negaoryx (Twitch streamer) absolutely destroys troll live on stream (seriously this is absolutely amazing)
- Thread starter chubigans

Women have the right to call out dipshits even full-well knowing they won't change ever. If it made her feel better in that moment, let her have that.
The goal is that it gets clipped and shared like it has, possibly reaching people who aren't too far gone to hear its message and to give catharsis to people who know how she is feeling and can't find the words to be as articulate, who have felt isolated and find heart in somone putting into words how they feel. People relate to the feeling of standing up for yourself even if this particular troll learns nothing
I agree. I'm mostly just reacting to all the "call the coroner" type replies, and for my part when I'm watching a streamer I prefer that they don't elevate trolls by reacting to them. Usually it's an unwelcome diversion from what I came to that stream to watch. But yea, sure, it's a good thing for getting exposure and setting a tone for her community.
And she got to vent and got a 200k favorited clip on twitter out of it, so I don't know that the troll's feelings on this matter
But you don't need to.
You don't need to be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. And "I'd rather she not speak her mind and respond to the troll" is not a good take.
Ok, but I'm not sure where your preference in streamers is relevant otherwise it comes across as selfish and policing. She's already done the thing you dislike, so no going back. She's free to call out trolls and speak truth to power to make her community feel safe, and you're free to ignore streamers like her. I don't think we can scientifically say which method is better to combat trolls. Both methods can be relevant.
I think the point of the destruction isn't even necessarily the troll. Its the people who thought the troll was amusing. Now they can reconsider their position as someone has excellently pointed out what a shitty thing to say it is in a brutal, cutting and intelligent way. They are now more likely to shut down any misogynistic bullshit as soon as they see it and so the influence of what she said grows.
Nope because
If we didn't tell you what you are doing is dumb, you wouldn't understand how ridiculous what you are saying is or problematic it is. That's the whole point people are making with this woman's post. That sharing her thought on it highlights how dumb and problematic this person is being is important and ignoring it, downplaying it or being needlessly contrarian is not helpful.
If your first thought when someone delivers a well made observation on sexism on a live stream is to say it is rehearsed, that is problematic. It doesn't matter how much you hide behind "it was just an observation bro", it is still problematic.
And dont sit here and back pedal either. If you dont think it isn't bad that it is rehearsed why are you even mentioning it? When someone makes a well articulated comment like this and you say it is rehearsed, what you are telling the world (whether you mean to or not) is that you don't think it is genuine
Exactly. And when it reaches a wider community (as it clearly has done here), all the better.
Sure, a troll got what he wanted and probably got a quick, cheap chuckle out of it and then looked around on the floor for a discarded cum sock to reuse.
The other 10,000 people watching the stream (or whatever, I'm pulling a number out of my ass) were reassured that misogyny should be completely unacceptable in society, called out, ridiculed, and not allowed to propagate. Ignoring it for thousands of years is how we got to where we are today. It's time to change. "Race science" (like trying to prove through science that white people are genetically superior to others) used to be widely accepted fact and taught in schools. Now it's an extremely fringe psuedoscience that will get you fired if your employer ever found out you supported it. Making sexists and racists feel unwelcome works.
A bit disappointed to see a couple blatantly sexist comments getting ignored by mods in this thread, especially after one was edited after being called out for it.
There's gonna a lot of slow singing and flower bringing lmao
negaoryx responds to those saying the troll “won”
For real.
That 'just ignore trolls/bullies' shit is pathetic boomer logic that stifles accountability and is bully fertilizer.
Make bullies afraid, marginalize them use them as examples for people playing at home so any other would-be dick-dug keeps his mouth shut.
LoL!! That was like when the dude reached down Annihillus's throat and just yanked his guts out through his mouth!
She fuckin emptied that dude out, godamn. All calm the whole time too. Pleasure to watch

This is a pretty common thought that I see pop up from sexist assholes whenever a video like this gets shared.
I cried my damn eyes out at the Uncharted 4 epilogue.
The amount of people in here whose only take is criticizing her actions and trying to dictate what she "should have done" is mind-boggling. Y'all, that's part of the problem.
