Twitch streamer PlayWithJambo felt compelled to stand up for fellow females streamers, backing them on their fashion choices and putting one of her viewers in his place following what he thought should have gone across as a compliment.
Female streamers have long been the subject of criticism for what they choose to wear while they entertain fans, with some claiming that they wear certain types of clothing simply to attract viewers.
As a direct result, certain streamers are commended for wearing lots of clothing, which is, in essence, a disparaging remark given that it puts down other streamers who feel like they don’t have to be all covered up if they don’t want to be.
That was exactly the case for Jambo this week, with a viewer commenting: “Thank you for not being basically naked to speak your mind” on the back of an expletive. The statement left the streamer pretty incensed.
“If I wanted to wear a tank top and flash my tiddies all over Twitch, I would do it and I wouldn’t need your approval to do so,” she shot back.
The viewer told her it was meant as a compliment but she wasn’t prepared to accept a “compliment” of that variety. You could listen to her retort below:
The clip has since gone viral.
“The first thought I had was ‘are we really doing this at 11:30am on a Monday?’ and yes, indeed, we were.” she later told Dot Esports. “It’s frustrating to see, but I’m not so much worried about it being said to me, I’m worried about the impact it will have on the community. I never want someone to feel uncomfortable when they’re in my stream, lurking or otherwise, and I hold myself and the community to the same standards. If you can’t be respectful, you can’t be here.”
Jambo explained that she has seen what she believes to be plain sexism in her chat before and expects it to happen again. She feels like it should be addressed every time.
“A lot of people believe that you shouldn’t give attention to internet trolls but I disagree,” she declared. “No one in chat should feel that a comment like that goes unnoticed or unaddressed.”
She also claimed to be “blown away” by the support she’s received since putting the viewer on blast.
“I love empowering other women, and I think it’s incredible that so many have seen and shared and felt good from it,” she added. “I look up to so many who have seen and spoke on this with me, and I’m blown away.”
