Gabriela Cattuzzo, a streamer who primarily broadcasts on Facebook from Brazil, has been dropped from gaming peripheral maker Razer's influencer program after she tweeted that "men are trash," which Razer Brazil said counted as "Extremism."
Dropped for speaking the truth.
“Getting rid of a woman for speaking out against the gross gamer bro dudes who make sexual remarks toward her” is pretty much exactly the Gamer Stereotype, Razer.
2014 has been the longest fucking year.
It’s always nice when a company so clearly demonstrates that you shouldn’t give them money.
This just makes me want to look into who else Razer sponsors. If something as vanilla as “men are trash” is considered “intolerance and extremism” then they must all be pure, innocent choir boys.
There are two other streamers.
One is Gigante Richard who said he’s a Bolsonaro supporter, and “has a lot of difficult opinions” and basically said he disagreed with her opinion, but wouldn’t join the harassers. And that he defends Razer because they never censored him:
The other is Netenho who said he wasn’t going to say anything about it and is going to stay out of the controversy, keep his head down and do the work
So yeah, men are trash
I wish Razer would have demonstrated their politics before I bought a new mouse from them.
I mean, just look at the design of their products: so edgy.
True Gamers let themselves be keylogged for resale to whoever Razer wants for whatever reason
Probably selling our passwords to
The feds so they can read our posts.
“Men are trash is hate speech” says trash men at trash company as they do things to women that are trash.
This is an incredibly common tactic against marginalized folk on and off Twitter. Push their buttons too far while mass reporting either talk backs or any out of context tweets that can be found.
And as Hache points out this has been in use since GamerGate (and probably before to varying degrees). Companies that fall for this shit were terrible then, as they are now. No surprise when it comes to a GamerTM brand as Razer, but the same shit has made Nintendo fire harassed employees. It’s inexcusable.
