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:

    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.

          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.

          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.
