Are female twitch casters exploiting men

[Copenhagen23]

If I had boobs I would do it too. Sounds like a good gig. I'd enjoy it while I could!.

[Perkunas]

If other men are stupid enough to give money to these women so be it. I honestly find watching streams of LoL to be about as exciting as watching paint dry and not even cleavage can make it entertaining.

[Nycotis]

it also keeps them away from other boards posting there "Hey GUYS! Femanon here!" like its fucking relevant. its only a cry for help because you dont know how to function without having the automatic help from desperate males who do everything for them. So instead they dont have to state it this way, you can see that they are female. This is the opposite of what /b/ meant by there are no girls on the internet

[Sandrox]

If people are stupid enough to donate money to a streamer, they deserve to be taken advantage of.

[Iseeyou]

Of course they are.

You will see more and more of them.

There seems to be a small cult-like following of pathetic neckbeards, they love to give away money because theyre so worthless that they think a chick over the net will love them back for it. I noticed the increase of female streamers on twitch long ago as it started. i called what would happen and it finally has, so i dont go on twitch anymore. all the good/entertaining streamers have left because all their donations are being leeched by camwhores. it just shows how pathetic some men are. I say let them have this one though, id rather camwhores than the nazi feminist counterpart that females come in. and if a bunch of neckbeards can keep them from going crazy, who cares. let sluts be sluts.

welp you just fucked up i can easly found 100+ streamers who are men with shit tons of donations. they's are people who have streamed for awhile who gained popularity... which if you visit twitch you would know


and sorry OP but amount of female twitch streamers is like what? maxium 200? vs the what thousands of male ones? i stream myself as a woman...i dont take donations. infact i rarely stream at all anymore due to fact all the big name streamers take up most views. allmost every female streamer i see has nomore then 50 viewers at one time. there are couple who get couple hundred but there is litterly none who surpass that.

on other hand there are guys who get tens of thousands viewers just other day there was a guy streaming wow. he had over 11k watchers/viewers... agian enless you watch alot streams daily more then like 5hours you shoulden't even post.

and flutter..no there being sluts but agian there only few who do that and twitch indeed will shut them off if you report their stream fast enuff.

but since half people here think maybe 10 streamers=everyone guess that shows how much idiots you really are.

There's 0 reason to blame the women, blame the dudes who enable them.

[Nyteyes]

Yup and yes. Especially since you said 'many' for both and not 'all'.

Agreed. Then again, nobody is putting a gun up to these guys' heads and forcing them to "donate". I have never given money to any female twitch user or any twitch user. Why would I pay someone to watch another person play a video game? That's just stupid. Or pay a girl to sit there watching her cause she has a low cut shirt on? If you really want to see a girl with revealing clothing on, search on the internet for porn, its free. Dumbasses.

[Deleted]

Not really, considering they never show anything. You are pretty pathetic if you follow a streamer and watch everything they do just so you can see...nothing.

It's like those idiots have never heard of porn before.

Clever use of male mechanics.

As far as I am aware Twitch is not run by islamic people.
Some guys just lack self control.

Are male twitch casters exploiting women?

[Post]

There's nothing to blame period. Consenting adults should be allowed to engage in whatever transaction they wish so long as it's peaceful. What business is it of anyones to concern themselves with how others spend their own money?

That's a good point. I agree with you, but if people are getting upset because they think it's decreasing the quality of streams or whatever, the women aren't the ones to point fingers at.

[klaps_05]

its just like the cute barista at the local starbucks wearing low cut tops, the tips jar cant handle it. as soon as some more popular streamers opened the pandora box of donations this was bound to happen as the girls dont need to provide any real content outside their assets.

personally im not against donating on twitch, and if i was to do it, i would give it to someone who streams regularly and always makes me laugh when i tune in while providing high level content.

[DarkArchon]

Even tho they did deserve it because of being foolish with there money it's still a sad thing to witness. Donations of $250+ all over the place, falling for these women. It's very misleading and predatory even if the donator consented.

I don't think you watch streams ever if you honestly can't think of any females who have over 100 viewers at a time. There are about 8-10 for HS alone who consistently get 500+ and 5 of them are 2k+. Thats not counting the tons of LOL/DOTA female streamers with decent to great numbers.

To the OP, to a fairly degree yes. There are certainly females out there who only seem to show off their gameplay regardless of whether they are attractive or not. But other's choose to play a persona or are let's say naturally flirty and show a bunch of skin. They don't have to be good at the game they are showing or even really that charismatic. Obviously I think it's dumb, and sort of insulting to actual streamers, but there is nothing to be done about it.

Most of the females who gather large consistent views are attractive, and usually chesty, and show all that off on purpose. it's smart easy money for them. I've seen donations of 25k+ to hot streamers, pretty much cause of just that, which is insane to me.

I mostly watch Trump stream HS, but ill occasionally catch a few others. hafu is a female gamer who is very informative and I feel gets most of her viewers from her gameplay abilities and explanations. Lea, leah whatever it is, I've never seen without a very low hanging shirt, and from the little I've watched talks a lot about topics that i could see being helpful to her already showing off herself. I wouldn't say she is bad at HS, but from what I've watched she makes a ton more costly mistakes then any other streamer, but she averages like 5-10k. And she was the one with the 25 or so thousand dollar donation. I don't blame her, but I do think she knows exactly what she is doing, and apparently does it well enough.

It's just natural selection of naive men spending their money unwisely

[Keosen]

Not if your audience is composed mostly of gay males.
And again, donations aren't forced. It's not like you have to pay a cleavage tax to the government every time you spy boobs or you could go to jail... If you want to see cleavage it's free all over the internet anyway...

No one said they are forced, this isn't the argument in first place, it's about women exploiting men by cleavage/being sexy, something that happens since the dawn of time.
As a girl you can stream without provoking, if you streaming with huge cleavage, hot shorts then it's obvious you doing it in purpose to exploit men (mainly) and get more donations, it's not wrong any way.

[miffy23]

Correct question and thread title would be: are most men really that shallow and easily exploited?

[Faltemer]

They can take their business (which doesn't even exist since twitch is free) elsewhere? Or just not watch girls steaming video in their delicates. The whole initial complaint was "I saw donations charts are really high for girls on twitch" okay so is twitch about watching streams you want to see, or giving a shit about who's donating how much to whom? The blame is baseless; it's their money.

The OP asked if they are exploiting a weakness, which they are. Men have a sex drive, you do anything remotely to fill it and we will like you more automatically. Several I've seen after receiving decent donations flirt with the donors after. I'm not against this or saying it's bad thing necessarily, but by the design of the website, they aren't really racking up viewers how they should. In an ideal world they would use a site for camgirls, and those who want to play video games on a video game website would do just that, instead of being a camgirl and masquerading on a video game site. This isn't an ideal world, and they found an easy way to make some quick effortless money, and they do good on them I suppose.

No one is the victim in all this, it's just sad to A, them getting these donations and B, them wasting space on the website.

I totally agree with you and it's funny you mentioned lea because i noticed on her stream any time she leaves her chair or goes to the back of her room she will switch the camera view to better see her as she leaves and walks back. It's so obvious what she's trying to do.
