As many know I am a Twitch Streamer, and I have to know quite a lot of people over on Twitch, many of whom I happily call friends. Some of the equipment and software I use from my current PC and consoles to speakers, mouse, keyboard and game-pads to even some games was made possible because of them... so what I say does not come lightly.
This Wednesday night I will not be streaming as part of the #TwitchBlackout boycott in regards to how poorly Twitch has handled issues of racism, abuse, sexual harassment and rape. There have been victims, both male and female, that have been forthcoming with issues that dates back to at least two years ago, when those in charge said they want to be held accountable for failing to addresses these issues. Well now it's time, we're putting actions to words. The decision to take part was thanks to some of my audience helping me figure out what would be the best way to handle it. I could of course do a stream on YouTube or even here on Facebook, but a total blackout seems appropriate.
I will be streaming Tuesday night and then regular broadcasts will resume on Thursday evening.
