The vast majority of men have zero concept of the female barrier to entry to streaming. Takes like this make it instantly clear these people have no interaction with industry females. They think the lack of top female streamers is due to an inability to process negative feedback or put in the time on the grind but the truth is they have zero perspective on the sheer insanity even 100 viewer female streamers deal with on a daily basis. I've repped a lot of the top 100 female talent and it's utterly unhinged. Hundreds of daily DMs, constant doxxing, people showing up at houses and real life events, constant oversexualization, literally everything you do is objectified. If a female ever did do the stuff Kai does she'd be objectified first before ever being judged for the content itself. Case and point look at the dumbass replies to this quoted tweet. @Amouranth is getting cooked yet she's done a ton of collabs (Iggy Azalea literally a month ago), Streamer Royale, her own events, etc. She can do industry defining work but she'll just be known as an OF girl first instead of all the amazing cool shit she does because that's how this industry rolls. I've been a top 500 streamer, public enemy #1 of Reddit for a while, lots of hate, etc. It's nowhere near what even a 500 viewer female streamer deals with, and yes that's without plugging an OnlyFans or marketing towards sexuality. I promise you as a non-streamer or white male dude broadcasting to 7 viewers or whatever you have no concept of what a female goes through. There's no question Kai is putting out the best content and the market rewards that. But there's a graveyard of nameless thousands of females that would've otherwise tried but got instantly put off by how terrible they're treated. Then when they call it out, people say it's their content that sucks and they should toughen up. That's the problem @pokimanelol is alluding to. We will never close the gap of how male-dominated livestreaming is until we can have that conversation.
