Lol it turns out that noted harassment victim Zoe Quinn has been caught orchestrating a harassment campaign against Candace Owens, notable for a failed kickstarter for an anti-harassment network, which actually would have caused harassment.

Some twitch streamer employee of Hi-Rez started berating a person who donated to his twitch stream while commenting that he started watching the stream shortly after having attempted suicide and being released from psych care, and that the stream/game were a positive outlet for him.

I can't believe he went nuclear on a donor, someone who had literally just given him money for the act of streaming video games. If it were a troll in his chat, that'd be one thing, but he goes off on a fan and a donor!

Dude...

The TL;DR; is that his sister was murdered(which is horrible) but he then goes off on this huge rant about how she screamed all the time and had behavioral problems so when she was murdered all of their neighbors were secretly grateful (blah blah blah). So he's clearly had it worse than anyone else and he doesn't want to have to worry about someone else's depression because that just makes him feel bad, and really suicidal people should be more thoughtful about his feelings.

quote:

But the other day someone had said to me the contemplated suicide. Honestly, I didn't even see the full message, just that I in some way helped. I can't deal with that, honestly. What if in a year that person kills themselves? Am I then responsible for not being engaging enough to keep them interested?

I've asked a few times on my stream that people not donate with those messages. I don't want that on my conscience. And it all comes full circle, back to my mother. That's why I want to see you keep fighting. It may seem like all is lost and everyone around you sees you as a burden, but it's not true. You truly will never know how much you mean to someone until you're not around.

Should have searched for "apologize"

quote:

The first thing I did after I saw my mistake was email the person who wanted to celebrate their life through that donation and I apologized.

quote:

I seriously can not apologize enough for it, and I feel terrible.

It's worth reading the whole thing to see why he had that kind of reaction. (Not saying he was right to blow up like that, only that it's a little more understandable why it happened.)
