Would you be okay if he stopped streaming with black people due to the racism on twitch? Or Jewish people or gay people or any other kind of minority?
Can you understand how situations like this happen daily and the affect it has on the career of women? And how it might be somewhat understandable it keeps a system in place that locks out women?
Forgive me, but your example is not inline with anything stated in my comment. If he stopped streaming with black people because people on twitch are racist, that'd be feeding a problem. Refusing to stream with women as to prevent people from doing things that can legitimately ruin his reputation and possibly affect his marriage in an adverse manner is much different.
A strong woman can build herself up without the need of a man's help. Are you suggesting women are dependent on men for advancement and growth? If so, I have to ask why you're promoting such harmful, patriarchal ideals. One male streamer looking out for his reputation and relationship by not streaming with female streamers will not negatively influence
any female streamers at all. If anything, it merely closes off avenues for his viewer base to grow, which is fine because he made his choice for a good reason.
As for this being a system that locks out women... how? Women can still stream on Twitch. Not being able to co-stream with one person doesn't negatively affect them at all. In fact, let's say half of all male streamers stopped streaming with women. Okay, so the male streamers are now restricted to only streaming with male streamers, drastically limiting their avenues to expand their channel. Female streamers have opportunities with other female streamers and still half of all male streamers. This gives
female streamers the edge as their content will have a wider array of personalities available to them and access to more viewers from collaborative efforts. The male streamers who only stream with other male streamers will end up having mostly the same viewers as one another and fewer opportunities for growth.
The problem is, you're raising non-points that are irrelevant to what I actually said and you're using examples that have "reasons" that are completely incongruous to the real-life example and its reasons. I'm not trying to sound dismissive, but I find it hard to understand why you're so ready to infantilize women without thinking through the issue first. I don't know your reason for doing so, but I do want to. Help me understand you.
