Korean streamer goes viral calling out \u201cpredatory\u201d men on Twitch Twitch: YoojinTwitch streamer Yoojin has gone viral on Twitter after posting a video discussing the \u201cpredatory\u201d nature of some male viewers towards female streamers. Yoojin is a 23-year-old Korean student living in Los Angeles whose content normally revolves around Apex Legends and Valorant, streaming to almost 21,000 followers. In a video posted to Twitter, clipped from a recent stream, she explained how sometimes men will donate money to her, and then act as though they are entitled to having a conversation. She said, \u201cI just wanna be the person that tells you guys how it is, so that you don\u2019t delude yourselves and that you don\u2019t waste your time\u2026if you are in Twitch and you come into a girl\u2019s stream and you think \u2018oh her stream is still small I might have a chance\u2019, you\u2019re f***ed up. That\u2019s a little bit predatory, not even a little bit, like, high-key predatory.\u201d Yoojin continued to describe the incidents that might happen, explaining that it would normally begin with a gesture such as a donation. \u201cIt completely baffles my mind when guys are like\u2026 \u2018Maybe I have a chance if I Tier 3 subbed her or if I donate $100 or if I donate 1000 bits.\u2019 \u201c\u2018I\u2019m gonna Twitch whisper her\u2026and then she\u2019ll be like \u2018thanks\u2019 and then they\u2019ll see the thanks and they\u2019ll be like \u2018oh my god she responded to me like we\u2019re gonna have a conversation now\u2019 and then they just keep spamming shit and then the girl doesn\u2019t respond.\u201d She went on to reveal that it would normally result in insults being thrown or a sense of entitlement, adding \u201cThey\u2019re like \u2018oh my god she\u2019s such a b**** how could this happen to me\u2026 I called you cute like 5 days a row in chat like how could you do this to me.\u2019 Bro, meet a girl IRL. Don\u2019t come here!\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/yoojpls\/status\/1336147269888831489 The Tweet quickly blew up, with more than 25,000 likes at the time of writing, and several responses from other Twitch users backing up her point of view. One person agreed, \u201cSpittin straight FACTS right here.\u201d Yoojin expanded on her point in a thread underneath the original tweet after it gathered attention, adding that she understands men can experience \u201csimilar if not identical forms of discomfort through creepy\/tactless approaches on Twitch.\u201d The scenario she described was something she herself had experienced and witnessed and she said she hopes people don\u2019t dismiss \u201cthe common phenomenon of cishet guys trying to take advantage of young girls streaming, with or without money.\u201d Her final piece of advice was not to treat Twitch like a dating service and to instead be \u201cupfront about your intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
