It's a weird goddamn thing where Twitch can identify a copyrighted track in a stream and mute it, but there's apparently zero way for them to detect a swastika in someone's profile picture.
You know why I love Twitch lurkers?
Because after 40 hours a week in an office and another 20 in front of the camera, sometimes I just wanna sit in the back and vibe too.
I *get* them.
Stuff like this is why it doesn't even matter if the day off puts a dent in Twitch or not; the situation as a whole has generated significant negative press for the platform over the last two weeks and will continue *after* tomorrow
It *is* a success, and it's not done after 9/1
Twitch friends, do not interact with "StellaDoubleDees". They're on the sex offender list for assaulting a minor. They were banned from Twitch in 2022 under the name "ShedaMann" and are attempting a comeback. We're submitting reports but do not associate with them.

@Grubhub
if I'm being real I'd prefer they give that 20% back to their drivers
and maybe also tell twitch to put a fucking captcha on their account creation
"Yeah, but, like, if we did that, then they'll change the colors or switch to the Iron Cross or a more subtle dog whistle, so why even bother?"
~Twitch, probably
do i engage in a "yes, the guy who owns the ip and who routinely donates to republicans will earn a cut from this, stop fkn patronizing this franchise" campaign or do i just throw up my hands and accept that getting gamers to have principles is a waste of effort
So anyway what I'm saying is that if you haven't had a chance to sign the Twitch Uservoice petition for a trans tag on the platform, it'd mean a lot to me.
Something else happened too, I guess it's a big deal.
Again, I'm gonna point out for the west coast who's waking up and having their coffee, TWITCH TRIED TO BURY A STORY ABOUT RAMPANT CHILD DIDDLING ON THEIR PLATFORM BY DROPPING THE 70/30 NEWS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
that is legit actual disgusting shit.
So
@Twitch
are you planning any kind of compensation (a "reparation", if you will) for the black streamers you're leaving high and dry with your "idk just stream anyway" during the siege of your website or are you just gonna add more global BLM emotes and call it a day?
Tonight's show is being postponed. We've made the difficult decision to seek end of life care for Mia, so we're taking the night off for reflection. Give your fuzzy friends a good squeeze for us.

"each air incident investigation makes air travel safer"
i wish i could agree but i'm up to season 12 of air disasters/mayday and the common theme seems to be "capitalism caused cascading calamities"
So, true story: we had a spotter set up watching that comfy channel and any time they keyed onto us, someone would just slap my channel into sub only mode for a few minutes.
I understand there was a defeated moment where they said "sub only, move on."
She's at peace now. We're heartbroken, but we couldn't have asked for a better kitty to spend fourteen years with.
We'll talk about it a little tonight on the show, and then we'll be back to business as usual.

The man openly fluffs the police, idolizes Kyle Rittenmouse, and, again, ex-cop. Is he otherwise acceptable so long as he's not homophobic? I'm not sure what you're expecting out of him.
WERE YOU AWARE?! Why debate whether buying
#HogwartsLegacy
is ethical when the warning signs are there that the game might be mid or bad on it's own merit?
WERE YOU AWARE? You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to watch billionaires perish horribly deep underwater in a submarine at the hands of a PlayStation controller clutched by the CEO of the company! Consider "Critical Depth" today!
"What are their demands?"
I dunno, a cursory glance would be for them to stop being sieged by thousands of bot accounts calling them the N slur or T slur, there might be other demands but that seems to be at the top of the list, Joe.
HELL YEAH I'M OFFICIALLY A TITTY STREAMER
It's fine, honestly we can't stop laughing. Now I can play with the Analogue Pocket that just arrived tonight.
We'll do makeup in Discord around the normal show start time and then we'll go live on Twitch tomorrow night when it expires!
"don't unfollow people playing the game"
Pal, this is Entertainmentโข, where you are entitled to nothing. If someone decides not to watch a person over a difference of opinion, that's literally just how the market works.
I could say "i think re5 sucks" and lose followers.
Fifty bucks says
@Twitch
's first move (when they get around to it in a month) to try and stymie their valued customers/hate raiders is to roll back the identity tags.
I acknowledge that Twitch doesn't have a direct hand in being responsible for swatting (unless PII was part of that leak), but I also wish they'd be frank about that and be honest about their limited capabilities in addressing these kinds of threats.
"It's an unfocussed labor action!"
Yeah, no fucking shit it is, these people didn't think this was what they were going to have to deal with going into August 2021.
Do you want to reach out to them privately and help them or do you just want to dunk on them?
If Twitch's (has to be automated) reporting system is going to clap people for reclaiming slurs and only unban them days later, they need to remove the section of TOS where it's allowed because it clearly isn't, and continuing to advertise that it *is* is putting people at risk.
If I thought this was a stupid movement I'd tell ya, because I was pretty upfront about last year's being a hamfisted, completely unfocussed movement with no clear goal.
This one is clear.
Stop these bot-infused hate raids.
We seem to have this discussion at least once a year, so
Hi.
I had a student loan.
I paid it off.
Forgive others' crippling debt so they can start contributing to themselves and the economy.
"I had to deal with bullshit, so now you have to" is not how we move forward.
I know it's pride and all, but there's huge storms on the horizon for the letter T across this country, and I'm convinced G isn't gonna give a shit until Roe V Wade goes down and SCOTUS starts using the same logic to go after Obergefell v Hodges (gay marriage).
Yesterday and today represented the first time I've ever been outside of a residence in drag. It was amazing, liberating, and some of the most fun I've had in my entire life.
But tomorrow I'm swapping pronoun pins and I'm just going to vibe out of drag!
@djmuel_
whoa i cant believe that professor eleazar fig dies in hogwarts legacy. that's astounding. we should make sure we don't write thing with the game's name in it.
If the Democratic Party in 2022 were a Twitch streamer, they'd be someone who branded themselves as a Stardew Valley streamer but actually spends 99% of their time playing Call of Duty, and would routinely wonder aloud why none of the Stardew Valley fans come around anymore.
@kaceytron
we're running the current version of genderOS, they're running one that hasn't been updated in decades and wondering why they have so many bugs in theirs
"But the wizard game is the
#1
game on Twitch right now!"
pictured: this movie was once the

movie in America for a weekend in 2002. none of you saw it. none. it's almost like "

" is not indicative of staying power.
Parents, please be careful this Halloween. In my kids candy I found Twitch's 70/30 sub split โ your kids won't be able to have them anymore if they get a hundred thousand of them before taxes and fees.
