Are female twitch casters exploiting men

[DarkArchon]

Lately over the last 2 years there has been a huge blow up of females broadcasting games on Twitch, i was shocked to see when scrolling threw channel after channel that these female broadcasters were getting huge donations.. largely from males. Another trait i found in common with a majority of these broadcasters was wearing revealing tops showing large amounts of cleavage and flexing there sexuality.

Do you believe many of these men are getting suckered, or being taken advantage of? Do you believe many of these women are exploiting male gamers which may be more acceptable to being influenced to throw money at them?

Mod-note: Moving the thread, this isn't just a World of Warcraft general topic. You can carry on the discussion there.

[Zoaric]

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

A fool and his money are easily parted.

It's true :P If you browse channels on Twitch you're not sure if you're on a website to stream gaming, or some dating webcam site.

"Bane slutz from twitchh!"

This thread is going to turn into feminism arguments and privilege checking.

I agree with OP though

[threads]

Of course they are. Any stream where all they do is read donation notes and scroll them across the screen are tbh.

It's not exploitation if the men watching the channels of these women are sending them money because they want to for whatever reasons. Consent isn't coercion. Stop trying to sell victimhood, cause it's pretty easy to turn around: why won't male gamers take female gamers serious if they are intent on showing how to play rather than flaunting cleavage and skin? QQ it's exploitation...
Additionally, is this just a veiled attempt at saying women have no place on twitch.tv?

See how that works?

A large amount of the women i've come across have there boobs half hanging out, and i do believe many are wolves in sheep's clothing using there sexuality to seduce vulnerable men to throw money at them.

How are they being suckered? Is the streamer lying and saying that she will hook up with people who donate?

[Keosen]

Yes and yes.
And to be honest i don't really understand the twitch/stream trend.
As a kid i remember fighting with my brother/friends for who is gonna play the game because we had only one controller and watching someone else play was as boring as watching paint dry, now people are paying other people to see them play through their living room?

No but a sexy cleavage is guaranteed to get you more donations than a hairy chest.

@ OP: Name one girl who doesn't do so already in real life? Even to a lesser extend? All the women I've met exploit men's desire and credulity in one way or another. Even married women seduce their husbands to get than "not so cheap handbag" they've seen in the shopping window. I don'tknow any girl who hasn't manipulated men to follow their bidding at least once in their lifes or maybe to a lesser extend. I've also heard the followig sentence once by a female friend of mine talking to her boyfriend:

"If you wash the dishes now, you can have this *Pointing all over her body* later... *Winkyface*

Kaceytron is the only real female gamer on Twitch anyway.

[Permatree]

How do you know all the donors are guys? And yeah, boobs have been used to get men to spend money for a very long time. Don't see a problem with it personally. It may be a struggle but if a dude is too busy thinking with his head to use his brain that's on him.

[Fluttershy]

People on twitch are no smarter(or less obese) than weaboos/bronies who obsess and pay for their animedolls.

It's just women being women.

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.

[Mormolyce]

Oes noes I feel so exploited.

Won't someone please think of all those poor horny young men?

[kitten87]

i guess it dependds cause the few i watch do not. but i'v also seen some men streamers do it...other day there was a male streamer shirtless talking about woman and sex...he was getong donations left/right ended up with we'll over like 50+ in span of an hour.

as for female one's i'v seen some do it. not all do. but does it really matter? nope. if people are going throw money at them . it's their fault there just supporting that sex sales. both genders do it. i'v seen some streams get shut off from both genders for doing it.

i just dont care anymore. its the internet. get used to it. cleavage isnt crap if the nobody guys who have no gf or ever been by woman wanna ooggle them good for them then...

Feel like this is a kind of reverse prejudice against attractive girls who naturally attract a lot of viewers.

[Archimand]

if retarded ppl throw money at screen just cus a woman showed some flesh, i wouldve done the same if i was female, easy money for minimal work.

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Those are boys, not men

[MrKnubbles]

They're horny guys. The women are not taking the guys' money. The guys are easily giving it up. The women just now how to make them give it up so easily.

I don't like how women get stuff handed to them like this. but that's the nature of the sexes...
