> Are you referring to Twitch I wasn't directly. Twitch is just another broadcast medium. The only thing that's different is that its normally private, so young teens/adults can view the stream without the parents being aware. What is perplexing to me is that in our[1] society, public violence against women is almost never accepted. Men are shamed[2] and hung out to dry for doing it(if they are caught) but we as a culture accept intimidating and violent behavior towards women on the internet. If I were to hurl abuse in the street at a woman in the same way that is done online, I'd be punched. So I'm not sure why there is a divide between online/offline here. I have a few ideas, but nothing concrete I would sum up here. [1]Anglo saxon, western [2] I'm not going to go into the whole issue of women being "protected" from violence, its a large and complex subject full of holes.
