🐱 Twitch Streamer JasonR Accused of Faking Stream Crashes to Avoid Playing Valorant With Women

Members of the Twitch community accuse livestreamer Jason 'JasonR' Ruchelski of faking stream crashes in order to avoid playing Valorant with women.
Popular Twitch streamers often find themselves embroiled in controversy as their audience calls them out on content they don't enjoy, drama between streamers, or specific decisions made live on stream. One Twitch content creator is currently being accused of faking stream crashes in order to avoid playing Valorant with women for mysterious reasons.

Twitch streamer Jason "JasonR" Ruchelski used to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensiveprofessionally but has since moved to Valorant for competitive play. JasonR is known for playing Valorant on Twitch to a large community, but fellow Valorant fan and Twitch ambassador Annie Dro has taken to Twitter to express frustration with his choices. According to Dro, JasonR has avoided over fifty women by pretending his stream keeps crashing and instead of addressing the controversy, he continues to make excuses.

JasonR has repeatedly stated live on stream that he didn't hear anyone in the lobbies he entered before being booted from the game, inferring that he was unaware of who was in the lobbies prior to his regular crashes. "It's true, my game crashed, my internet crashed, my stream crashed," said JasonR amid several expletives during a recent Twitch stream. He continued to express that he didn't hear a woman in the lobby and suggested that his downtime is unrelated to Valorant, CS: GO, or Overwatch team composition.

According to several female Valorant players, JasonR will mute them the times that he doesn't disconnect to avoid playing with them, suggesting that he's trying to avoid the gender altogether while livestreaming. JasonR maintains a Twitch following of around 900,000 fans and some have noticed the Valorant player leaving lobbies with women or muting them since 2018. Back then, JasonR and his girlfriend allegedly banned subscribers with obviously female Twitch names, though these claims remain heavily disputed by the livestreamer.

Multiple clips have recently arisen that seem to show JasonR faking stream crashes to dodge female Valorant players, while some other excuses from the livestreamer fall even flatter. One JasonR fan has pointed out that he was enthusiastically doing Valorant 10-man matches with fellow Twitch streamer Tarik until Stefanie from Dignitas showed up. At this point, JasonR apparently left the match and claimed that 10-man games are dumb and that ranked ladders in Valorant are better and more entertaining, to the chagrin of some fans enjoying the 10-man content.

Ninja is one of the initial viral Twitch streamers as he's broken some records in his time on the platform, and he has also gone on the record to discuss his unwillingness to play games with women on stream. Rather than making excuses for his Twitch audience, Ninja has explained how prioritizing male teammates is in an effort to avoid any assumptions fans may have about him and other female streamers. It remains unclear if JasonR is dodging female Valorant players to avoid similar Twitch drama because he's happy with his girlfriend or if his intentions are more nefarious, as he hasn't addressed allegations made against him.

Anyone who watches the stream knows Jason regularly has his wife (who is lovely) on mic with him when they play together. This is likely just about annoying teammates but no of course we have to make it about muh sexism.

And he's not wrong.

Whipped! As the article notes, Ninja's willing to own it. This guy is pulling DSP type shit to avoid being called a bigot or whatever. Just own it dude.

If Jason wants to be more authentic about it; if he has any technical skill he can rig up (or pay someone, like me) an honest to God lag switch. But instead of using it to simulate lag, can flip it to cut connection and let the the game time out. Come on dude, at least put some effort into your lies.

Having a female join your gaming circle, be it an MMO guild or a D&D group, it's just a matter of time before things turn sour.

seriously why i don’t play games as much as i used and why it’s exclusively paradox games by myself when i do.

 

[derpherp2]

I think it's one thing with online gaming where the most you're interacting with another person, male or female, is through voice chat.

But in person? The disruption that a woman can bring to a group of men who aren't vigilant enough to resist the urge to compete against each other for her attention is real. I think that's only stymied if the woman's already taken, or there are multiple women and none of them stand out (but then, gaming is starkly male-dominated). I don't think that was ever not the case, at least I don't think it could be-- that's just how male/female dynamics are.

Nah it's not that. Like someone else said - shittalking is a metastrat, and women have ruined games for less. Much less gamers.

I'm not familiar with the streamer or the outlet, how likely is it that the women are troons?

Because if they're troons, I wouldn't want to play with them either. If I randomly match with you and realize you're a troon, then you've clearly made it more important than the game itself and we're going to lose. Not to mention they'll probably get me banned for opening my mouth.

If they're actual woman though... Eh, I don't know the game or the community, I'll withhold judgment.

Yeah that was my question. Is he actually ignoring females, or is he excluding troons, and this troon is just trying to corner him by the typical troon attempt to elide the difference and force him to admit its troons he’s avoiding?

The game in question (Valorant) is a CS:GO clone made by Riot Games, so I'd say it's not unlikely.

ETA: Dodging bad teammates is a common strategy for avoiding losses. I suspect that's all that's going on here.

Yea. I bet its just good ol' not looking at other girls while missus is watchin

I bet his girlfriend gets upset if he plays with girls if the “ban femalesounding twitch names in chat “is true.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

You must nevah respect a woman!

 

[Megatardingo]

Don't even know why but this is funny as fuck to me

The fact he is pretending to have computer issues to not be around women instead of just saying "nah am good" like a normal human being. It's like those comedies where they try to fix a wrong with a retarded plan rather than the logical normal thing to do in that scenario.

Your local autist helps you understand humor, you're welcome.

Valorant fangirls are likely just as cantankerous and vile as Overwatch fangirls.

Since this is a regular practice with other streamers I'm leaning towards it being anyone that seems like a woman or troon. It's too routine for the women and troons to start up drama for one reason or another in order to try getting more attention/fame, So streamers would be safest to only interact with guys that have a bro-vibe, since if they get embroiled in controversy for any reason whatsoever it could result in a journos hassling them and having to play damage control to make sure their fans still feel like it's a stress free friend simulator environment.

Gaming has been around for over 40 years. I've been gaming since the mid 80s and I'm female. No one gave a shit whether you were male or female back then. It was a hobby.

I laugh at all you tards.

I think it's a combo of Gamergate's horribly beaten corpse and the mainstream popularity of games in general. Now there's just too much drama to chase.

I keep hoping it will eventually return to normal. But too many people don't want it too. They'll lose their victim badge.

Me whenever I hear a female on my team:

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

It reminded me of some old Game Grumps streams where the guys were having fun until someone's obnoxious girlfriend would get jealous that she wasn't the center of attention and invite herself in.

The vibe was ruined and the other grump would humor her for a few minutes before politely nopeing out and the video would end.

Do you mean Arin's girlfriend-now-wife? I forgot her name, but I used to enjoy her gaming videos. Funny thing about her is that she actually reads game instructions, so she is rather competent at videogames unlike her husband. If Dan is around, it gets awkward because it's like watching two people trying to play a video game while Arin is sperging in the background like a jackass.

I recall Ross once bringing his birdwife to play a game and she was so obnoxious the youtube comments implored him never to bring her back. She was also the one who cheated on Ross with ProJared.

I haven't kept up with the Game Grumps crowd for years so sorry if this is now incorrect.

 

[The Southwest Strangla]

The hilarious thing is the original accuser (Archive) is a troon. That alone tells me the story is fake, because there is no way anyone would think they are playing with a woman when they hear the typical troon voice.

women and troons are horrible at gaming, so, if its true, i wouldn't blame him. I would quit too

 

[Gar For Archer]

I don’t want streamers because I’m not a faggot, do they usually stream with VC on? Is Valorant even a game where comms are super important?

 

[Alkro]

Its a sad state of affairs when a streamer cant just come out and say he doesnt want to banter with a hole
I'd take a fifty percent tax increase if it meant a free state given lobotomy for every retard riled up at this. fake accusations or not.

 

[Jerri's Kid]

It's a tranny who started this rumor so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Even if it's true I honestly don't blame him.

I used to occasionally watch this streamer/YouTuber who was on the verge of being famous until he said some things that pissed off the woke crowd, and he used to talk about the female social climbers who'd demand his attention all the time and flood his inbox with nudes. If you have a girlfriend or wife that you care about, that has to be difficult to deal with, and some of these women are crazy and will try to ruin your life if you reject them.

There are plenty of women who don't do that sort of thing and just want to play the game, but even in all female guilds you find a few who love to cause drama and flirt with all the lesbians for attention.

On the male side you have these incorrigible Chris Chan types who never, ever learn how to interact with women normally so they end up being obnoxious simps or bitter incels who also cause drama. If you're a woman it's best to ghost these as fast as possible so that they don't fixate on you.

In general, it's rare to find a group of people online in a game who can behave maturely. The very best guild I was in when I played WoW had a fairly even male/female ratio and we never fought over loot or had sexual drama, but after that guild broke up I never found another with that kind of dynamic.

I mostly play single player games now or multiplayer with friends. Fortunately, voice is unnecessary for most multiplayer games unless you're a pro playing a team game.
