Twitch streamer shuts down sexist troll with amazing comeback Twitch\/Twitter: negaoryxTwitch partner \u2018negaoryx,\u2019 who became a meme a few years back for her iconic reaction to a scene in The Last of Us, has once again gone viral \u2013 this time for expertly shutting down a sexist troll in her chat during one of her latest streams. Trolls are nothing new in Twitch chats, especially for female streamers. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem like they are going away any time soon, and most broadcasters have just decided to ignore them, for better or for worse. While Twitch Partner negaoryx says that most of the time, she follows the aforementioned advice, she recently decided to go another route. During one of her recent streams, a troll in her Twitch chat asked a very inappropriate question about the color of her underwear, which caused her to call out the user in front of her viewers, claiming that people need to \u201crespect women\u201d. https:\/\/twitter.com\/negaoryx\/status\/1354147400160403457?s=20 \u201cWhat did you expect? Did you expect I was gonna be like, \u2018Blue, why do you wanna find out? Here\u2019s my number!\u2019 Like, what do you think people are going to do, my dude? Like, how do you expect this going any other way than how it went,\u201d she said. While that might have been where the clip would have ended, another chatter quickly tried to deflect by saying that she couldn\u2019t take a joke, which caused her to expertly break down why that excuse doesn\u2019t work. \u201cThe rest of us can still joke, you can\u2019t because you were never joking in the first place, you were just being a misogynistic, sexist piece of sh*t,\u201d negaoryx said. \u201cAnd then, you don\u2019t like hearing that because someone\u2019s holding a mirror up to you and it makes you uncomfortable because you know you and you know the parts of you that are good. So in your heart, you have to come up with a narrative that makes you feel better about the fact that somebody\u2019s asking you to confront the parts about yourself that you hate the most.\u201d Unfortunately it’s because I see these kinds of comments really regularly, and after 4.5 years of doing this I just know how I feel about it without having to think, you know? It’s nothing new, the only difference is I said it out loud instead of thinking it to myself. \u2014 Emme Montgomery (negaoryx) (@negaoryx) January 26, 2021 The streamer uploaded the clip to Twitter and it quickly went viral, gaining over 1.3 million views within less than 12 hours at the time of writing. Most seem to be viewing the rant positively, with multiple members of the games industry chiming in to praise the Twitch streamer for her response to the toxic behavior. This isn\u2019t the first time negaoryx has gone viral; two years ago, her reaction to a bunny getting killed in Naughty Dog\u2019s post apocalyptic game The Last of Us gained traction across social media, even earning responses from the developers of the game. While the obvious hope is that her speech will cause trolls to rethink their offensive messages, the chances of that happening is, unfortunately, unlikely \u2013 but we can bet future trolls will think twice before deciding to say such things in her chat after one of their own was put on blast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
