Really?
In that case:
Although I hope something positive comes out of this. Women can't do anything these days without being called "Thot" or "attention whore" and getting harassed. It is so God damn disgusting how frequent it happens to women.

Any view that is shaming or punishing women for HAVING BODIES is sickening to me. Gtfo of here with that boys club mentality. Women are allowed to feel sexy and empowered online, and dress they way they want. If you can wear it in public to a restaurant you can wear it on twitch and wear it proud. That title is clickbaity for sure but let's stamp out that sexist mentality right now.
I also feel this needs clarification. How is acknowledging that some streamers use sex appeal to attract an audience shaming them?
Edit: To be clear I understand that Pewdiepie was absolutely shaming this streamer by calling her a thot. But pointing out that some streamers dress provacatively to attract attention doesn't seem controversial to me. That doesn't mean it's right to call them names or aggressively come on to them or whatever, but just pointing out why they're conducting their stream a certain way doesn't seem like shaming to me at all.

Of course not, people on this board rarely even read OPs, so watch additional videos is a bit much
Pewdiepie really turned out weird. I used to watch him in 2013/2014, I got some entertainement out of him, and he was really positive.
Now he just posts outdated 4chan memes, shields himself behind 5 layers of irony, and just shit on everything and everyone. And his fanbase just follows blindly. Read the comments under an Alinity tweet lately, endless memes about here copyright claim, people calling her a thot and telling they reported her for immigration fraud. It's insane how toxic they are. It's true that Pewdiepie somewhat apologised for using the word "thot", but it doesn't matter when his fansbase is arleady set loose. The damage is done.
Can't believe what happened to Pewdiepie. From quirky positive let's player to glorified 4chan shitposter with a 60 million "army".

That's kind of how discussion goes, doesn't it? Are threads not supposed to be posted unless they party line has been set or what?
Honest question: when does positive PewDiePie line up with rape jokes PewDiePie on the timeline? I remember thinking that he had changed his ways and was a good example for a long while, but I've never really followed Internet celebrities.
I mean
that seems appropriate when he does shitty things
It kind of seems like the definition of asking for it
I'm not sure how one makes an argument that the streamer is sexually exploiting anyone. I mean, isn't exploitation when the victim is forced to be skimpy or such?
At any rate, calling her a thot was uncalled for. That's slut shaming, and it's no ones business but hers in how she represents herself.

That's exploitation of the streamer/victim, not exploitation of the platform.
Dude it's the same on ERA as it was on GAF with these subjects, if you disagree with the OP and which ever mod agrees with the OP then your pretty much walking down the green mile - it's sad but pretty much the way it has always gone.
I think part of the general anger against "titty streamers" is that it's technically against Twitch's ToS but they don't enforce it.
Though I imagine a much larger part is just pure sexism. Especially with PewDiePie.
Rape jokes Pewdiepie was really early on. He got a lot of shit for it, and he eventually stopped. For a while he was fine, sharing positive messages and entertaining kids. Nothing groundbreaking, but he was fine.
User banned (3 days): Ignoring / misrepresenting mod post
Why are mods banning people for that specific opinion?
I don't know how they got any of that from the video tbh. Both Pewdiepie and Alinity sound like arseholes to me
This wasn't the reason PDP called her a thot. This is just what his fans dig up afterwards to justify their abuse. It's just whataboutism.
yeah guess
you guess you right. oh well, im sure some other thread will come in approx 4hrs that will have people talking about it instead.
