This awful take from men who are angry about the change to Twitch's gambling policy has been very common over the past couple days but here we have a Twitter-verified member of FaZe Clan -- someone with a very large platform who often has thousands of live viewers on his streams -- attacking female streamers without even attempting to hide the blatant sexism.

Twitter is unlikely to do anything, as they rarely do anything about bigoted tweets.

FaZe Clan appears to be completely fine with their members using their platform to promote bigotry, as shown by roster member Virus making homophobic remarks and FaZe Clan ignoring it, despite calls for him to be dropped.

Will Twitch do something about it, given that one of their streamers is using his platform to attack other streamers? These platforms need to do better. Bigotry like this should result in immediate bans.

When called out on his language by a man, he of course jumps to, "Why defend women who won't have sex with you?"

And when a woman who streams for 100 Thieves calls him out on the misogyny, he disingenuously pretends he wasn't just talking about women (he was) and then goes after her, saying she "should be embarrassed."

Calling women whores to protect the kids.

Wonder if he protected kids from Faze's crypto scams and other predatory behavior.

There are TONS of completely well adjusted streamers who don't act like assholes. Let's not lump them all up because of shit stains like these.

I'm starting to think that there may not be a single good person associated with Faze Clan.

Pretty sure it's a requirement to be an asshole if you want to be in Faze. Only time I ever hear about them is one of their members does some shit like this.

Ignoring problems will not make them go away. When people who are verified on multiple social media platforms -- and who have a large audience of young people -- are using those platforms to spread bigotry, we need to shine lights on it.

If everyone had the "I'm tried of reading about this stuff, assholes gonna asshole" attitude, nothing would ever change. That's just an unfortunate and indisputable fact of life.

What an asshole.

Also, gambling streams do FAR more harm to young kids than boobs.

I think most people like him know this. However, they have an irrational hatred toward women and they believe this gives them an excuse to talk about it.

When I first heard the name FaZe clan many years ago I just got this feeling that its a group full of douchebags. Kinda amazing how accurate my assumptions were.

The reason why all those suckers are angry is because their success is rarely personal, but tied to a platform that very few of them can be independent of. Their popularity is alway stucked into another one : a popular game, a popular platform or an existing community that pushed them, while wh*res can please their audience alone and by themselves, contrary to those parasites.

I don't know any of these people caught up in this twitch drama, but as someone outside looking in, I'm getting gamergate 2.0 vibes. These dicks are going to start harassing women on twitch like mad once gambling is 100% gone.

I don't understand streaming and just can't fathom the appeal of esports/watching people play games/gamble/whatever, so I may be biased, but at this point I really think the whole Twitch platform does way more harm than good, is entirely unregulated except for what little Twitch themselves does, and should be shut down. I know this hurts the good streamers out there, of which I'm sure there are more of them than these kind, but giving a platform to these people and the lasting harm it is causing to kids (and easily influenced adults) is unfathomable. Of course, this won't happen, and I understand why, but I feel for everyone out there

The guy obviously doesn't actually care about the young kids or there supposedly being sexual content on Twitch. He's just a misogynist manchild lashing out at Twitch (and women) in anger in a pathetic attempt to cause them problems because they disallowed him or someone he knows from continuing to make money from dubious gambling stuff. Twitch needs to stop coddling these kinds of detrimental scumbags. Just get them out ASAP and allow less shitty people to take their spots. Feels like things always have to turn completely into shit before these platforms start removing it. Be a bit more pro-active please.

But to be fair Twitch did...or well I don't know for how long it's actually been a problem, but the time from when people started talking about the situation with the scammer gambler guy, until Twitch decided to shut things down, was actually very brisk. I suspect it was maybe something they'd already been thinking about for a bit.

Y'know, sometimes "The Internet was a mistake" really feels less and less like a joke.

It's enriched and emboldened some of the worst people in society, and their influence over others is downright frightening at times.

I only ever seem to hear about Faze Clan when they're being a clown parade. I don't even know what they do but I'm pretty sure the world doesn't need it.

Go it preordered at both gamestop and target. Want to cancel the gamestop preorder cuz i get the redcard discount with Target. Do I just go back to the Gamestop store with my preorder receipt and tell them to cancel or can you just cancel it online?
I bet you could just call up GameStop and tell them your receipt number/info and they can cancel it over the phone
