I'm not at all against people donating because they have a personal stake in the cause; that's great and fine and fantastic. My concern is what was alluded to about people lying about losses in order to get their 20 seconds of internet fame, and the surprising number of people who have suffered losses in the last month week moments before or so that have been read on stream. And from a production standpoint, it's incredibly jarring to go from "Someone I love very much died from cancer, and it was a grievous loss" to some silly and happy video game, with no way to transition from one to the other.

Dude -- It's people giving money to a charity to fight a disease. There is no need to be alarmed.

also the vast majority of comments about someone they know having cancer are not of them even dying from it. i mean poo poo there are three people in my family who have had cancer, one of whom did die of it.

cancer is extremely common and i find it incredibly hard to believe that there are very many people at all who have not been affected by it.

This is true. But, you know, this is a recent thing. It wasn't that long ago -- 30-40 years maybe -- where cancer was the great undertaker, the incurable death sentence. There are references to cancer in papyri dating back to before Greek civilization. We didn't understand that cancer was a change in cell genetics until the 1900s. Up until the 1950s or so, if you had cancer of an internal organ, you likely didn't know about it until it had already metastasized and was inoperable, and you were probably going to die.

When you adjust for age, you're only 5% less likely to die of cancer today than you were in 1950. What's changed is that we detect it earlier, and you're more likely to go into remission until old age.

Twitch isn't stupid enough to shut down a charity stream this big for a single dude doing it, but it's something that they'll certainly get poo poo from twitch about it.

It's pretty amazing how quickly the energy left from this marathon. It was great for two games then boom, nothing. They really need to make better choices when it not only comes to game options, but with who commentates.

They should look into getting a dedicated set of casters who they know will commentate. Like dedicated expert casters instead of leaving it up to runners friends or random people who "promised" to watch some runs before hand.
You could have a group of 8 casters take two person 6 hour shifts to makes sure there's some decent commentary to keep people interested.

however it's still fuckin scary when you or someone you know is diagnosed with cancer, even curable cancer. my grandmother did survive and they knew she was likely going to from the start, but she also lost the ability to swallow food and needs to eat through a feeding tube now, just as an example.

The thing is with a week long continuous marathon you can't expect a small amount of commentators to be familiar with dozens of hours of runs. Having each run having a few people who were supposed to be very familiar with the game was a good idea to fix that as long as everyone was actually doing that; instead, we've got a guy who actually ran the game in the past but is super quiet, trihex, a dude holding bananas, and someone who I'm not sure spoke this entire time.

Okay so in other words nothing to do with that I'm talking about.

I'm not asking why it's against the rules (the sexual discrimination is a good reason), I'm just not buying the personal outrage of seeing a buff elf take up 1/20th of the screen.
