On another note. This stream does not further the case for both:

1. Respect for girl gamers
2. respect for eSports

This entire stream is a dedication to women's sexuality and not their skill. People bitch and moan about how girl gamers constantly get no respect for their skill and only their body, and it's things like this that do NOT help. I would totally be for this streamer if she hadn't posted pictures of her 3/4 naked, and been a glam-fest over what eSports is meant for, GAMING. This is not a modelling scene, and never will be. Wonder why profession girl gamers such as Flo or Startale Rainbow's girlfriend (forgot her name) have respect and don't get extra attention? It is because they carry themselves professionally, they aren't out for attention, they play because it is what they love.

With that said, this is an attention whoring stream at a glance, and I sincerely hope you will not take this as a personal attack, but as a reasonable post by a non-white knight observer.

I have been a gamer since I could remember, and I have all of my "gamer cred" on my stream page. I write for a gaming website, I have a gamer tattoo, I spend thousands of hours gaming, have dozens of consoles and hundreds of games.

I decided to use my modeling to boost the gaming scene. Many of my viewers are new to TwitchTV/streaming, etc. and are now incredibly into it. I've gotten countless men, women, models, etc. to start playing games and I created my TwitchTV layout with the help of their admins to make sure everything is to their ToS standards. I also now have the support of GoSc and many influential male and female gaming personalities, too.

That is the only thing I have to say in my defense. No need to fuel the ignorant fire further.

As for being bad at gaming: StarCraft is a HARD game, that requires hours of practice, and cognitive skills. I am doing my best to rise in the ladder ranks, and I honestly love the game. I'm great at other games, actually!

No, I understand, ELYSiUMlol.

Some people use "12 year old", or "Top-level Korean GM pro", to market their stream. I use what I've got, personality, gaming experience, and modeling/sexuality. I'm sorry that, to some people, that is not just as valid or moral. I promise you I have good intentions and mean to further gaming and eSports as a mainstream pass time and endeavor. <3

Sorry, Nightshade.

I'll love, someday, marketing as a Plat+ level SC2 player AND model. Right now, I don't have any credentials like that to draw in viewers. Simply putting "Gamer with lots of heart and twice the games!" would be cute, but not effective.

My point was that I am within the law, and TwitchTV ToS, and I am proud of my modeling career, gaming articles/work, and don't see anything wrong with making fun of myself and creating an interesting and different experience for gamers where they can feel mainstream and gaming coming together seamlessly!

I personally don't find it demeaning for the community. Elysium, you make some good points that support your opinion, but remember... it's just an opinion. Please stop pushing your ideals as gospel.

Good luck Tara! I believe people like yourself have the potential to attract a demographic to the scene that would otherwise be clueless of its existence
