    People are too sensitive nowadays, but some people also take things too far with their insults

      Did you even listen to what was said? Insults are one thing but alluding to rape and then saying it’s not rape if the rapist enjoys it. Is on a whole different level of depravity.

        Did you even read what they wrote? “Some people go too far with their insults.” What you described is literally going too far.

          What was said wasn’t an insult. “Your momma…” are jokes, “you suck do bad…” are insults. Tbagging a dead body is an insult.

          Implying you are going to rape someone and then saying it’s not rape because you would enjoy it isn’t a typical “insult”.

          So yeah i read what they said. It just didn’t really apply to the situation.

            It may not be a typical insult, but it is still insulting. And if someone says that as an insult, that is going too far.

              No it is not. “I’m going to kick you” isn’t an insult, it’s a threat. Someone could try to make the case that it’s a “joke” but it isn’t an insult.

        In this video, you hear her say she’s not going to mute him for the content. She has the tools to solve the problem. But she chose not to use them.

        EDIT Also she deleted the full clip and video from her Twitch. Nothing funny going on here.

          Her saying she isn’t going to mute him doesn’t give him the go ahead to say the things he did.

          Could this be a publicity stunt? Sure. Does any of this make what he said ok? No

            This is a publicity stunt. All she had to do is to mute him. But she didn’t and made a tweet about it. Now she haves gaming journalists writing articles about her.

            EDIT She could have talked to Riot Games support without making the tweet. But she didn’t.

              How do you know? Getting publicity for this isn’t a bad thing, no matter how you try to make it out to be. Sit down.
