Why do they have such vitriol towards nearly every streamer? I don't remember oldgaf being that angry at every streamer.
Streamers tell jokes. ERA doesn't like jokes.
While there is a lot of autistic and socially inept streamers out there, most with some success have it because they have fun, try to enjoy life and in return get an audience.
People who are constantly moaning, sad, depressed, hateful and resent the hobby they claim to be part of are not going to get an audience.
So it's usually a mixture of insane jealousy mixed with wrong-think conditioning that suggests words are violence, jokes are haram and everyone must be a boring NPC.
There's plently of lolcow streamers and even successful streamers who do dumb shit to laugh at, but Resetera is obsessed with hating anyone who can have fun in life. Life is supposed to be torture 24/7 and these people cannot stand it if anyone else doesn't portray this.
Even Etika was literally Hitler until he died and the lunatics caused a scandal for Resetera because he was a wrong-think dude who had fun. Probably a lolcow due to his mental illness getting the better of him, but one thing you cannot take away from him is he had some fun and was rewarded with money because others had fun watching him. You gotta respect that in this life, because having fun and enjoying time is all that is rewarding.
Being an unhinged sociopath like most of Resetera will never reward you in life. Neither financially or with other people enjoying being around you. Well, sometimes financially you can get beta bux by lying and being a cunt, but even Anita Sarkeesian's snake oil has now dried up. She went woke and has now gone broke.
