If you support a streamer because you think there’s a chance you might date them or gain access to their personal life, you aren’t a supporter you’re a predator.

It’s the way that some yt queer folks will try and drag Beyoncé for making a queer centric house music album claiming it to be appropriation, while they also be using AAVE and appropriating everything from black femme’s/black culture. Make it make sense.
I don’t see how people are absolutely shocked by the OGs of twitch/gaming are being outed for sexual assault and harrasment. Have you looked at the community!?! Some of y’all hate women so much that you refuse to believe your heroes are scumbags. I shed no tears.
Support your friends getting sober. Support people you love getting sober. Support people getting sober. If someone doesn’t want to drink, let them not drink! Let sober people be sober.
Toxic positivity is real. People get sad, bad things happen, it’s totally normal and healthy to embrace those sad feelings when you are processing something. Don’t force being happy, it’s okay to not be okay.
Hey y’all💕
I’m not a woman.
I appreciate your hit ups and kindness, but I am femme presenting, I do not identify as a woman. Please stop lumping and tagging femme presenting non binary folks into posts unless they individually want to be.

A month ago I spoke up about a bigger streamer abusing me. When spoke up I was fully intending to be met with hate and disappear. I’m still here. It’s scary. It gets better, but you will be okay.
Hey Twitch folks! Im looking for LGBTQIA+ talent/content creators, DJs, artist, dancers, creatives, crafters, makeup folks, gamers, poets, basically anyone with a passion to share their work for a fun, PAID collaboration during Pride month. Shoot your shot below.DMs are open!
Today I was featured on the front page of my local newspaper. I’ve been featured in national outlets and more, but seeing my face on my local news was a very emotional moment for me. Queer, Black, Nerd Excellence ❤️
“ I don’t want to deal with social justice or politics when I stream” Being able to say something like this is a privilege. Marginalized individuals are attacked on AND off these virtual spaces. Human rights isn’t politics. Denounce racism & hate, silence is violence.
My privacy, my family, my safety, career has been in danger because I called out colorism and other things with her. This is not a joke. This is not a game. This is harassment and it needs to stop. Here is the truth. I’ve lied about nothing, and there is so much more.
I know I don’t have to explain myself, but I did not gleefully drag a colleague. There are dates. I’ve tried to speak to them about these things for so long. I tried to silently slip away from their team, but there was insidious stuff happening in the background to me.
Last weekend I was done.
I was gonna throw in the towel & stop existing in this space. I was in a lose lose situation and just told my story thinking that was it. That my voice didn’t matter. Thank you everyone who heard me and believed me. Thank you so much for hearing me.
Celebrate Black Brilliance! You can catch me on the front page/BHM carousel of @twitch all month long with so many other talented Black creators!So excited to be included in this event this year!

No matter how much "beef" or anger you may have with someone...to misgender them and disrespect their gender identity is cruel, inappropriate, disrespectful and TRANSPHOBIC! you ain't gotta like every person, but PLEASE respect people's identity.
My life shouldn’t have to be threatened because I disagree with someone. This isn’t the way this streaming space should work. It’s not okay, healthy or safe.
Someone just said to me " Women are so lucky, they have those pad thingies and can poop their pants inconspicuously" and now im uninstalling the internet. It's been fun- i'll miss yall.
I am live right now, and I’m not going to be silent and pretend it’s not happening. These attacks have been going on for nearly 3 years for me. Constant reports, constant bans. @Twitch@TwitchSupport
I’m not fucking invisible. My voice matters & I’m tired of these white dudes in places of privilege telling marginalized folks we are wasting time. Kick rocks.
I stand by & support folks who are HIV positive & I think it is very important to break the stigma related to HIV/AIDS. If that is hard for you to read you can feel free to unfollow me 👈🏾🥰
Shaming people for their streaming setups, overlays and graphics is massively weird energy. So many people are learning and growing & creating these things themselves. I really can’t stand the snobby attitude some folks have towards new streamers like they never had a 1st day.
Hi @twitch please make pronouns native. Tonight the worst experience I ever had because I chose to add !pronouns in my title to let people know it’s safe. Me being me is not asking for bullying/hate. I just want to exist & find my community.There has to be a better way.
Call out your friends, family, loved ones for their racist,homophobic and other hateful comments in the MOMENT. Call it out while it’s still fresh in their memories. Be real, be straight up, be bold. It is hard, but it is essential and NEEDED.
Heya! Seems like Twitch rolled out an update and changed CSS again and in turn broke the pronouns extension, I am looking into it and working on a fix at the moment, apologies for any inconvenience
Hey y’all, I’m done applying for partner. I appreciate all the support and energy from everyone in my community and all the folks who believe in me, but I can do awesome and have done awesome on my own. I’ve been denied so many times and I’m not letting this break my mental.
My sister overdosed and passed away. I will not be active here. I will not be here. I don't know what else to say. I will update you as soon as I can. I am sorry.
I had an abusive experience. I was honest and everything proved that tonight, but the fact that someone used the pain and grief of others haphazardly try and clear their name is awful. I stand with the Black community. I don’t stand by abusers.
Stop treating every black person you interact with as THE black person. Black people are not a monolith. We are individuals, I am a person, we are people.
Announcement: I am very excited to share this custom pc sent over from @IntelGaming & @PowerGPU! They have been doing amazing work amplifying the voices of folx from underrepresented communities & I am so excited to create with them this year! Stay tuned & Happy New Year! -Quin
I am a person too.
I feel the pain & weight of all the communities effected by me coming forward. I am not without empathy, but I did not deserve to be silently blackballed & treated that way. To all the people who have apologized for participating in this purge, Thank you.
So many Black content creators speak about uplifting our joy and not focusing on trauma. Now is one of those times when folks really need to listen to us. BLM goes beyond your guilt and clickbait.
So excited to announce I accepted a team lead position for @teamtranstopia! A team exclusively for trans and/or gender diverse folks on @twitch! Applications are now open🥰🥰

I’m excited to announce that next week I will be taking over the @Xbox official twitch channel for #BlackHistoryMonth
So honored to have this opportunity! #ad
Dear new viewer, I am not mean. I am not aggressive. I am not a “snowflake”. I am just harassed A LOT for just being who I am and want to keep my community and myself safe. Thank you for sticking around and understanding & if you don’t 💁🏾
Pride started with a riot. A riot started by a Trans Black woman. Let’s celebrate how much has changed & evolved since then, but also keep in focus how far we still have to go.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because you aren’t partnered on twitch doesn’t mean brands aren’t watching you. Stay passionate about your dreams and goals and everything will fall into place, sincerely a twitch affiliate💕
Black people aren’t scary and being white doesn’t make you a safe choice. I’m really sad and disappointed by the shit I’ve been seeing on the timeline. Brands, do better.
It makes me really sad that there are people who feel uncomfortable speaking about their identity because of the gatekeeping that exists in our community. You’re valid and anyone who says you’re not queer enough to take up space can kick rocks. You need a cheerleader? I got you!
I have worked hard in this space as a trans black person, I’ve been so patient and graceful with you in this space. You are trapping people and dragging them when they don’t agree with you at all. You will not destroy me.
When people say things like “I do this and that and xyz, what’s your excuse?” I instantly tune out. I am me and you are you. We are not the same, our journeys are not the same.
He literally represents the most toxic parts of twitch culture that they try to hide. This is exactly what I expect from someone who describes himself as a professional neck beard.
It’s okay to disconnect.
It’s okay to protect your mental.
It’s okay to speak your boundaries.
Don’t let anyone bully you into doing something you don’t want to!
I did everything I could. The proof is there. Telling me I should’ve done more and do things differently is yet another symptom of perfectionism and white supremacy culture. Black people should be able to speak openly and public about their pain and feelings.
I promise you- disrespecting someone’s identity and pronouns because you don’t like them or they are doing something you don’t agree with isn’t the flex you think it is.
I don’t need anything. Or want anything. I just wanted to stop crying everyday and I think I’m going to be good. Support Trans Life Line translifeline.org/donate/
💕I’ll be doing my first partnered @twitch stream tmrw at 7pm est! It’s also #TransDayOfVisibility and I’m so honored to be playing some games w/ my beautiful community Thank y’all for everything!💕Thank you for seeing me!!!!
I just wanna remind y’all, ban AND report. This month is gonna be a lot when it comes to harassment and that’s awful and unfair, but try your best to tell your community to report immediately so we can make the twitch ecosystem a lil bit better for all!
This person is still actively trying to cause rifts and issues between the community. I need everyone to understand that transparency is important. If you tell the truth always you have nothing to worry about. Protect your mental health and be honest!
Hello,
You’re pretty for a black girl isn’t a compliment. You’re pretty for a black girl isn’t a compliment. You’re pretty for a black girl isn’t a compliment. You’re pretty for a black girl isn’t a compliment. You’re pretty for a black girl isn’t a compliment.
Please stop.
We are coming up on 1 year since George Floyd & the surge of everyone in this twitch space noticing black people. I have a lot of feelings about everything that has happened. I wish black joy, black achievements, black happiness was lifted and seen.
Not just pain & trauma.
I wish that I could exist on @twitch & not have my existence be attacked or challenged daily, but this is the world WE live in. Whether you choose to use your platform to amplify Black voices or not, you must accept that your SILENCE does so much damage to our communities.
I truly am sad and hurting. This public display isn’t good for anyone, but why are people trying to normalize me or other folks suffering in silence. That’s not normal, that’s not okay. The layers, trauma of this for Black people in this space is massive.
I promise you supporting queer streamers doesn’t make you queer & if that’s where your brain goes “ oh I can’t follow them people gonna think I’m gay” then just block me. I don’t want that homophobic fake support anyway. 💁🏾
My voice, my words, my existence doesn’t mean less then. The idea that people would immediately jump on me, abuse me and demean and treat me like a liar without question has traumatized me. I am still on a hiatus from this space. 👋🏽
I can’t get over the representation in Sex Education. I am also enamored with the absolute dismantling of beauty standards in this show. To see marginalized folks sexuality elevated so loudly is life changing. I wish I had this show when I was a kid.
Just so we are clear. The streamer builds the community the community enables the streamer. Your community is a reflection of you. Now stop playing and clean up your shit.
There’s a lot of negativity on the timeline, but I wanna remind y’all marginalized folks are more than just their trauma. Celebrate the good vibes too, all the time.
