Twitch streamer Jason "JasonR" Ruchelski used to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professionally but has since moved to Valorant for competitive play. JasonR is known for playing Valorant on Twitch to a large community, but fellow Valorant fan and Twitch ambassador Annie Dro has taken to Twitter to express frustration with his choices. According to Dro, JasonR has avoided over fifty women by pretending his stream keeps crashing and instead of addressing the controversy, he continues to make excuses.
Ninja is one of the initial viral Twitch streamers as he's broken some records in his time on the platform, and he has also gone on the record to discuss his unwillingness to play games with women on stream. Rather than making excuses for his Twitch audience, Ninja has explained how prioritizing male teammates is in an effort to avoid any assumptions fans may have about him and other female streamers. It remains unclear if JasonR is dodging female Valorant players to avoid similar Twitch drama because he's happy with his girlfriend or if his intentions are more nefarious, as he hasn't addressed allegations made against him.
Dudes rock. :heated-gamer-moment:
You know what's funny? If he said he avoids playing with women because he doesn't want his viewers to harass them, that would actually be a plausible excuse.
Talking to women is scary so they avoid it.
I will confess that for a few particularly challenging parts of my own novels, I did consult living breathing women that were beta reading my work and I did make changes according to their lived experience quite a few times.
I'd like to think I'm getting better at writing outside of my own perspective but I still check myself before I wreck myself. /r/MenWritingWomen is one of the still-entertaining sides of :reddit-logo: for a reason.
I didn't "breasted boobily" at any point, but I did have some character motivation/direction moments that needed changing and I believe the changes made for more believable and better characters anyway.
The single worst piece of feedback I ever received was from a man in his 60s, a self-described "science fiction connoisseur," and his primary bit of feedback, besides complaining that my work was "too political" was that the protagonist (a teenage refugee girl that's been dumpster diving and evading cops for most of her adolescence) needed to have what he called an "inevitable shower scene" where "we know what she really looks like." :kombucha-disgust:
He didn't like that I didn't heed his advice, that I did put in a shower scene but specifically to spite him I made it about the sensation of being clean, refreshed, and lightened without describing her naked body and instead describing how she'd actually feel finally having a clean and safe environment for a change.
He was so petty that he went out of his way to make sure he left the first negative review, even identifying himself as "the" beta reader as if he was the only one. :grillman:
It would be even funnier if you put a sex scene in, but exclusively describe the guy's body and actions.
Officer, I can explain! I was only writing this incredibly detailed smut to own the perverts!
The hung hunk cocked floppily down the steps.
Yes Officer, I will turn myself in.

as a woman with big "unbothered. moisturized. in my lane" energy, i can't tell you enough how much i love this.
I'm very happy to know that. My work wasn't perfect and certainly needed womens' experience elsewhere in the rough drafts, but I'm glad I got that part right the first time.
I still remember reading a sci-fi novel (short story?) from a famous author (whose name I forgot, but he's one of those pre-70's sci-fi authors) and there were three characters in the introductory scene. I still have no idea why he felt it necessary to tell the audience about the woman's breasts; I know she has them, I really wasn't assuming otherwise.
I can't recall, but I do remember it was three of them on Mars and they were attempting to hide that they were there. I believe the people on Mars and (Earth?) were two separate factions in this story.
Oh, definitely not that. I think the author may have been Philip K Dick as for a while there I was really interested in his stories.
Gotcha. I read Rainbow Mars last year and was struck by how breastily the women boobed.
Got told by art teachers forever that I 'can't draw women'. Took me a long time to realize irs cause I draw people really really ugly, Ralph Steadman kinda ugly and not drawing women erotically weirded them out.
because he’s happy with his girlfriend
there is no eye roll big enough
He's a Wife Guy. The way Pence was a Wife Guy and wouldn't meet privately with any woman who wasn't his wife.
"they don't talk to me, so i'm not going to talk to them!"
or he's actually terrified he'll lose to a woman and feel more inferior than he already does.
Social media and random assholes streaming was a mistake. It just makes me realize how many people you'd have to :gulag: or ⚰️ in order to achieve any progress.
or he’s actually terrified he’ll lose to a woman and feel more inferior than he already does.
I have no idea who this guy is, and don't really care, but it's definitely this.
I think that is the deepest most primordial fear of Epic G*mers: losing to a woman. That's how irretrievably radioactive it all is.
Because their identity is tied up into being a G*mer so losing, especially to a woman, invalidates them as a person. That's why you never base who you are on the media you consooooooome.
“they don’t talk to me, so i’m not going to talk to them!”
or he’s actually terrified he’ll lose to a woman and feel more inferior than he already does.
You're forgetting the third option, the male supremacist option, which is the rhetoric I see the most from the gamers. It goes something like this: "Women don't have 'environmental awareness' and 'sensory adeptness' and are 'incapable of strategic thought' therefore I don't want them on my team!"
If I wanted to go full gender essentialist biotruths I'd say I'd rather have teammates that weren't likely to smash their own keyboards and scream bigoted slurs. :troll:
:geordi-yes: that's because you aren't a massive piece of shit
Women turn around and create their own communities for these games and men throw a fit over "misandry".
That was the brutal fate of /r/TwoXChromosomes. It let dudebros take over and the dudebros never left.
If you want to be instantly Jokerfied, go pretty much anywhere on :reddit-logo: , mention or talk about the systemic pay gap between men and women doing the same work, cultural hostility toward women trying to get STEM educations or get anywhere in STEM careers, or especially the ongoing atrocity of female genital mutilation, and watch how quickly the menz derail it.
Remember when :reddit-logo: said that the rates of women in STEM in the soviet union and post soviet states was because they were forced into it? :michael-laugh:
Wasn't that the NYT that claimed that? Or maybe The Economist, one of those rags.
I am 100% certain that that is a thing the Economist did and I have no evidence what so ever to back up my belief.
Yeah, maybe, I guess it was shared on reddit and made the rounds. Everything blurs together these days lol
The only reason that place was taken over is cuz stormfront made it a default when most of the users and the mods were heavily against it. If it was allowed to be its own space, then it could've actually become a half decent place for women there but stormfront just had to go and ruin it.
The top logical rational gentlesirs of :reddit-logo: invited themselves in the moment that the sub became a part of the front page. They were such zealous "devil's advocates" that they drove everyone else off.
I just went and checked for myself because I don't normally go to that sub. In every single post there are at least a couple "well, actually" and "to be fair..." dudes on the bottom.
And any reasonably popular post has at least one of these guys in the comments (but usually several)

I'm just wondering is it already sexual Harrasment even though he did not touch u? Sure what he did is not right but can u report him for that?

Mind your business. You're moralizing here. You know, what seems to be, very little of their relationship. He could be very supportive of her and a positive influence. Not every romantic relationship needs to be a 50/50 equal, contractual partnerships.
Meanwhile on :reddit-logo: if a feeemale does anything at all, especially if she is visible on camera while presenting something:
"WHAT AN ATTENTION SLUR THIS FEEEMALE MAKES IT ALL ABOUT HERSELF" :wojak-nooo:
Epic G*mer streamer culture is real and the more you look at it the worse it gets. :kombucha-disgust:

Lmao, surely he would know that this excuse would stop working eventually?
wdym, everyone knows that its common for professional gamers to have a pc that always crashes
