Also OP, you should ask a mod to change the title thread since she didn't say ALL men are trash.

Razer Brazil just cut ties with a female influencer because she talked back to harassers [read threadmarks and see staff post before posting]
- Thread starter The Last One
- Start date
We try not to be, but sadly men are the most likely to be trash in this context.
Razer too, instead of condemning harassement, they go for the streamer. Shit company with shit products.
Hahahaha, yeah. How are people taking offense at this? How can we deny the average male gamer is toxic and sexist as fuck?
She's not saying every single one of us is trash.
Gabi's comments, translated
To better contextualize the thread, here's what I could gather from this:
Her original tweet (direct translation below):
"There will always be a fucking man to talk shit and sexualize women even when a woman is making a joke, right? That's why men are trash."
- "Gee, Gabi, you don't need to generalize either :("
- "Yes, I do. When we say this stuff, men say "hey, don't generalize, not all men" and on their FIRST opportunity, act like assholes towards a girl. Men that aren't TRASH are the exception, not the majority. We need to generalize so these sons of bitches wake up."
She apologized not long after these tweets, though, but she kept being harassed (of course). She and her family are receiving death threats, with people posting places she goes to on Chan.

Shouldn't be surprising that if you offend the customer base of a company sponsoring you, it's in their best interest to stop sponsoring you. I think she's entirely in the right here, but in capitalism the financial incentive to behave morally only matters to your bottom line insofar as it matters to your customers, and in the case of Razer I kinda doubt their base of 12-35 year old gamers is going to be particularly feminist.
And lol at anyone taking "personal offense" to anything she said.

I can't tell if those people taking offense to it are joking or not, and it doesn't seem like they're joking.
Sometimes Era isn't as different from the rest of the internet as you think.

Ok, mistakes happen.
People who harass people are trash. I'm OK.

you're wrong tho, All women are trash
now let's see who gets the ban hammer, come on mods, prove me wrong
Fuck Razer. I'm still not giving them my money even if they apologize.
I really hope Gabi is alright.

User banned (2 weeks): Rationalizing harassment.
I appreciate the clarification.
It's unfortunate, then, that she didn't address specifically those people instead of painting everyone with the same brush, resulting in an easily misconstrued condemnation. Yes, surprise surprise, your choice of words means a great deal in how your message is received.
Sometimes I wonder how it must feel to have such a brittle spirit that a comment like that gives you the urge to harras somone. Razer is weak as hell, wish I could boycott them, but their gear is trash, so I didn't buy their stuff anyway.
That's the source post for contextualization.

Exactly what she said is now translated and in context. People should read this before any hot take.
Do you have link to the apologies as well?To better contextualize the thread, here's what I could gather from this:

Must be nice to focus on that instead of the fact that she and her family are receiving death threats.
Usually when someone say a thing like this or lmao white people and so on I don't get offended. Why would I feel attacked if I know what they're referring to?
it's that easy.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory false equivalencies surrounding sexism, concern trolling in regards to harassment, modwhining
As a man I don't really care what some random person on twitter says about men.
But as a user of this forum I find really embarrasing the amount of hypocrisy and double standards in many of the replies here, even with mods on the thread.

How many girls go to Twitch to harass male streamers?
Can't want for somebody to compile a list of blatantly sexist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobe Razer's male influencers have said.

How you think you look like
What you actually look like
This is so bullshit. Stop being passive aggressive and just say what you want.
When I know what men have done in history to women, especially when challenged to you know, not be trash? Damn straight.
You can't be pissed and pull a #notallmen when a women faces harassment just because of her job, which incidentally happened to be entertaining these fragile fuckwits. The same fragile fuckwits who respond to being called trash with death threats.
Pulling the gamers has oppressed card unironically is also trash. Nothing here disproves her point. She's the victim here and yet we still have people going "but she's so mean!".
That attitude is also trash. Don't want the label? Tell another fellow man to not be trash every day until they stop.
One group of people faces daily harrasment and discrimination. The other doesn't. So, we can live with a bit of double standard. Also, context.
when you do a generalization you are not talking about every single one, you are talking about the group that is dominant or the message is destined to. when i say "men should stop being misogynists", there's men that are not, so its clear that i'm talking to a group of men, its pretty clear that she's saying that to men that harass women and its a big group of men.

You're sort of proving her point.
