discriminating against women is nothing, folks. you heard it here, from this guy.

i for one am glad we've solved sexism.
I'll give you a second to count the number of people in this thread outraged about his discrimination against women compared to hair color, suit buttoning, etc.

I don't like the guy either, but the responses in this thread are pathetic at best, salty and petty at worst.

I saw this earlier, good video.

Not sure why you posted it on ResetEra though, people here already have their minds made up that he's a terrible sexist who hates women, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Evidence? Last time I checked he wouldn't stream with any woman. I'm not saying he hates women, just working with them...because he is a terrible sexist. Would be genuinely curious to see what evidence you have though.

User Banned (1 Weeks): Excusing sexism
I like Ninja, but I don't really like Jimmy Fallon that much. I'll go ahead and check out this interview later, though.

Also, Ninja isn't really sexist. His wife's the reason why he won't stream with women. If he weren't married, he'd be streaming with a lot of ladies. It's not sexism, it's what seems to be an insecure marriage. I blame his wife for being afraid of the hypothetical rumors that'll come from Ninja streaming with a girl!

I remember stumbling across Ninja on Twitch back at the MCC launch. His channel wasn't exactly a big deal back then, but the guy was a crazy good and had such a love for Halo. Crazy to see where he is at now.

Phew. Sure am glad we found the woman that's actually responsible for this man's bad decisions.

well, he's actively discriminated against women throughout his career - thereby actively and passively contributing to the garbage that women have to put up with both within the gaming community and outside of it - so, y'know, still not a fan!

but, hey, credit where it's due: he's now a former sexist shitbird, apparently.

That explanation for why people watch others play video games is nonsense. People watch them because they find it entertaining. DSP wouldn't have had a career if his explanation was the case.

And to really drive it home, he hosted her after playing with her and gave her stream the biggest growth it's ever had.

He's totally right. While it's nerdier than lifting weights and getting brain damage, it's still exhibiting a high level of skill in a game people are interested in. Why are people acting so hostile to him in this thread? Seems ridiculously petty.

Seeing this guy everywhere lately is getting annoying, it's like you can't avoid him.

All this talk about his douchey hair and nobody mentions how lame and bland his handle is.

The solution to you being annoyed by Ninja isn't to bring him down, but help someone else rise up. Whatever you want to think about him, he's done more for gaming this year than most people here.

Oh man, why is this guy hated so much here? I don't follow him at all.

Edit: I see some more comments about how he's discriminating against women, how so?

So he is finally reacting to the negative press that he got, good. Hope it actually continues, because ignoring female players is fucking terrible.
Don't listen to this person. Evidence was posted earlier in this thread showing he isn't.
He didn't play with women in the past, he has stated as such. The evidence is recent and it is good that he is righting that wrong.

Some of you are acting like he has committed murder before. He has said some silly things but it's pretty obvious that he's not sexist. Or at least not in a horrible way...just some things he was probably pretty ignorant about which now looks like he is heading in a better direction.

Some of.the stuff you lot call him is strange. There is no middle ground with you guys...someone is either ok or a complete shitbag.

Literally any other industry if you made the comments he made about working with women you would be blasted. The people here talking about his appearance are not being smart. He has far bigger issues.

This clip on why people watch other people play video games is pretty succinct.


Reminds me of Jimmy Kimmel not understanding people watching people play videogames, and why it's so darn popular. His team picked a lot of silly comments of course. The "why watch sports" question was on it but he just brushed it off saying he thought people who watch sports are stupid as well. Why watch people talk on tv when you can talk to people in real life? Why watch tv and be entertained by a lot of things like books at all? What is life?
