Hi everyone! I'm Mia; host, streamer, and emerging VA.
Have a project I'd be appropriate for?
Feel free to reach out! I'd be happy to audition.

Just a streamer having a completely normal reaction to…
*checks notes*
…being able to choose your pronouns in a highly detailed RPG character customisation screen.
Massive thank you to
@NintendoUK
for sending over a copy of
#PaperMario
: The Tousand Year Door and all these crafted goodies.
It took me 2 hours to build this battle stage, but gosh, darn, is it cute.
So cool.

I'm absolutely f'ing livid. Trans people are being murdered and yet the media is still biased against us.
The state will deadname and put the wrong gender on our death certificates like this poor girl.
She deserved better.
Let's do this again. 🧵
If you can't differentiate a communication tool (necessary for countless peoples daily jobs/income, plus organising and activism) from a videogame, then there's not much I can say to ya.
Let's talk about 'No ethical consumption under capitalism'!

Hey
@Twitch
GG on removing PogChamp.
If y'all could give us a
#Trans
tag so we can find other transgender creators that would make my 2021.
And all the people replying to this tweet agree.
1.4k replies.
98% of them supportive.
What I want you to take away from this;
Whenever you feel alone go scroll that thread. There are so many more supporting us, than those who hate us.
Y'all did amazing.
Trans Rights 💜
If you're noticing a lot of LGBTQIA+ & especially trans people, are depressed or stressed out lately. It's because we're tired and fearful.
In the UK, terfs want us dead. In the US, it's already happening out in the open.
It's pretty scary what's happening atm.
Omg I forgot to share this. The moment where Yoshi P came on stage pre-show to wield this cosplayers scythe.
He then proceeded to prove he has a gigantic heart and the cosplayer broke down crying with happiness. 😭💜
#FFXIVFanFest
Apparently, it's becoming trendy for vtubers to suddenly be openly "anti-sjw", translation: bigoted.
Honestly... good.
Show your true colours and see what happens. Just don't start crying when your audience is nothing but trolls, and no one decent wants to work with you. 😘
Be honest. Did you even know it was
#TransAwarenessWeek
?
No? Well now you are aware. Post your favourite trans creator in the replies! Let's spread some love, positivity, and raise the profiles of some fantastic casters!
Also, Oochan says:
I know it's a controversial topic, but pls be civil in the comments
Guys you have to accept it
She's British, it's been confirmed, get used to it
#GGST
"I hate that they censored my anime girls slightly! STOP CENSORSHIP! CENSORSHIP IS WRONG!"
*a few moments later*
"....but this censorship is okay, because it's stuff I don't like."
The nicest thing I can call this dude is a hypocrite.
It's
#TransAwarenessWeek
and you should be aware of how transphobic this hellscape of the UK has been this year. It's not been great.
So don't forget to
#SupportTransPeople
& Trans creators, because the rest of the industry certainly isn't.
Note. Cis streamers who promoted themselves as a 'safe space' for trans people after the fallout of the last few weeks.
You better do right by them.
It's pretty transparent that some of y'all saw an opportunity to grow your audience and jumped on it. Which is a yikes from me.
Don't expect civility from trans people mourning the loss of one of their community. Especially one so young with their whole life ahead of them, cut short by monsters.
We're not going to put up with any of your bullshit today. Kindly go fuck yourselves and leave us all alone.
Holy crap this blew up. Make sure to drop yo girl a follow for more of my opinions a lot of people seem to get unreasonably angry about.
Also, Free Palestine.
In regards to Twitter:
1. Elon didn't create this platform. He bought it and is actively losing money
2. This is one of the biggest communication tools in the world. The new public square
3. Artists use this platform for jobs
4. Trans people use this platform to organise

My favourite
#SpaceNinja
moment from
#TennoLive
was that opening cinematic. It was everything, and now all I want is a Warframe movie. Make it happen
@PlayWarframe
!
F*ck off. Seeing likes was literally a way of keeping people accountable.
Now the racists, bigots and homophobes have to actually open their mouths.
Which admittedly they inevitably do, but it was so much easier to spot bad actors when you could see likes.
X protects bigots.
No ethical consumption under capitalism means that we exist under a system that 'forces' us to make unethical choices.
Whether you have no other choice, are too poor to make an ethical choice or are forced into a situation where any choice is unethical.
8/?
PSA: Why do people say Wizard Game insted of HL?
TLDR People aren't scared of the name. They're aware that mentioning the name of the game will bring in harassment from transphobes using the twitter search function.
Asking marginalised people to leave this platform is asking to give up any form of input on any conversation that take place here as well as giving up livelihoods.
Which could be argued is ethically worse than using the tools of your oppressors to enact change.
3/?
No ethical consumption under capitalism isn't an excuse to make bad choices.
That video is filled with strawman arguments and false equivalencies. Let's break them down!
5/?
Streamer fans. Can we take a second to talk about 'going live' tweets?
Did you know that if you like / retweet a streamers going live tweet it makes the twitter algorithm show it on more people's timelines, even if you have few or no followers yourself.
It also makes you cool.
14/14
If you can live with making the decision to support a known bigot, then that's fine, but if painting people begging for help as 'moral puritans and bullies' to justify that choice then that's on you.
But don't pretend you're an ally.
12/?
The point is we do the best we can to make moral decisions in a world where that isn't possible.
There is no positive that comes from continuing to buy a videogame when the negatives have been explained you.
At the end of the day:
'Why aren't you boycotting Lego?'
Because right now this is the big HP project. I'm sure the next time a HP movie comes out we'll be having the same conversation again.
Plus no JK critical person does buy HP Lego. People buy Lego, but that doesn't support Rowling.
6/?
You can't still support Harry Potter projects and consider yourself an ally to trans people.
Choose.
"It is our choices, that show what we truly are..."
I wouldn't go to Wizarding World either, and encourage others not to.
Where this idea has come from that people are asking to boycott all WB games is beyond me.
You can support other projects a company puts out without supporting those linked with a bigot.
7/?
Pikamee graduating. Sad news.
Now "fans" want to bully ALL trans people for the actions of a small minority. Were they trans, ally's or troll accounts? We don't know.
Most people don't stand by death threats or bullying anyone, but that is the path they're choosing.
CW:
Twitter killed the thread I had prewrote, when I went to post and I'm not writing it all out again. So I'll just add a couple more tweets.
Thanks Twitter.

e.g. You don't want to support Nestle as a company because they are terrible. So you go out of your way to not buy their products. Even though everyone needs food to live.
You still might end up unknowingly buying a Nestle product, because of corporate monopolies.
11/?
e.g. the current system of government. You do not have a choice to exist outside of that system and work towards changing the system for the better, without losing the freedoms that would allow you to enact change.
You could refuse to pay your taxes, but get put in jail.
9/?
If you're an ally. Please talk about this.
Talk about the current climate for trans people in both the UK and the US.
We can shout about this all day, but we will never be able to reach the same people as you. Those who refuse to acknowledge there's even a problem.
Please.
I'm absolutely f'ing livid. Trans people are being murdered and yet the media is still biased against us.
The state will deadname and put the wrong gender on our death certificates like this poor girl.
She deserved better.
e.g. You live in poverty so can only afford to buy clothes from a cheap clothing store that uses sweat shops.
If a person can't afford more expensive clothes through poverty, they are forced to make an unethical choice.

#TransDayOfVisibility
. I've been transitioning for almost a decade at this point, and anti-trans sentiment has never been this bad.
We are here. We've always been here. We exist. And you're not getting rid of us that easily.
13/
It's always 'this is the wrong type of protest' or 'I'm justified in doing this because xyz'.
In these discussions, since you support trans people have you ever actually put forward ideas on how to properly enact change? To fight for trans rights?
No.
🔬 Starting today, we'll be testing automated mid-roll ads for some viewers. These ads will directly support the Creator and won't run if the viewer has had an ad break in that channel recently. Your feedback is welcomed to help shape this feature!

Hey, Trans Streamers.
Clear your schedule for the 23rd July, and reply below if you want to take part in something cool.
If you know any cool trans streamers, tag them. 🏳️⚧️
As a bi transwoman I strongly advocate for y'all ditching buying your rainbow merch from corporations and instead supporting actual LGBTQIA+ shop owners and creators this Pride Month.
Make LGBTQIA+ people the only ones
#ProfitingFromPride
🏳️🌈
There I go being petty again.
I'm still honestly pissed off by how unfair this whole thing is.
Cis people get to do whatever they want and play the victim, while trans people are having their rights stripped away, are misrepresented, and receive constant hate.
I'm so tired.
I stopped taking selfies of myself during the pandemic. Over time I've grown to hate how I look. There are still so many things that remind me of who I used to be.
But right now, I am Mia; Trans woman, and proud to be visible. Happy
#Pride
Right-wing conservatives who touted JK Rowling as the devil for putting witchcraft and sorcery in her books are now the ones celebrating her and parroting her transphobic views.
Think about that.
Okay, here goes...
Citation needed.
Without chat logs, most I can tell is that a streamer cried about chat arguing over JK.
That doesn't justify bullying comments. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but we're going on articles saying; 'this girl cried because of bullying'.
1/8
If the Wizard Game fiasco taught me anything. It's that many streamers aren't going to give a crap about this list. Even though supporting the strike is incredibly important.
Oh and look what's on the list.
Hi beans, if you're wondering which games in particular are affected by this here's a handy dandy tracking sheet. There's also a discord link for any questions. Let's be as supportive as we can!
Screw the people going after the trans community for the actions of one person.
If we went by their logic and rules. Every white cis guy would be locked up right now.
But that's not what we do, because it doesn't make a sense to condemn an entire group of people.
Grow up.

1/ This really reads like: "I value doing what I want, over the potential harm it can cause."
This whole idea that Twitch isn't a place for protest is the same as saying Twitch isn't a place for politics. People with huge audiences have influence over those audiences.
