Maybe if I had boobs I could become a professional Twitch gamer

Don't really know what to make of the article, or the issue of boobie streamers in general. Most of them do eventually get banned because they all end up pushing the revealing clothing too far. I found it amusing that she used the whole "sex sells" as a defense for these women when most feminists absolutely hate the fact that that's true. Plus of course she couldn't set aside her inner SJW and had to bring up cops shooting unarmed black people in an analogy that had no place in a gaming related article.

The article didn't even touch what IMO is the biggest argument againsts "boobie streamers" and that is integrity and fairness. Gaming is still becoming established, and I and many others of the gaming community wish that it would become a respected sport like chess, and even become popular enough to be shown on tv. But if you lookup a popular "gaming athlete" and assume this is one of the best, and you happen to choose legendary lea, you'd right it off as a gimmick for the viewing pleasure of pervs. Streamers like her do incredible damage to the integrity of gaming and its advancement.

Secondly is fairness. Imagine you're a pro golfer, you go to the course every day for practice, you send dozens of hours perfecting every swing with every club, and do this for months or years on end. You go to a tournament and face off against a girl who barely knows which end of the club to hold, and apparently also doesn't know how to put on a shirt. You play golf, ending 10 under while she's 60 over. Now it's time to hand out the score cards to the audience to rate who was sexier. You lose the match. All those thousands of hours of practice outranked by someone who felt like showing some skin that day. That is exactly the situation in gaming.

I don't understand the problem. They are clearly fulfilling a market want. Guys like looking at attractive women and are presumably willing to pay for it.

From my standpoint, everyone involved wins.

As a nerd, there is nothing worse then a girl getting more credit as a gamer based on her looks over her skills. Shameful exploitation to get fake internet points and feed their inflated little minds.

I don't see this as a Men's Rights issue and I couldn't care aless if they're milking their sex appeal for profit while playong video games.

They us not adapt the neo victorian attidudes of the feminists.

my thing is they fucking suck at the games.lol. if they didnt it would be less offensive but the fact that they are absolute trash with no personality boils my blood tbh

I don't exactly understand the issue that this author is trying to address.

The women on these twitch channels are doing this, not because they feel forced or compelled, because they want to. They know what they have and they use it.

So what's really the issue here? Are we trying to defy the laws of attraction? Do we want women to stop showing off their bodies (no one wants that)? Do we want men to stop finding women attractive? "This needs to stop" Why? I think the market will sort itself out. People that want to actually watch good gamers streaming high level gaming will go to those channels. People who want to watch a girl with big boobs play a game and having fun will find those channels as well.

It seems futile for nerds to complain about women playing out a nerd fantasy - an attractive girl you surprisingly find in your normally solitary or male-only space, a girl who overlooks your conventional unattractiveness, who's fascinated by your gigantic brain, and who you can imagine building a relationship with on the basis of shared interests in abstruse hobbies.
