therapists cost money and loved ones tend to either be outright hostile to your existence if you're LGBTQIA+ or too far away due to the normalization of moving away from family.
the fact that decent mental health resources are inaccessible to a section of the population is awful and is a systemic problem. The streamer is just an individual. I'm just repeating the parent comment now because they said it so well, but taking responsibility for people's emotional wellbeing should not be a precondition for streaming
i never said they had to. just don't use the term 'trauma dumping' and don't villainize people who are suffering. and i dont give a fuck about the 11 minutes of discomfort some random streamer goes through. i go through 24 fucking hours of discomfort.
if you view someone begging for help as an obligation then that's your issue. everyone should treat public chats like streets. if you see a beggar on a street, you don't attack the beggar for "poverty dumping". and i hate to fucking say it but unless you're also a beggar and they're trying to screw you over somehow you're not being "hurt" by them at all. sure, their presence might make you uncomfortable, and that's valid because poverty is a terrible thing, but it isn't the fucking beggar's fault. it isn't the mentally ill's responsibility to make you feel comfortable about the world.
maybe loved ones, preferably therapists

the way I see it, this statement implies that streamers have an obligation, or at least an expectation to do emotional labor
The article doesn't use the term 'trauma dumping' in a derogatory way, nor does it encourage villainizing people who are suffering.
