CodeMiko breaks down on-stream after inappropriate comments from \u201ccreepy\u201d viewers Twitch\/Instagram: CodeMikoWhile chatting with viewers on Twitch, popular VTuber \u2018CodeMiko\u2019 broke down and had to remove herself from the broadcast for several minutes after facing a barrage of inappropriate comments over her attire. For many female content creators, dealing with inappropriate comments is simply viewed as part of the job. Ranging from minor remarks to claims of full-blown sexual harassment, female streamers often find themselves in extremely uncomfortable, and even dangerous, situations. During a stream on her Twitch channel, CodeMiko\u2019s technician \u2014 the wizard behind Twitch\u2019s most well-known VTuber \u2014 broke down in tears after being bombarded by inappropriate comments, and slammed those viewers for the way they interact with women on the platform. While testing out some new motion-capture equipment for her VTuber streams, Miko\u2019s technician had to put on a new mo-cap outfit. While doing so, some of her viewers began to comment on the attire, and she quickly tried nipping the conversation in the bud: \u201cChat, don\u2019t be weird.\u201d Unfortunately, things escalated as some viewers began making sexually suggestive comments. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t like [it if I said] \u2018Did your d**k get smaller? Your crotch area looks smaller today\u2019,\u201d the technician quickly clapped back at them. As some viewers tried to justify their comments, Miko chastised them again: \u201cThere are certain ways [that] you say certain things that makes it creepy!\u201d The VTuber also pointed out the difference between receiving a compliment from a close friend, compared to a random stranger on the internet. \u201cIt\u2019s like it\u2019s wrong for me to feel uncomfortable [when people make these comments],\u201d the streamer revealed. \u201cIt\u2019s like if I feel uncomfortable, then [viewers] are just like \u2018wear [something else]\u2019.\u201d Despite trying to stay positive in the face of such harassment, Miko\u2019s technician nearly broke down into tears, and had to exit the stream for several minutes in order to collect herself before returning. Miko eventually continued testing out her new VTuber gear, but the incident serves as another stark reminder of the issues female streamers must contend with that their male counterparts do not, and the overwhelming harassment many female content creators face on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
