I urge you to read this, ESPECIALLY if you’re white. Don’t just support black streamers because they’re a trending topic. They’ve always been putting in the work. They’ve always been blessing us with their talent. Support them because of their excellence.
Black streamers are grateful for new Twitch viewers, but heartbroken it took police violence to make it happen:

Sorry RDJ, you don’t get to “demonstrate positivity” while also defending acts of homophobia . Chris Pratt using his platform to advocate for his homophobic church is a HUGE problem, and defending that makes you part of the problem

Since it feels like some of y’all are willfully missing the point…. - you don’t have to go out and have sex with a trans man right now to get your gay card.- The point here is that trans men are men, not some lesser category of man to be attracted to.

- we’re also not going to reduce sex/trans people to simply genitalia. I thought we already had that conversation . Lastly, there are a WILD amount of trans men out there that are hot as hell. If you’re suddenly not attracted to them because they’re trans, THAT’S transphobic.

As a gay Twitch streamer, a lot of people ask me whether or not straight allies should be allowed to use the LGBTQIA+ tag for their channel as a "safe space" indicator. I have too many thoughts about it to put in just one tweet, so here's a thread on how I feel about it:.

Monetary support for creators is great, but if you can’t support that way, liking, sharing, and commenting on their creations is SO IMPORTANT. Social media algorithms thrive off of engagement, so if you want to give support for free, engage with their content! It helps SO MUCH.

If someone doesn’t want to be called “dude” because it makes them feel uncomfy about their gender, just respect that!. Whether or not you PERSONALLY believe it’s gendered, it can cause gender dysphoria, and that’s enough of a reason to respect people who ask not to call them dude.

Hey @NICKMERCS, do you like when your fans DM random strangers to say bigoted things to them in defense of YOU? . Because THIS is what your tweet about the LGBTQ+ community has instigated
If you’re so angry about queer people to the point of DMing a stranger just to say how much you don’t approve of them, I think it’s time to get down to the bottom of why you’re letting people who have NOTHING to do with you fill you with anger to the point of harassing others.

“So what, I just can’t like Harry Potter anymore??”. No, whether or not you enjoy Harry Potter is not the issue. The issue is that if you’re continuing to monetarily support the series/JK Rowling, you’re enabling her to continue harming trans folk. That’s the unfortunate impact.
