Due to the hate Baghera has been facing I would just like to remind everyone that attacking other qsmp members is not okay and of the fact that the casual misogyny in mcyt/streamer still continues to this day from when I first saw it in 2018ish is disgusting.
We know casual misogyny is common in the minecraft fandom so why aren’t we doing anything to stop it.
So here are examples of people affected by this casual misogyny,
1) Sylveey was known in smplive, smpearth and mcmondays communities she was constantly bullied for no reason because she was supposedly a pick me girl. At one point I even blocked her without ever having watched her streams because I foolishly believed what these people would say.
2) Nihachu know mostly for dsmp was typically shipped with Wilbur even after they asked people to stop, along with her chat having people commonly ask her about Wilbur rather than her own stream. Not to mention she wasn’t typically considered in lore due to the ship with Wilbur and unwillingness from other members of dsmp. Techno and the syndicate helped her be involved when the community dismissed her. There is people who sexualise her.
3) HannahxxRose i have seen anti-Semitic remarks about her and her appearance in mcyt fandom, why would that ever be okay. Her lore like Niki’s was also not as respected by the fandom although she made an effort. One time I even saw that she received hate for winning an item that she used in lore because the fandom wanted a male member to have it.
4) I haven’t seen a lot in a while about Captain Puffy, but I recall that many had the audacity to call her trolls annoying when they were on the same level as what Bad and Skeppy would do.
5) Rarely I will see hate surrounding some of the female hermitcraft, last life and empires members however those fandoms has been really good at being positive and involving everyone. Seemingly the only fandoms to be able to accept and embrace female mcyts. They are some of the biggest communities with very little casual misogyny because it’s not all about lore 24/7 like the fandom wants it to be. *Check Replies*
6) MCC a fun game has been turned sour by fans of majority male streamers harassing mainly Scott and female mcc participants because their streamers lost.
3 out of 6 of those involved people from the dsmp when it was almost popular. There were only 6 afab members (at the time) during the dsmp. 9 if we’re counting those who came out as gender nonconforming or nonbinary yet even 2 out of those 3 were pushed to the side and given hate for no reason.
Again and again female streamers are put down and subjected to this casual misogyny because they aren’t receiving the same treatment as their male counterparts in their communities.
So far there are only 2 female qsmp members i hope that there are more female streamers who are encouraged and asked to join. That this doesn’t deter them because I appreciate them and love seeing this representation in qsmp. I do not enjoy the constant harassment they receive for being apart of it.
Stop praising male streamers for the bare minimum when female streamers have to do twice the work.
TL;DR
- female mcyts are constantly disregarded, harassed and typically only liked for their male counterparts. This is what casual misogyny looks like because 3 out of 6 female dsmp members faced it at the height of dsmp. It is happening again to one out of two female members on the qsmp. So why do they have to do twice the amount male streamers do. This is going to deter female streamers from qsmp which is horrendous because how can you celebrate culture without them.
