I usually give Twitch a lot of space and quarter. So much so that a lot of people don't mess with me because 'I'm too nice.' I try to give credit where it's due.

I ain't giving quarter for this shit.
A white woman got on cam today and tried to argue 'the appropriate use of the N word' and 1) gave no instances of what that is and 2) doesn't see the irony in her passively admitting she knows the word is egregious given by the fact that *she won't even say it.*
It was then followed with clear, concise, and direct action saying 'here are words we are banning when used as an insult.'
Which demonstrates she knows how to be clear about what is and isn't allowed...but is leaving racial slurs and derogatory terms against queer and/or disabled people as a gray area. They got us out here combing through terms and conditions to see if we're protected when she --->
<--- VERY CLEARLY protected a group of people who use their self-proclaimed titles as rationalization to go forth and harass non-men relentlessly.

The people who made that BunnyHop site are very likely incels. Remember that JUST got revealed this week.
nah.
I'm not combing through *fucking anything*.

Y'all can get right back on camera and condemn the use of hate speech, racial slurs, and antagonistic language against minorities the same way you did today for that one dude who thinks he deserves access to my body.
I literally can't even focus on the rest of this Town Hall because I know that shit is coming. That's its on it's way. That's its in the pipeline. I want to sit down and watch it critically.

But I can't.
Because this shit has me seeing red.
People who come in to my chat and say shit like 'wanna fuck', 'can I stick my peepee in your dirty brown hole 🙈', 'I'll pay you $300 to stay live and show that neck butt' just got more protections than I can start to dream of.

I'm pissed.
I'm allowed to be pissed.
And I'm sick of people dangling 'angry' and 'risky' over my head because I made the mistake of caring too much about this damn platform.

Do better.
This is a MESS.
