Current Events > X-Play host goes on rant about sexist YouTube and Twitch commenters

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pretty good rant Hard to argue against a single point she brings up.

It's hilarious that she points out that #Gamers will whine about stuff she says in reviews even though her and Adam read scripts written from the same team. So predictable. Pretty sad this is still such a hassle.

damn what the hell happened to her

Yeah.

Anyone who has ever played games online with girls or read the comments section of any video/articles involving girls can't deny the rampant and often weirdly aggressive sexism.

A lot of dudes out there have some serious issues. It's honestly weird.

Mario doesn't care if you a dick or a vagina folks. He'll still jump if you press the button

That's not Morgan Webb

I like Adam because he's amusing, and nostalgia, has nothing to do with being female lol.

She's just mad people like him more lol

Well I mean Morgan webb and Olivia munn probably did exist in those positions mostly because they were hot tbqh. Having hot hosts goes a long way on TV

Just mad cause she looks like one of Tim Taylor's kids from Home Improvement

This is my first time hearing about her, what do you mean?

And the funny thing in this thread now is.....people in here are ALREADY proving her point like.....how fucking stupid can some of you be to not see it?

Uhhh... It's called "The Beauty Premium" - The income gap between attractive and unattractive people is comparable to the gap between genders or ethnicities.

ngl, i totally forgot that g4 relaunched. Guess they're as irrelevant as I thought they would be if this is the first thing I heard from them since they started producing content again.

They can't help it. It's who they are.

Nobody cares

Nerds want video games and hot chicks

I always found Olivia Munn hot

Oh, I thought this was one of the original people and they just looked different now.

Unless they were on after I stopped watching the original channel.

That was cringe to the max.

This

People are going to flame me for this. But Yes Olivia Munn did use her looks and her appeal when she was on G4. This isn't even a question.

This doesn't mean people should be talking about ---- off to a women on a live chat. But come on.

There's plenty of content out there offering that.

Imagine wanting to get your dick out for fucking X-Play.

Olivia Munn way hotter than this chick

Frosk is pretty decent. That said, the relaunched G4 has been a complete disaster so far.

Hot chicks don't have to be exclusive to porn

it's sad that gaming is so full of incels/misogynists, that a woman's value in the industry is diminished due to her appearance.

Frosk is cool, I've liked her so far

Rude

I reeeeeallllly don't think that was a smart move biting back at an audience that simply connected with Adam as old fans and know him more than everyone else except Kevin.

Like wtf does she expect to happen now? Gamers apologizing for being losers and the new channel to gain a billion more viewers? And yeah she wasn't wrong about anything, but goddamn G4 hasn't even come close to making noise and that wasn't helpful.

Yeah it does. We voted on it

I stand with Foreskin as well.

a lot of the people [who like him more] like him more because he's not a woman

i mean. you can see it in the comments people have been making on their content. she gets a lot of sexist comments. "You have to come from the LoL scene to fully grasp why she is so angry. The hate toward her in twitch chat was so violent and it was the case every single stream."

but yeah just keep telling yourself none of it is real sexism.

Apparently people only like don't like her because she's not a hot female.

Despite the fact that Adam is a balding middle aged man. And always has been.

Guess the idea hasn't popped into her head that it might be that he's more entertaining and perhaps nostalgia is a factor, but instead the world is just against her.

Its not just gaming, and it's not just "woman", stop with this false narrative - it's everyone.

Gamers: Forced diversity is bad because it means less qualified people get the job
Also Gamers: Why the fuck isn't this chick as hot as the last one?

How do sexist comments mean they're 'connecting with Adam'

Weird how #Gamers are in denial about how toxic they are to women then.

I have seen no evidence of this, so I'll take take it blindly and believe everything she says because otherwise I guess I'm sexist. Can't be that...maybe people prefer the guy they grew up with???? Nah.

Lol.

I like how this implies that gamers would be kind to an unattractive middle aged woman if she was entertaining.

Hell attractive women are still treated like garbage by weirdo Gamers.

If it was Morgan Webb, you bet your ass they would.

You intentionally ignored 90% of my argument. Good job on that, it's honestly impressive.

eventually you get tired of pretending it's all ok. at a certain point when you've been subjected to so much bigotry, if it gets you angry enough, you reach the "fuck it" point where you'll speak your mind about your experiences even if it upsets people.

she didn't do this expecting it to stop the hateful comments. even in this thread there's a strong sexist response to her. i think it's obvious she did it because it's cathartic to call out the people who've been hounding her

I like how this implies Morgan Webb was treated all fine and dandy by Gamers to begin with.

If a woman is attractive they're accused of being fake and only getting the job for their looks.

Either way they're bombarded with constant toxic shit.

I don't see many if any toxic comments on this Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/GamerGrandma - when I watch the videos. Can you link any?

That was the other half of her argument she offshot into speaking about why everyone loves Adam but everyone else involved in the show working hard aren't given anywhere close the same sort of appreciation, not just her being singled out due to the sexist and misogynistic voices online.
