerds. It is our failure mode: each generation of tech nerd cannot help but fall into the same pattern as his predecessors.
In retrospect "the Internet but for 130+ IQ Anglo academics" was the ideal. We just didn't realize it. Should have made the connection when the first sign of trouble was caused by the Internet opening up to 120+ Anglo undergraduate students.
Nah. Neither the woke shit nor publishers and studios developing hot trash can be traced back to Twitch. Even gaming culture changing from "ewwww he plays video games?" to "uwu I play videogames" isn't Twitchs fault. It sure contributed to the problem and even accelerated it but it didn't cause it. You could argue the success of WoW was what opened the flood gates.
I don't blame camsluts as much as I do the simps and shills of video games. Camsluts are just grifters, but simps and shills enable and defend the entire practice. They will go to all kinds of extremes because they have an actual belief in what they defend. They are the reason why women have taken over gaming publications and development, they are the reason why we have DEI hiring practices, and they are one the reasons why the internet isn't what it used to be.
Yes, camsluts are scum, but simps and shills is what makes the scum. They are individuals that have no life, no dignity, and will die alone. Their existence is meaningless.
You've gotta stop falling for your evolutionary make trait of giving lesser culpability to females.
They are JUST as culpable for being enablers. They're literally two different sides enabling each other ffs. This is like saying you don't blame cartels for doing all the evil shit they do because some people wanna get high.
Being a disgusting price of subhuman shit is entirely your own fault. Good people don't take advantage of others simply because they can.
STOP pretending like women are some form of agency-less androids that simply react to stimuli in their environment.
Of course they have agency, but we recognize that "pay some random camwhore $5k and she'll say your name" and "bat your eyelashes at the camera and, if you're popular, you can make $100k/mo," are drastically different levels of incentive and cost. Yes the camwhores have agency and carry partial blame, but we can at least understand the temptation because of the objective profit whereas the simps are just plain retarded.

I'm more worried about how they go after TAME VTubers for displaying themselves merely a fraction as uncouth as said camsluts.

lmao. yeah you anglos will save us. as you did in ww1 and 2.
look on the brightside: at least nerd chic fell out of favor.
...If I had to see one more abercrombie and fitch model in a green lantern t-shirt say absolutely nothing of value about vidya...
