I don't understand how the author managed to write this, post it, and not realize how absurd it is. Many booby streamers depend entirely on presenting a hyper-sexualized image of themselves. It allows them to extract revenue from an audience that has a very skewed, unhealthy view of women; this audience will pay large amounts of money because they feel as if it entitles them to female attention, and booby streamers will often enable these beliefs as long as things don't get unreasonable. There's a reason they go out of their way to attract negative attention (some will do this to the point of self parody, eg Kaceytron). There's a reason they go out of their way to encourage inappropriate attitudes. It's not a coincidence; it's their bottom line. Not that it's justified, or ever OK, but they attract abuse mostly because they generate low quality content and encourage inappropriate behavior, not because the Twitch viewerbase has some universal, misogynistic bent.
