Comments by "Crazy Eyes" (@CrizzyEyes) on "Pokimane Sued By Ninja" video.

@AshyVEVO The reason most people don't care is because the sexist insults shown in the video are perpetuated by fanatic losers who are looking to get a rise by any means possible. They're using gender and sex as an angle of attack specifically because everyone thinks it's bad. Creating awareness about it does nothing because those specific people aren't going to change. It becomes tedious to talk about something everyone else seems to understand already as if it's brave or groundbreaking.

I disagree because there are plenty of people who insult Ninja or any other popular streamer on a regular basis, even make death threats. Rabid fans are everywhere. The only reason they seem sexist is because they claw at any angle to try and insult the perceived "enemy." Gender just happens to be one of those angles. It might be race too, or anything else they think might personally offend them. An example of a sexist insult used against any male streamer might be "small dick," "low T," "beta bitch" etc. Don't feel sorry for female streamers, they're already afforded a lot of leeway on the rules by Twitch moderation.

@AshyVEVO Is it meaningfully different? For example if I'm a male streamer and I get called "needle dick" or "cuck" is that really appreciably different from a female streamer being called a "whore?" I find the claim in the video that Pokimane would have been destroyed had Ninja and her roles been reversed suspect. Ninja is already getting kinda destroyed here. Most people from the US know that defamation is a joke. Even this video is destroying Ninja. I don't think the flavor of insults that losers fling at you on social media is a meaningful difference. They would reach for the lowest insult possible regardless of what policies you use, and they would invent new words to get around any filters you'd set up. Furthermore we're talking about people who are richer and more influential than 90% at least of the people in the country. I find it hard to be sympathetic towards them in the first place.

@clocked0 It's not malicious intent, not the way the court sees it. You have to prove that they lied with intent to defame, and not that they didn't just make a mistake. It's virtually impossible in the US.

@CypressDahlia Huh, it's almost as if not everyone who plays video games has the same moral or political opinions. Who'd have thought?

@perpetual_suffering1458 You ever heard the old adage "Behind every great man is a great wife?" It means that even when you never know a man's wife for anything other than "being his wife," she's doing a lot behind the scenes. This definitely applies here given her role. Depending on the personality type, she might find it a good opportunity to exert control and do whatever she wants, because Ninja is going to be the one taking the brunt of any criticism.

@SomeYouTubeTraveler I think they're absolutely everywhere, but not in the way that your typical radical revolutionary does. It's an evolutionary psychology mechanism we can't escape. Same reason you love your family more than other people, but on a smaller scale. People are disposed to like people who are genetically similar to them more because it helps pass on their genes. The solution isn't to pay penance like some sort of medieval flagellant during the black plague because then you'll just be differently racist or sexist.
