Amouranth hits back at ASMR criticism after her Twitch ban: \u201cIt\u2019s enormously ironic\u201d Twitter\/AmouranthKaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa has hit back at criticism that her controversial ASMR Twitch streams create \u201ccreepers\u201d that harass and plague other female creators, claiming that it\u2019s \u201cenormously ironic.\u201d Amouranth\u2019s latest Twitch ban resulted from her controversial ASMR streams, which have been subject to widespread criticism from viewers and content creators alike, including Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel, Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2019 Lazar, and Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys. However, the biggest concern has been that such streams could create a flow-on effect where creepy viewers who only watch that kind of content move on to other female content creators on the platform and harass them. Amouranth refuted those claims, and now she\u2019s doubled-down on her stance and slammed people who hold that view for being \u201cenormously ironic\u201d for glossing over the issue and blaming it on things that \u201chave no basis.\u201d \u201cI will always find it enormously ironic that the generation that fought \u201cviolent video games don\u2019t cause an uptick in gun\/violent crimes\u201d instantly turn tail and succumb to a bad take like \u2018hot tub\/ASMR girls literally create creepers that plague other girl creators!’\u201d she said. \u201cI always wondered how \u2018think of the children\u2019 and other slap-a-bandaid solutions came about. Why do people try and gloss over systemic issues by blaming causes that have no basis in reality? \u201cZoomers and millennials are more alike with boomers than we thought!\u201d Like I always wondered how \u201cthink of the children\u201d and other slap-a-bandaid solutions came about. Like why do people try and gloss over. systemic issues by blaming causes that have no basis in reality? Zoomers & millennials are more alike with boomers than we thought! \u2014 Kaitlyn (@wildkait) June 20, 2021 \u201cIt turns out popular narratives, and finger-pointing flows like water \u2013 the path of least resistance. Spontaneous genesis is back, baby,\u201d she added. For those unfamiliar with the term, it\u2019s a tongue-in-cheek reference to a dated idea that living creatures could emerge from nonliving matter, such as fleas from dust or maggots from carcasses. In other words, she\u2019s calling people dumb. People had mixed reactions to her comments. Some supported her view, insisting that creepy viewers existed long before the hot tub meta and ASMR meta. Others believe it\u2019s a \u201chuge scapegoat\u201d that takes away from the real issue at hand \u2013 that Twitch is a platform that children use, and it\u2019s not the place for anything that has some semblance to sexual content. In their view, although Amouranth\u2019s streams didn\u2019t give birth to the existence of creepy viewers, they believe her streams have made it \u201cfar, far worse.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
