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.

2. This would apparently be "illegal in social countries with better regulation." 3. Streamers are apparently "helping tech business churn & burn, and that is causing a downturn in wages." For game developers... somehow? 4. "Ain't no such thing as free money, girl."pic.twitter.com/47pilJx8Md

5. By streaming occasionally & earning a few beers' worth of $$/month, playing my fav game for an audience of about 12 people, I'm apparently shooting myself in the foot professionally. "In the long game". "Holistically". "I'm "contributing to the machine that's eating my job."

6. Oh and I apparently can't say I'm hanging with mates and playing games, because I'm earning money. "Coercion does what coercion does." (Yeah not even I understand this one tbh...)pic.twitter.com/hGZzDHfPTV

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.1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 33 polubionePokaż 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/OLXFQxocE49 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 67 polubionychPokaż ten wątek -

Amazing. I can look at any one of his posts and find something idiotic about it. :v That's not how the relationship between workplace laws and the gig economy works! Streamers *can't* contribute to dev turnover rates! What the fuck does "coercion does what coercion does" mean?!

Every time I looked at my phone I was surprised at how he managed to surprise me yet again with even *more* asininity!
Such talent!

I've had internet versus debates less insipid and tiresome. Books (plural) have been written to win those things. :o
