from the we-need-more-hermaphrodites dept.

Twitch boss Matthew DiPietro is clear that the industry needs to do more about online sexism in gaming.

The senior executive was speaking to us from the streaming site's headquarters in San Francisco.

Gamers have told Newsbeat about their experiences and Twitch says it's doing all it can to stamp out sexism on the platform.

But Matthew tells us this isn't a problem that Twitch can solve on its own.

He says the industry needs to invest money to "move forward on this issue".

He's calling for "investment in terms of people, education and money.

    Get side-tracked with SJW bullshit.

    Who is the target demographic of twitch again? Yeah good luck trying to go after people who are not part of your demographic. This initiative looks only good on some MBA's spreadsheet, and is just as rooted in reality.

    That's what I was thinking. I have no idea what 'twitch' is or why I would care, but the write-up sounds like a load of Bell Hooks inspired buzzwords and no good has ever come of that.

    I used to think that women were more or less equal to men, but it's pretty clear I was wrong. Women aren't equal, they aren't good enough to get anything without bullying for it.

    Thanks SJWs for ckearing that up.

      The problem with women, like Negroes, is that popular culture (Jews) encourages them to be bad stereotypes.

      I posted in a previous discussion that one of the reasons why San Diego is awesome is because there's no pressure for women to behave like social justice champions -- a previous employer in fact had an overwhelming majority of female bosses in the software department, and they thrived because they were good at what they did -- their jobs -- rather than wasting time and effort ranting about lopsided statistics and whatnot.

      Good women, and good Negroes, see bullshit for what it is and ignore it. They know better than to open a wound and pick at it, because they have skills, and advance because they do a good job.

      Unfortunately, a few San Francisco loudmouths have long been a bad influence to women, Negros, Chinks, Spics, and those flat-faced Korean wallbiters. Seriously, Korean faces are so flat that if they walk into a wall there's nothing stopping them from biting it.

        funny though, that it is among the bad white man that the women became free, or they "fought" for it, as they themselves see it...
        it is probably that the intellectual evolution of the white man made him loose interest in slaves, and thus free and educate the woman.

        and it is here they spill the most bile...

        and, they love the emotional but otherwise retarded latinos, negroes and arabs, who are a lot closer to the original slaveholders, that the white man...

        it feels, the even with the best intentions, white man are trollmodded for ever...

      It's the sad truth. If they wanted to make an investment or whatever, they could throw some money my way and invite me into the “counts as a womyn-born-womyn” club right beside that Brianna Wu bitch. 'Course statistically speaking, it's a drop in the bucket. I'm right here! I'm one surgery away from what the SJWs were looking for! But that's not good enough.

      But nope, off to my same old shit job tomorrow dressing up as a boy because I need some kind of income. It's the principle of it that digs at me. Feminists want to castrate guys right up until it turns out that the guy would rather be a girl. Then it's GTFO you bathroom rapist! And double fuck you if you don't find those airheaded bimbos attractive. And whatever. The alt-right and MRAs agree with them so fuck it all.

      It's impossible. They want something impossible to precipitate out of the æther. What else is left but to meet it with cold, indifferent bitterness?

      Conclusion confirmed: womyn-born-womyn are inferior beings. They're baby machines, and they themselves don't care to be anything else.

      Going one's own way….

        You're assuming the point of this is actually to increase tolerance. It's not. No one makes money by increasing tolerance. They only increase their funding if they can argue 'not enough is being done.' Doing enough would kill the goose, that would be very silly, don't you see my dear boy/girl?

        This isn't about helping the downtrodden. It's about terrorizing us. It's about making sure that we know better than to challenge the status quo - that will cost us our jobs, our livelihoods, our ability to feed our families.

        Thanks for not confusing alt-right with MRA. Now I will tell you that there are two genders: those who can give birth and those who can't. Can you give birth? Then stay in the harem and king will protect and provide for you. And if not, then you get to shove bricks, dig holes, cut lumber or get into the army. And transgenders are not supposed to be physically stronger than men so they get the shortest end of the stick. That's it! Every difference between those can't give birth is BS to ensure they keep fighting among themselves - from religion to hair style. And gender is somewhere there too.

        For all the things you say against feminists, the "rainbow" of genders is purely their creation. That's why The King loves feminism in the first place! It is about bringing equality between all women and the king.

        You can blame MRA for not talking about transgenders, but MRA is the source of first deconstruction of gender politics and it is very nascent and consists of a large number of people who don't actually think but are just angry because they have realized that all this time when they were fighting for the king, the king was having fun in the harem.

          I think you mean "sex".
          The definitions of "sex" and "gender" do differ. A person's "sex" generally refers to their biological make-up. A person's "gender" generally refers to their psychological make-up. Check a dictionary if you don't believe me.

          Particularly note that the term for identifying whether an animal is a boy-animal or a girl-animal, is called "sexing", not "gendering".

            I know what's in the dictionary and I know who is writing it [mashable.com]. Do we talk about gender discrimination or sex discrimination? I meant exactly what I said, which is gender discrimination.

    These whiners don't have any power; just ignore them. Except when they persuade businesses to censor certain content or self-censor to make themselves feel better. But ignore that too since it's not illegal for the businesses to do that, so you have no grounds to complain. No problems here as long as you ignore all the problems that actually exist.
