Apparently a high profile streamer was recently sexually assaulted on camera at twitch con.

The offender was escorted away by private security hired by the streamer herself, not twitch security. They have yet to find the perp, but twitch supposedly banned him (meaning twitch knows who he is and haven't notified police).
Twitch had dealt with stalkers before, and their response was to ban the private security guards who fought off the creeps. They put out messaging claiming their security is top notch, then blame the victims for not moderating their streams, as if that does anything to stop real creeps at real meetups.
The incompetence and deflection, combined with the business model of twitch streams, leads me to believe twitch knows who their primary audience is: stalkers and molesters willing to fork over 5$ to get the streamer to say their name.
This is absolutely one of those stories where literally everyone involved is at fault and deserves to be scorned/shamed/beaten for it.
The guy is a creep, no further expounding needed. Its been said to death on every other forum all the problems there.
But an ethot literally only succeeds on being a predator, creating these parasocial relationships with broken, lonely men to give them the crumb of attention that keeps them from killing themselves. They can cover it up all they want (apparently this one isn't pure titty streamer but "cosplay" as they keep defending her), but its predatory in all ways and you literally could not succeed if you did not play into that evil. So these creeps are less a "problem" and more FAFO in action.
And Twitch has always been this way, its shocking how shocked people are to find out. Granted, this is the most overtly obvious version I've seen, but its been known forever that most of their higher ups offer protection and benefits to female streamers that sleep with them (and males who parrot their politics). But, much the reverse of the prior point, to succeed you must make yourself their prey because there is literally no real alternative to success. You either play the game or you don't get to make this your "career" and they know it, so they don't have to give a fuck about protecting you.
I guess it boils down to who's to blame for whoring. if a man sleeps with a whore, then gets sad when the whore leaves after she is paid for services rendered, is the man a victim? I'd argue anyone who thinks so has diluted themselves into thinking the whore is anything other than a whore. if the man scorns the whore, and even tries to hurt the whore, it's still the moral thing to protect the whore. the fault lies entirely with the delusional man, as well as the pimps who failed to protect their whores.
we aren't a Muslim society.
Whores provide a service, no matter how degenerate or gross you are getting a product return out of it. Sure its still preying on those same bottom tier men, but they are still getting their service rendered and usually for a pretty low cost relative.
Ethots are literally doing the same thing, but without providing the actual service. They will do everything possible to get out of providing it, in fact getting mad if you even hint at it whatsoever instead of just paying them multiple times the cost out of kindness. So now he doesn't get his nut (and the lowered aggression that brings) and is out ridiculous sums of time and money with nothing to show for it. Its a literal predatory scam like any other scam business, but using pussy as the draw instead of money. And its operating at such a large scale that it will absolutely find many completely unhinged men by default, straight up provoking them into response eventually.
He still should have been detained and possibly arrested, because the law protects anyone (or should), and his lack of impulse control is a danger to anyone. But she deserves nothing beyond that base level protection, because she is a victim of the consequences of her own actions and should be reminded of that fact. You don't get to play into that system and then be mad when the system kicks back. Women have rights, and that means they don't get to shirk responsibility for their protection onto their daddy or pimps when they get involved in nonsense.
objectively incorrect. their service is the stream itself. to think anything else is equivalent to being the delusional man thinking a whore is anything other than a whore.
Almost nobody who is watching a female streamer is doing it for the stream itself, and to say otherwise is playing into their obfuscation game. Perhaps the ones without cams at all can make that claim, but those are fractional amounts.
Whores are whores, and ethots are whores without getting to fuck. Which makes them lower than whores, and strippers even. Their "stream" is just a pretense to get men horny and invested in them, so they will be very loose with their money.
Do you think drag queen story hour is just grown men with a unique hobby trying to volunteer to children?
Huge cope. These whores need to get off the internet.
