Twitch Review: Girl vs Guy Streamers

Girl vs Guy Twitch Streamers

Hi guys. I'm about to dip my toe into a very controversial topic not only on Twitch, but on the Internet. So be ready to disagree with me, or cheer along with what I say. Regardless, I'm about to discuss the hot topic of "grill" (girl) streamers, vs guy streamers on Twitch.

Boobs. Let me guess, that was your first thought right? That's natural. The world and the market of entertainment is over saturated with sex and so of course you would think of boobs first.When I say "girl" streamer, you're probably thinking immediately of the "IRL" section of Twitch where finding cleavage is as easy as looking at the thumbnails. Girls with lots of low cut shirts, showing off their "talent" as you'd say.

I'm here to say: so what? A girl has breasts. Big deal. Do you expect her to wear a turtle neck and tape down her breasts to be taken seriously as a streamer? Why? They're just breasts. Yes, there will be some girls on Twitch (and the Internet in general) who will use their assets to their advantage because they KNOW there are viewers who will be interested in that. Well, good for them. Its not that different from the men on Twitch who stylize or center attention on their beards. They know there will be girls into the beards, and guys envious of them, so they use it. A beard isn't sexual like breasts, yet its still part of that person's body being used to grab attention. Well... good for them. Utilize what you have to get some more viewers. Just remember that not all girls with large breasts are trying to focus your attention on their cleavage. They also don't deserve your harassment, which yes, female streamers deal with on a consistent basis. Sit in any busy female streamers chat for one single hour, and see if you don't see something along the lines of "show your tits" in chat at least once.

Don't get me wrong now. I think that Twitch deserves to keep quality streamers over gimmicky ones. However, did you ever think about the fact that these gimmicky streamers are helping encourage more people to be brought into Twitch in general, and then those viewers might happen upon some of those other better quality streamers after? Would they have found that quality streamer without the initial gimmicky allure? Its hard to say, maybe not. The more viewers on Twitch, the better for all streamers, because it gives more money to Twitch who can in return give better options to all streamers for success. The gimmicky streams are not taking viewers away from quality streamers in my opinion... quite the opposite.

So the next time you sit in a Twitch chat and decide to chime in with all the other haters ranting about the "IRL titty streams" ruining Twitch... think about what I've said. Let those girls dance, giggle, work out... whatever... you don't have to watch them. Let those guys stroke their beards for new followers or flex their muscles. Again, you don't have to watch them. There are TONS of options on Twitch for watching. Lets stop hating on other communities and just work on supporting the streamers we enjoy, shall we?
