From its earliest beginnings the internet has been exploited as a vehicle for sexualised content. In fact, in many ways, porn has driven some of the biggest innovations in internet technology, from using primitive hypertext to transmit images, to online transactions, streaming, and so on. So, despite the fact that platforms have explicit anti-porn Terms of Service, porn will find a way.
Twitch is a live video streaming service focused on video games. For most of its users, that’s exactly what it’s for. Indeed, Twitch’s TOS ban mature content. But that hasn’t stopped a subculture of “Twitch Thots” and “Booby Streamers” using the service as an almost-porn service – especially through “OnlyFans” material available exclusively to paid subscribers. When called out on this, the women usually accuse their critics of “misogyny”.
So it’s hardly a surprise when a senior Twitch employee turns out to be yet another “male feminist” creeper.
Accounts director and strategic partnership manager at Twitch, Hassan Bokhari, has been fired following serious sexual harassment allegations.
A Canadian Twitch streamer known as Vio exposed a Twitch staff member for exploiting his position and sexual harassing her in a very damning Twitlonger.
Hassan seems the typical White Knight male feminist desperately hoping that the girls would like him for being a “nice guy”.
Hassan was known to the community to being a bit of a “feminist” and, according to YouTube comedian It’sAGundam, a “defender of thots.”
Hassan would be the go to guy for female partnered Twitch when they wanted issues resolved or just wanted to call in favours. The Twitch partnership manager would often resolve account strikes and remove suspensions from his favourite female Twitch partners, but would be rather harsh on male streamers.
However, according to Vio, he wouldn’t just do this to be nice; he had ulterior motives.
Well, no kidding. As Jordan Peterson said of male feminists, there’s definitely something going on with those guys.
Hassan allegedly leveraged his position as a Twitch partner manager to get sexual favours from aspiring female Twitch streamers. He’d boast and brag about his work while trying to impress them. He’d also promise them fame and fortune. At least that was the case for Vio.
The Canadian Twitch streamer was a small YouTuber with very few followers until Hassan discovered her in a Destiny (Bungie’s Shoot n’ Loot game) Discord server. He, seemingly, became infatuated with her and promised her a Twitch partnership as well as many other perks.
To be fair, Vio doesn’t seem entirely innocent, either. In what seems suspiciously like mutual back-scratching, Bokhari made Vio a minor Twitch star, while Vio “gave in” she says, and “‘dated’ him for a short amount of time without feeling physical attraction. But Bokhari clearly stepped over the line when he shared nude photos of the streamer with another Twitch streamer with an unsavoury reputation.
Vio names two abusers in her statement: Hassan and Luminosity. Luminosity is still on Twitch despite being exposed soliciting lewd photos from women. So, if Twitch were to ban/fire Hasssan for this type of misconduct, they’d need to be consistent and do the same to Luminosity. Twitch, though, isn’t really known for being consistent when enforcing their policies.
It’s almost like using your body to get fans and make money is a gateway to a murky, seedy underworld populated by creepers and exploiters.
