I dont consider this cheaping. No one is gonna remember you on twitch. You will be history. These women will cash the money out, and have a great life with those money. Power to them, for exploiting the system.

All this could have been solved by twitch/Amazon. Instead, they ignore it. So i dont hold any grudge to these women at all. If these corrupted bastards are allowing this, Then there is no point in shaming them.

Yeah that is why I quoted "cheapening" since the poster called it that, but I don't see it that way.

I am not going to ride my high horse thinking that I would pass on the chance of making an elite living out of spamming my dick pics. I was working yesterday, Saturday, almost all day dealing with an issue at work that caught us by surprise. Spamming dick pics for half a million a year sounds like heaven when I am in the middle of my fourth hour of calls with some international team.

Also, I believe that these individuals who exercise their "physical attractiveness" privilege in order to access an easy life have no room to use their platform and ask others to forego their own privileges either, white privilege, male privilege, inherited money privilege, etc. It's the same bullshit, it's just that the normal looking people haven't yet grasped the concept, or would rather convince themselves they are attractive too.

Companies these days are afraid of PR nightmare. If a company doesn't apologize, it means they are confident in their PR system.

Or they’re confident in their product. A bit like JK Rowling.

 

[Kalamari]

Vertagear was afraid of Amazon retribution, it would hurt significantly if Amazon stopped selling Vertagear chairs.

 

[kiphalfton]

Brilliant, this was worth the controversy

I can't recall her showing her booty off that much when I dropped into her stream a couple times. Which maybe I missed it.

 

[BadBurger]

Twitch is only good for research for new games before buying. Otherwise it is the realm of simps, and young women who would have been street walkers in the absence of Twitch.

Is that harsh? I don't know. But it feels apt.

After 46 years death isn't looking to bad.

A) don't understand the original tweet/joke
B) don't understand how it's offensive

Joke differentiates between the commonly seen male/female streamer. Males are small, in the corner, with the game taking up the majority of the space. Females put their body front and center and have the game in a tiny corner instead.

This is literally what popped up just now when I went to Twitch. Went over there to see if I could prove the shitty joke wrong, but on this category(cringe), I played myself. Dudes have waaaay too many overlay elements though. At least with ASMR EARLICKER 4K I can keep my male gaze on that sick ass GAMER chair without all the shitty overlay stuff.

 

[Boss Mog]

I'll never understand why companies, let alone anyone, listen and bow down to degenerates on Twitter.

 

[Lupingosei]

B) don't understand how it's offensive

It is not really offensive, but pretty much how it is on Twitch. However this time not only the professionally offended Twitter were angry also the horde of simps proectings their queens. So a perfect storm of morons.

I'll never understand why companies, let alone anyone, listen and bow down to degenerates on Twitter.

Well because the Twitch simps were also involved and that adds a lot of degenerates to the pot.

 

[UnNamed]

There is something really stupid in this.

You have your audience who maybe like this type of jokes or they don't care, and there are women among them.
Then you have this people who find controversies everywhere as a sport, the "keyboard activists" .

You give your apologies to this people, no one believe because you really think there is something controversial, only because you are afraid to lose money.

Your audience is now angry because you're not cool anymore and feel betrayed.

Activist will not buy your product anyway.

...

...

... Profit?

 

[SJRB]

Prime example on why you never apologize for a joke.

These mobs don't want your apology, they want your head. As soon as you bow down, it's over. Don't negotiate with terrorists.

 

[subsmoke]

These companies don't seem to understand something. The people they're kowtowing to i.e. wokesters, they don't give a shit about Vertagear's apology. They still hate them and want them to go out of business and if you want proof of that you can just look at the replies to their apology. SJWs want blood and once they decide you're their enemy, they almost never change their mind. They fired some innocent guy and groveled at the feet of the wokester mob and it didn't do them a bit of good. All it did was make it so that actual potential paying customers like me don't want anything to do with them.

 

[GreatnessRD]

One day, people will stop being soft bitches. I'll probably be 80 or dead, but one day its gonna happen.

 

[GymWolf]

Closing my Twitter account is one of the best decision I've ever made.

Not having one to begin with was even better.

Also, how is that even a joke when it is absolutely true?!

 

[OmegaSupreme]

*People complain about sexism
*Company apologizes
*GAF complains

rinse and repeat.

"sexism" sure jan. Bye bye.

 

[kyussman]

Not ever opening one was mine,lol.

 

[SJRB]

Best Twitter move I made was unfollow people pushing SJW or political agendas and replace them with porn stars. My feed is GREAT.

 

[Faithless83]

I don't understand the joke, maybe the issue was it wasn't funny

You not understanding the joke, makes it even funnier.

Not porn stars on my end, but lots and lots of tech porn. CRTBot in particular is pretty sexy.

But you are here still seeing and responding about tweets from Twitter because someone here loves this…makes sense!

Face it, the lot of you LOVE social media!

There is literally someone that posts something from Twitter on here almost daily lmfao!

Also, I don’t get what the picture is saying and the outrage from people that are hurt from this…

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

Have some self respect and stand by your fucking joke you cowardly companies.

Unless this apology is a meme, it has to be right? Right?

Everytime this happens I keep waiting for the company on blast to reply "it's a fucking joke." And that be the end of it.

 

[Samrf89]

why in the ever loving holy fuck would you apologize for this. holy fucking shit

 

[Bragr]

JESUS, they FIRED the guy making the tweet??????? and restructured the company????

How is it possible to be this fucking crazy.

Yes, people enjoy laughing at stupid shit on social media. That isn’t the same as using social media.

Does this really have to be explained to you?

 

[RoboFu]

I actually finally took a troll through tick too videos last night and not only was the joke true.. it gets far far worse.

People can’t get enough of social media (even the ones that cry here about it everyday), nothing to explain to me.

Dude is a low effort troll. Just put him on ignore.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

The joke isn't even original, I can only assume it was posted without supervisor approval, they saw it, and had a meltdown.

 

[Halo is Back]

It's kinda hard to escape twitter or twitter people when you use the internet. On news sites, on this forum, on reddit, the dumbest tweets always get shoved in your face.

When the politics section was still a thing, I couldn't tell you how many times people there shitted on Twitter and all its users. Then you flip over to the next page and the majority of news sources were post from Twitter. Hilarious.

 

[Fare thee well]

God, why did they apologize.

 

[Halo is Back]

Imagine talking like that guy and then calling other people cowards

I've seen my fair share of videos from him. He is most definitely a borderline Incel.

 

[balls of snow]

Fuck that and get a lazyboy.
