Twitch streamer under fire for hateful comments about transgender community WingsOfRedemption, YouTube \/ UbisoftPopular livestreaming platform Twitch, like many online communities, can be a haven for both positive change and negative interactions \u2013 one of which took place during a livestream held by content creator Jordie \u2018WingsOfRedemption\u2019 Jordan. Jordan was playing a game of Rainbow Six: Siege for his audience when the transgender community was brought up as a topic in the conversation, after a fellow player on the mic speculated that one of R6\u2019s operators, Gridlock, was transgender. \u201c\u2026It looks like a dude wearing makeup,\u201d Jordan agreed. \u201cThere\u2019s different levels of transgender. There\u2019s \u2018good\u2019 trans and \u2018bad\u2019 trans.\u201d One of Jordan\u2019s teammates appeared to call out his wildly problematic statement, laughingly asking, \u201cWhat does that even mean?\u201d \u201cSome transgender actually look like what they\u2019re going for, while others look like a guy with a sailor tattoo and a beard with lipstick on,\u201d Jordan continued. His comments were backed up by another player in the group\u2019s voice chat, who claimed that \u201cAll trans look the same to me, man.\u201d This vitriol caused a stir online, with many viewers decrying Jordan\u2019s statements on the subject across Reddit. \u201cI don\u2019t know how people can defend this,\u201d one commenter wrote of the debacle. \u201cThis is the equivalent of saying that being gay is sometimes bad, or a woman sometimes bad, or black sometimes bad. As in, you need to be the PROPER version of LGBT for it to be appropriate. This kind of filth needs to be cleaned from Twitch.\u201d an episode of the PKA Podcast, should they ever come out as gay. \u201cLet me say this \u2013 if my kids grow up to be gay, I\u2019m beating the shit out of \u2018em,\u201d Jordan said. \u201c\u2026look here, there\u2019s two choices in life. You pretend or you\u2019re straight, or I beat you to death.\u201d Jordan has yet to respond to the backlash from his latest statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
