I am 1000% done with sexual harassment on stream. I am sick of hearing that you want to %#£€ $& %# #%%$& I am a 37 year old woman playing the piano. ‘It’s only a handful of people’ yeah but it’s EVERY SINGLE DAY. Men are broken, this platform is broken and I’m out of spoons.
Why does Nick Mercs still have a
@Twitch
account? Why is Twitch allowing transphobia (during pride month)? Why are brands still working with him? How is cultivating an environment of hatred and intolerance within twitch community guidelines?
Don't congratulate women on 'not being a booby streamer'. The position of praise-giver (or moral-compass-judge) has not been bestowed upon you due to maleness. I'd rather swallow razor blades than say thank you to a dude who thinks I'm performing my female role in the right way.
Sometimes when streamer twitter gets wild I remember that many streamers are SO young and that I probably would have said and done similar bs in my 20s :p
Show of hands, who is in the 30+ streamer crowd?
I don’t think sexism in any industry will be overcome until men start thinking of it as a problem they need to actively solve, rather than a women’s’ issue that they can just sympathise with
Sexual harassment cannot and should not be just a woman’s problem to fix. We aren’t listened to. We don’t have the systemic power. This is a male problem too. You need to step up because we’re constantly between a rock (harassment) & a stupid place (men whining when we complain)
My reasons for not divulging relationship details on stream are not sinister. I’m not trying to trick anyone into watching me. It’s just for privacy, also my worth as a creator has nothing to do with my relationship or potential relationship to a man. It’s that simple.
Women: imagine that for 24 hours there were no men in the world.
No men were harmed in the creation of this hypothetical. They will return. They are safe and happy wherever they are during this brief, fictional time period.
What would change for you? What would you do that day?
Twitch is so unpredictable hey, some days you get hundreds of follows, some days you get 3, some days you get sweet raids, other days you get none, it’s such a ‘long game’ thing. Growth is never linear but the one constant is your regulars, ALWAYS treasure your regulars
And unless I see you actively fighting against this stuff, I do mean men. Not ‘some men’. You’re included unless you’re actively and vocally fighting harassment.
A little while ago, a jackass came into my stream and tipped 4 figures for a skilltester song request. And then, you guessed it- charged it back. I did the song, fought the chargeback and WON.
Do you hear that? That’s the glorious sound of an asshole who is now 4 figures poorer.
@JessPected
Must be embarrassing not being able to compete with women in a world that was literally made for men
Extinguish the bloodline, that man has gone far enough 🤣
@Paliza
I raided someone whose community were so rude and said he ‘didn’t need help from a girl. Cool, I guess I’ll take my 1000 viewers to someone a little less insecure in their masculinity.
Disappointing to see viewership lower than usual and a substantial amount of unfollows all because I put on a Pride Stream. Ah well, quality control. To my community, thank you for being there and supporting me <3 <3
I’m assuming that since abortions are now illegal in Texas, vasectomies are going to be compulsory? From what age? Perhaps $10,000 fines for impregnating someone? Jail time, what do you think? Or do we just reserve the ghastly shit for women?
I have the audacity to exist in female form and you best believe I am stealing your viewers. All of the viewers are now mine. It’s done, you’re too late.
Large numbers of 20-39s are acquiring delta. Vaccine rollout does not include us. This is also the age group most likely to have had their casual work cut with no pay. Young people are getting particularly screwed. ‘Just get vaccinated’ is so f$&king annoying to hear.
TWITCH. MUSIC. IT’S A THING.
This was my goal 2 years ago when I started streaming. Today we’ve done it. Thank you to every single person who has been a part of this.
'You look tired' (they always tag you)
Mate, I am a 37 year old woman who gives less of a f&*k about unimportant things as the days go by. I am not going to learn how to apply concealer properly just to make you comfortable. I don't care. I look great.
@Eden_Eats
I can’t share this tweet for fear of being slowly and ineffectively murdered by people with no sense of humour, but let it be known that I love it
@thesarahkelly
I dunno if this counts but having a friend profess his undying love for me in a super long queue at Disneyland then still having 90 minutes to wait after I said I did not feel the same way and him getting mean telling me that I’d never do better than him anyway
@emrazz
Talk without being corrected. Talk without having things explained to me when I hadn’t asked for it. Talk without constantly watching my tone or making what I was saying more palatable.
Men - if you want to talk about/ comment on the blizzard lawsuit, there’s only one thing to remember. Don’t make it about you, about how men are feeling. Phrases to avoid include ‘not all’, ‘tarred by the same brush’, ‘don’t lump us in with’ etc. Do not make men the victims here.
Who are your favourite women on twitter, and why? One of mine is
@emrazz
for her eloquence, clarity, wit and fortitude. Give me some suggestions! Who am I missing out on?
It’s funny when people say that ‘productive jobs’ should pay more cause I swear when I worked in an office I sent like 2 emails all day and when I worked in a pizza store I was run off my feet and literally provided countless people with food to eat
I was so stoked to shoot with the one and only
@Katyuskamoonfox
, a literal icon. We are dropping our mermaid girlfriend set tomorrow and I can’t wait for you to see it.
If you're a fellow musician, resist the urge to go into music streamers' channels and comment stuff like 'this isn't the original/right key' or 'that should have been a D flat chord. I know. Everything is by design. My music theory is watertight. Don't backseat me please.
Just got a msg from a dude who says he doesn’t watch me because he doesn’t like ‘aggressive’ women.
Ladies, they are so frail. It’s working. Keep going.
I’m 40. You don’t need to be 19 to ‘make it’. You don’t even need to look 19 with skin like porcelain. I choose not to retouch my photos, and I’ve learned there’s a place for real. Showing my blemishes and imperfections sets me apart.
My stuff is genuine, and hot AF.

This one is easy. The difference is:
- consent
- doing things on one’s own terms
- getting paid to put out content on one’s own terms
Thanks to Twitch's generosity, I am super excited to announce that I AM GOING TO TWITCH CON! This awesome surprise is part of an international initiative for Twitch to get a bigger global footprint, and as such, this Aussie is gonna see you all in San Diego! Thank you Twitch!
As I add a new type of content to my existing content, I’m getting a ton of hate from men that is never-ending, on every platform I’m on. I do have thick skin. I’ve been training for this my whole life, I’ve known that men hate women since..pretty much childhood. This isn’t new,
Ladies - I don’t care if you have boobs. I don’t care if you show them. I don’t care if you have ‘lewds’ or sexual content on patreon. I support your autonomy and I hope you make dat cash. I support the fact that the control is YOURS.
Hot tub streamers don’t even need to be in an 18+ category. There is no nudity. Writing the name of a sub on your forehead is TAME. It’s a girl in a swimsuit chatting in a pool, you see more in a PG13 movie. It’s the fact that they make money that rustles the jimmies.
I just want to be a massive streamer so I can use my clout to give others a leg up, and drop heaps of money in creative channels that are just starting out. I want to support anyone trying to create a space for themselves on the internet and live life on their own terms.
In the last week, I hit 40 million YouTube channel views. Not bad considering it all started with a truly terrible $50 camera from Kmart and the google search ‘how do I get the video from the camera onto the computer?’
