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
I agree for sure that at this point there is a lame performativeness and tackiness these days around most social media "ugh men are trash" statements
But the notion that it's offensive or whatever is a complete fucking embarrassment to Razer holy shit lmao
GOOD LORD at the beginning of this thread....how do people turn it into about themselves when a women is getting harassed online. She clearly wasn't talking about all men just those who constantly find chances to belittle women; if it aren't doing that then there's no reason to take offense: and as men we should call them out on it any chance we get! FOH with all this false equivalence bullshit.

"HEATED GAMING MOMENT, JUST TROLLING"
Female gamer gets harassed, calls men trash
"NOT ALL MEN"
Men are trash. Gamers are trash.

Interview with streamer in Portuguese (translated)
men are fragile as fuck.
the other day a girl shared a post on facebook where women shared their interactions with men that totally didnt know how menstruation works.
and the first two comments were men saying that "men shouldnt know everything about women!!" and "so you want feminist education?!!!"
i commented that those posts were weird as fuck and how menstrual cycles work was taught on elementary school or and one of them commented to me "chill bro you are going to fuck"
apart of being fragile as fuck, they think the only reason a man would be a feminist is to try to score chicks.

lol reading this thread and seeing so many fragile losers being banned has been such a delight. Like, when I read those comments I feel like I know who those people are; I've met them, talked/argued with them and it has always been clear they are indeed part of the problem. If you are offended by her comment then it's time to take a good long look in the mirror and think about how you interact with others, particularly women.
Fuck Razer and those fuckers who are threatening her. So brave doing that behind a computer in complete anonymity. Fucking cowards.
Also, why men can't be decent people? Why post something like that? It is disgusting. Lowlife scumbags.

Holy shit. Reading this makes me angry and frustrated. Men are trash, indeed. Fucking incels and misogynistic creeps who believe women belong to them.
The male fragility on display at the beginning of this thread was fucking yikes. As a white male gamer, I am the trifecta of trash. But, I also recognize nuance and context. I don't recognize myself personally as trash, but I fully understand the sentiment and what she was attempting to communicate.
Am I surprised by Razer? No, the company is trash and their products are horrible. Glad I haven't supported them. The male fragility in this thread is also something, the same type of folks who love to say "keep politics out of gaming" or "stop getting offended at everything", those straight males all of a sudden get up in arms when something like this happens and people comment on how terrible men and the gaming community can be.
It's astounding.
It's astounding.
For them free speech only exists if some dude is screaming the n or the f word on a stream. Trans people wanting more representation? A woman complaining about misogynistic shit directed at her? "Why everything has to be so political??"
i followed this as it happened....gaming comunity in Brazil (ok, brazilian society, in general) is really machist and can't really figure these things out or even live with strong female opinions. All of her streams / chats / threads had some kind of machist offensive comment by ignorant men, and this surely would make anyone really angry. After she made that claim, right -wing gaming community started to bash her out on twitter and overall comunities and anyone who would support her until Razer Brazil made that really stupid statement and cutting ties with her.
I didn't know this influencer before this, and I'm not likely to follow her from now on, but this was one of the most stupid reactions by gamers that I have ever seen and made me feel ashamed to be considered a gamer (or to connect with other gamers) in Brazil. All of the comunities I'm part of (or that I'm aware of) are flooded with gifs and jokes of this woman, continuing to bash her

well, that's a picture of gaming comunity in Brazil, sorryHas this been posted yet?
I read a comment on this that a true woman would never do something like this.....this is what we can expect to be some people opinion on gender and society,....
disgustingHas this been posted yet?
translation:
RAZER: "Welcome to the family"
Lucas Teles: "Ugly woman is like a cookie that fell on the floor... if no one notice it, you can eat! Good afternoon!"
But where are those people crying about the disrespect they suffered when a woman "dares" to call out men? Suddenly they disappear.Has this been posted yet?

Wtf....
I can't imagine a guy like this representing a brand. Seriously..... I have no words.
Razor... you are a trash too. Congratulations on being worse than I thought.
User banned (permanent): victim blaming, trolling the community, modwhining, recent previous ban for homophobic concern trolling
lol, look, she's the one that created that environment and when people joked back she got offended? I mean just look at her apology. She says she tells them she's horny all the time and call them bulls because they have horns. She also said something about "riding chat" or posted a picture of her riding a bull saying the bull was chat, forget. So what do you expect? People joking back saying that they're the bull and she can ride anytime, in which she implied in her joke. I don't see why she would then be offended and lash out like that.
This is why that Etika thing happened. I don't like your opinion, ban. I don't like your opinion, ban. Wasn't that one of the things wrong with GAF back then? I mean before that incident. Me, I treat everyone equally. Her, her fans and Razor are all trash. They all got equal parts in that situation so I could care less. Man, I just got back from my two weeks vacation too just for stating a fact. D'ah well.

Should probably point out to non brazilian folks that "eat" is a slang meaning "fuck" in this context.
Sometimes it's really frustrating trying to educate folks about basic bodily functions people with vaginas go through. Either they think they know better and just repeat myths, misinformation, and other bullcrap from misogynistic sources. Or they pull stuff like you encountered, where they act like bothering to know anything about what half the population goes through is pointless unless you're a feminist or trying to get laid.
She made a joke. That does not mean she was inviting harassment.
She also has gone on record to say how she is constantly the subject of sexualization and crass jokes. Her apology is a byproduct of losing her contract and being harassed and receiving death threats all over the internet.
You wouldn't have to worry about a ban if you at least took the time to read all of the situation.
That thing about being horny got lost totally in translation.
The term "chifrudo" used in the interview, which can be translated into something WITH HORNS or horny is about a person who has being cheated. A lot of horns means that person got cheated several times. It's a local slang.
The joke image is that she is sitting on something with horns(a bull), something that got cheated just like her. That's the joke post. And people got to the point that she should sitt in someones lap and several types of harassment instead of the bull.
A horny person it's not about being excited in this case. It's a person with horns from being cheated.
AND, just for reminders, if she said, in any case, that she's horny as excited IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN HARASS HER.
Kind of curious why the other female streamer felt the need to dig all of this up. From the looks of it, nobody gave much of a crap about being offended by it when it happened, nobody else cared enough to even remember; yet now people are acting like she stabbed them in the face?
Weird shit here. Not sure why she apologized, wasn't really needed if you're being harassed.

I love that this has to constantly be pointed out to people like anything condones harassment.
I think this was extremely common imagery throughout Europe at one point but died out in the anglosphere maybe a couple hundred years ago.
The major problem is that she is very thrashy when talking on stream and such and attract some garbage guys, it's her style tho, the guy tho just proved her point anyway.
Razer welcomed other guy that makes very non appropriate jokes about girls
I don't know how to upload pictures but one of the jokes are "ugly woman is like raining is good indoors but going outside yaaakies"

I did a quick re-translation of the interview, since it was bothering me and what she says is quite important:
Yeah, it still is a common expression in Portuguese/Spanish.

I know this guy got banned already, but wtf blaming Etika's suicide on situations like this.
Sorry for the double post, but a new (honestly quite hilarious) wrinkle to the story.
Meet Ayu, a right wing pandering youtuber that jumped on the Gabi Catuzzo story.
This is basically the tweet that started the whole thing. She tagged Razer and posted images of Cattuzzo's "men are trash" post, asking if this is the kind of brand ambassador they want. Notice that her twitter tag, "Femi-mi-mismo", is a pun on Feminism and "mimimi", the sound of a baby crying, used to call someone a snowflake in Brazil.
Then this happened today:
The video in question? One where she rants about how white people suffer from racism and that black people don't anymore.
All I can say is that life comes at you fast sometimes.

"I just had a contract cancelled because of a viral video taken out of context.
They understand that it was taken out of context, but believe it can taint their project's brand, like it's tainting mine.
I just missed an amazing opportunity because of a lie."

Has there been a statement from Razer Brasil on this case? (or did anyone request one?).
Sorry if my post goes against what the staff post says, a mod can just delete my post if thats the case. I'm just wondering, why would being against negative generalization in this case be a problem? Doing so, this doesnt mean that people are for harassment or anything like that at all. Or is the issue more about that saying something like "it doesnt apply to everyone" can be viewed as something obvious that doesnt really need to be said, and it can look like this takes focus away from the main issue like the harassment? If so, i can see that point of view. I dont think it necessarily have to take away from the main issue, but if it does, then thats not good of course. In this case, the woman mentioned in the OP even clearified that she didnt mean everyone, and apparently even apologized for it, so its clear that she didnt mean everyone (in case that wasnt clear enough to begin with). Really shitty that she has to go through all those attacks :( Even if people disagree with something, its possible to be respectful about it.

At least something good came out of this. What company did she have a contract with? I'd love to see her bad reasoning for how whites suffer more racism than black people.

Oh fuck, I watched that video and it did not come across as a parody. I wouldn't be surprised if she truly felt that way.
