Twitch streamer Sydeon goes viral exposing sexist abuse during Valorant game Twitch: sydeonAfter attempting to queue up for a Valorant game, cosplay star and Twitch sensation Sydeon has gone viral with a post detailing the sexist abuse she was subjected to from teammates. 23-year-old Twitch streamer and cosplayer extraordinaire, Sydeon, has taken the platform by storm in a short time. Back in January, we picked her as one of the rising stars to watch out for this year. Renowned for stunning cosplay outfits and Among Us appearances alongside the likes of Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hoffstetter and Sykkuno, she\u2019s amassed hundreds of thousands of followers within the first quarter of 2021. Fame, however, doesn\u2019t grant you immunity to toxic players, and the Twitch star has shared a recent experience in Valorant solo queue. Sydeon\u2019s Valorant experience goes viral In a Twitter thread on June 21, the Sydney relays a pretty harrowing Valorant solo queue experience. \u201cQueued one solo queue game. Got held hostage after they yelled at me telling me to get back in the kitchen, and asking why I even queue up to play games,\u201d she writes. \u201cI\u2019m shaking. I\u2019ve never been so upset, people either call me boosted for playing with friends, or I get flamed cause of my f**king gender,\u201d She goes on to call out said toxic players, noting \u201cALSO I\u2019D JUST LIKE TO SAY IF YOU\u2019RE CALLING ME S**T CAUSE I\u2019M A GIRL WE\u2019RE IN THE SAME F**KING RANK YOU BOZOS YOU\u2019RE BAD TOO!\u201d ALSO ID JUST LIKE TO SAY IF YOURE CALLING ME SHIT CAUSE IM A GIRL WE\u2019RE IN THE SAME FUCKING RANK YOU BOZOS YOURE BAD TOO!!!! \u2014 Syd \ud83d\udd2e (@Sydeon) June 22, 2021 She concludes by writing \u201cSaying \u2018it\u2019s videos games s**t talk is normal get used to it\u2019 is not it. If that\u2019s the culture then f**king change it.\u201d ALLLSOOOO saying \u201cit\u2019s videos games shit talk is normal get used to it\u201d is not it. If that\u2019s the culture then fucking change it \u2014 Sydney\ud83d\udd2e (@Sydeon) June 22, 2021 Not long after her first thread dropped, she tags the official Valorant Twitter account and pleads \u201cif you can listen to comms of me being called a \u2018wh**e\u2019 and being told to go back to the kitchen that\u2019d be really cool. It makes the atmosphere unsafe to have people like this playing.\u201d Anyways, @PlayVALORANT if you can listen to comms of me being called a \u201cwhore\u201d and being told to go back to the kitchen that\u2019d be rly cool. It makes the atmosphere unsafe to have people like this playing. Happy to provide more info if needed \ud83d\udc4d pic.twitter.com\/RqmZWDvpt4 \u2014 Sydney\ud83d\udd2e (@Sydeon) June 22, 2021 Valorant respond to Sydeon\u2019s tweet In response to Sydney tagging the title\u2019s account, Valorant\u2019s Revenue Lead, Joe \u2018SWAGGERNAU7\u2019 Lee, quickly responded, asking \u201cwhat\u2019s the account name and tag?\u201d \u2013 presumably to take action. Fellow streamers such as LilyPichu have also taken time to reply, responding \u201cit\u2019s why I never like using voice chat in solo queue.\u201d While the solution to the issue remains to be seen, Riot are on the case and hopefully will get the respective rule-breakers suspended.
