Macaiyla calls out \u201ctoxic\u201d Twitch fans obsessing over streamers Twitch: MacaiylaTwitch streamer Macaiyla has called out \u201ctoxic\u201d fans who fixate on and obsess over their favorite streamers. Macaiyla has been in the livestreaming game for a long time, and even helps manage others, so it\u2019s fair to say she\u2019s probably seen the best and worst of the streaming world. On August 4, she posted a series of tweets, warning fans that streamers \u201care not your friends\u201d and to stop \u201cpresuming things about them.\u201d \u201cI see it for Tyler, I see it for LS, I see it for all my friends,\u201d she said, referring to League of Legends streamers Tyler1 and LS. \u201cYou don\u2019t know them personally so f**k off.\u201d After not tweeting for a couple of days, Macaiyla returned in the early hours of August 7 with a longer statement clarifying what she meant, explaining that she \u201cdidn\u2019t want to hurt anyone\u2019s feelings.\u201d \u201cThe point of this tweet was to point out that obsessing and presuming things about streamers (in a toxic manner) is not okay,\u201d she explained. \u201cThis was towards the people who comment on things that they do not know about a creator, since they don\u2019t have any relationship.\u201d At the end of the statement, she said: \u201cYou sit and type as if you know me or the situation (which you don\u2019t) hence why this tweet was even made to begin with. That\u2019s all\u2026 I just hate reading hate comments or tweets on people presuming sh*t for likes and comments and karma.\u201d Calling the actions of these fans \u201cstupid as f**k,\u201d Macaiyla has clearly had an issue with this for some time and is finally calling out the toxicity. Obviously, the boundaries between streamers and their fans can sometimes be blurred, especially since they give so much of themselves while broadcasting \u2014 but it\u2019s worth remembering there\u2019s a limit, and that viewing someone\u2019s stream doesn\u2019t necessarily make you a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
