@tropesage: “I want to make clear the issue I’m addressing is online harassment, and my attempt to minimize it from our life.”

@desertdan42: Well said.

@bisonhero: If you think that’s the worst of it you’ve underestimated the internet. A classic mistake.

I’d suggest looking up @dexbonus thoughts on the subject. A female streamer who has been there. Here are some excerpts. Spoiler, she doesn’t blame Ninja.

“When Sam and I got together, some of my viewers harassed not only him but his mother and sisters. I remember sobbing on a plane because I felt so terrible for the way he and his loved ones were being treated.”

“Someone hired a PI to find evidence he was cheating, someone else found porn star lookalikes and sent me videos of them. He received countless emails about what a scumbag he was and how he shouldn’t be with me. This continued for the first two years we were together.”

“So maybe it’s because of this that this issue doesn’t read to me as “he won’t stand up for m/f friendships” but instead “he’s accepted that harassment is part of his life and wants less of it” and I can’t help but feel for him and the family he’s trying to protect”

@tropesage: I haven’t gone deep into their social media but I’ve never seen them post pictures of wives/girlfriends. Or identify then in any way. How could they be harassed, no one knows who they are?

They are smart enough to keep their wives/girlfriends anonymous. That’s how they are protecting them.

Ninja doesn’t have that option. I’m guessing if he did he wouldn’t have a problem streaming with other women either.

Yeah cmon ninja just fix internet toxicity already. Whatcha waiting for? F your marriage, it’s your responsibility.

I look forward to the beastcasts extra life streams with their significant others. Odd that they haven’t done that already. It almost like they are protecting them from internet toxicity....

And I thought the regular bombcast was judgy, wow.

I surprised that some of the crew would be judgy about Ninjas stance. Most of them don't stream with their girlfriends or wives, aside from Jason. Not exactly apples to apples, but they are making a personal choice about streaming affecting their relationships, just like Ninja.
