Twitch hot tub streamer hits out at QTCinderella for claiming she encourages sexism
Twitch’s xoAeriel has clapped back after fellow streaming sensation QTCinderella blamed hot tub streamers for encouraging sexism on the platform.
While Twitch is the go-to destination for video game streaming content, IRL and Just Chatting broadcasts have become a breakout hit on the Amazon-owned site, with some of its best clips emerging from the category. Whether it’ssaving tourists lost in Tokyoor setting a backyard ablaze by mistake, streamers in these categories have become stars. However, the category has also produced some more controversial streams. AsDexerto previously reported, QTCinderella blasted hot tub streamers for the amount of sexism on the site.
Now, one of the originators of hot tub streams, xoAeriel, is going on the offensive. In a new YouTube video, she explained why she does hot tub streams and if they really do encourage sexist comments. “While I agree with her to some extent, IE men oversexualizing the women on the platform and just overall being sexist, I don’t agree that we the females are to blame for this,” she argued.She then took issue with QTCinderella not wanting hot tub streams to be on Twitch at all. According to xoAeriel, she abides by all of the site’s terms of service. Even though she believes some creators have content that has “gone too far,” she doesn’t break any of the rules, herself.
“I started the hot tub stream meta. I was the first to do it. I knew what I was signing up for. I knew I was going to be a target for hate. But not from other female streamers,” she remarked. According to the streamer, she had “disgusting and violent threats” said to her while doing a hot tub stream, but they also happen when she’s just playing video games or cooking.
“And QTCinderella, if you’re really about the empowerment of women getting ‘bread’, then you won’t contribute to the continued gatekeeping of the community on Twitch,” she finished. So far, QTCinderella has yet to respond to the video, but given the criticisms, chances are she won’t take them lying down.
