>>>they're getting paid for letting the common folk have a voyeuristic view into their private life. Many of them aren't doing that honestly: that's why Twitch streamers such as Pokimane and Amouranth have words like "boyfriend" and "husband" banned from their chats. Every time their subscribers find out there's actually another man fucking them in real-life, and the subs have no chance in Hell of being that man, they lose fans. https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/streamer-and-cosplayer-amouranth-loses-300000-followers-on-twitch https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/streamer-and-cosplayer...

> that's why Twitch streamers such as Pokimane and Amouranth have words like "boyfriend" and "husband" banned from their chats I think it is actually much more likely that they have those things banned, because misogynists individuals, such as yourself, constantly bring that narrative up to attack them over that, and make accusations similar to the ones that you just did. It is kind of similar to how when a women talks on voice chat in a video game, will get stupid comments about them being a woman on the internet. Sure, it might not be a big deal when it happens the first couple times, but when it happens every single day of their life, it gets old. Accusations and harassment, such as what you just did, belongs in a similar category of low level attacks, that don't seem like a big deal in a vacuum, but can actually get pretty annoying when hundreds of harassers message you about it, every single day of your life.
