When I think about it, top streamers in the upper echelon of streaming and their fandoms, are essentially like regular toxic celebrity stan culture, but with added chuddery, and with the celeb in question being a participant in all of it :kombucha-disgust:

Not surprising, considering esports celebrities used to be regular members of various gaming communities before they became successful, and gaming communities in general have always had a problem with reactionary elements. About 15+ years ago, I used to play a few games competitively, and people casually throwing slurs at each other was a common occurrence. Even your average lib of the era wouldn't hesitate to throw in a slur from time to time.

Hah, I remember that notorious Daikatana ad. Surprisingly enough, John Romero has turned out to be alright, and is even an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community now. Unlike many other '90s 'rockstar' game developers, he seems like a decent person. The same can't be said for his former colleague John Carmack, who calls himself a libertarian (lol), and hangs out with typical chuds. That seems to be a common thing among many old school developers.
