Today I had a guy (a body piercer, who apparently reads Kotaku occasionally) explain to me (a professional gamedev with 4.5 yrs AAA experience): 1. Streamers are bad for the games industry & are responsible for the "workplace displacement" that he reckons is happening in games.

There was so much more - the regular sprinkling of negging, him calling me "girl" every 20 min, as well as life crisis advice from somebody younger than me - but I think I'll leave it here, as I suspect you've gotten the general idea...pic.twitter.com/DBeDny1vtp

I took some time to process and then responded with possibly the longest, most beautiful smackdown I have ever written (with a little help from my friends
ofc) explaining just how absurd his statements were and why.
Needless to say, he got upset & blocked me almost instantly.Pokaż ten wątek -
Gotta love the guys who have no problems insulting your job, your hobbies and your peers - but when you turn around and point out the flaws in their arguments and why they're wrong, they get upset because somehow you're the one making it personal.pic.twitter.com/GZt5ZpJxKF

I told him I don't enjoy having my own industry mansplained at me by a guy who clearly doesn't know the first thing about neither game development nor streaming. He then proceeded to display a delightful lack of self awareness and called me a "condescending asshole".

I'm sorry, buddy, that I didn't think you were Very Clever
and that I wasn't impressed at all of your Big Words
.
Thank you for giving my friends and I something to laugh at this morning though!pic.twitter.com/OLXFQxocE4Pokaż ten wątek

Totally. But also, they're so disjointed? Like... His arguments don't even make sense?

More like during 8 to 14, from a total of 20 something, before I'd had enough...
