I ain't got a horse in this race but saying "who just passed away" is some manipulative language.

Twitch beef isn't weird when you remember that most of these people are kids who never matured thanks to the insane amount of money they have and know a juicy opportunity when they see one.

Drama = Clicks = More Money.

And with it being Ninja and Pokimane? You're about to see a lot of coattail riders who are not even connected to the story try to insert their way in.

So much stupidity involved in this. Even in Ninja's DM's I don't think he meant "big mistake" in a threatening way.

Good, let them continue to fight each other. Eventually this is all going to blow up for all of them in a negative way.

My thing is its weird where Jidion, already popular, decided to hate raid and is surprised he got permabanned.

My thing is like yes, Twitch is terrible with moderation where you can play fast and loose with the rules.

But not if you've got the Eye of Sauron on you by the sake of your popularity, attacking someone else with the same eye keeping watch. Honestly you're an easy ban off GP just to make it look like they care about the other 3,281 fucked up things happening on their platform in that moment.

Why does anyone like this Ninja guy? I feel like the only times I ever hear about him, he's doing something shitty or stupid.

Ok i mean what OP posted pretty much explains it all already. And it's just about people being called out for doing hate raids and helping people that were banned for hate raiding.which they fucking absolutely should be called out.

I'm sure fans of these streamers will react to this in a calm, nuanced, and thoughtful manner.

I'm absolutely sure about that

In hindsight, Ninja not wanting to collab with women was probably a good thing.

Must be wild to have so much money you revert back to petty HS drama because there is no other concern in your life outside of reputation.

Influencer/streamer feuds and the people that care about it are fucking weird. I'll never understand it.

ironically I imagine this helps both of them get views/clicks/engagements, and thus money, out of this ordeal

I feel like people disregarding that this is about people on twitch getting hate raided at the heart and others with influence using that influence to let those people get away with it and then just saying it's high school shit is kinda downplaying that it honestly is important.

Couldn't Pokimane just get in touch with her contacts at Twitch to verify if Ninja is telling the truth or not in not talking to anyone at Twitch?

I really hope "You are making a big mistake" becomes a meme

And based off of Jideon's youtube channel im not surprised he's a genuine cornball

Creator JiDion has been was banned from Twitch since January. Here's why he was banned, and why he thinks it was due to his gender and skin color.
We are living in dystopia where these morons have actual influence and kids look up to them... Sad shit

The biggest streamers on Twitch are the worst.

Smaller streamers are much cooler in my experience.

The clout really gets these people heads. Pokimane herself recently pulled another dumb stunt by playing knowingly copyrighted material—obviously for the PR.

They all suck really.

And no, she shouldn't be part of a harassment campaign. That's common sense. But these big streamers have no professionalism.

It's strange to see so many in here handwaving this. Calling her a b-word and telling her she's making a mistake, not to mention the hate raid in the first place, is the exact same shit we're rallying together against with all of these huge gaming companies getting called out for how they treat their employees.

Just because Twitch is youth culture doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

This sexism and harassment is still unacceptable, and if we want our favorite hobby to be better about it, we have to properly address it wherever it pops up.

Edit: thank you Slayven
