Did This Popular Twitch Streamer Getting Outed Just End Homophobia?

The ""journalist"" was delivering this story as if it was a true crime case where a guy murdered his entire family and then ate them. Like, dude, a random twitch streamer doing gay porn is not worth reporting on as a journalist unless you work for a tabloid.

[@404maxnotfound]

Tbf regular journalism is pretty close to this sensationalizing as if a nuke as been dropped for every story even if it doesn't actually matter.

[@carlottalp]

Not to mention that a guy with an audience of edgy 13 yo being possibly closeted and doing gay adult videos is a scandal, for how the world works, but he managed to make it all soooooo boring. If you want to do shitty things, at least make it interesting

[@gama2064]

[@VoxAstra-qk4jz]

There was this hit piece written a while ago about Brandon Sanderson, the fantasy author. I guess because he's Mormon, they thought they could "expose" him, but turns out that he's just kind of a normal guy. It ends with the journalist having a mental breakdown as the Sanderson family watches like an X-Men movie or something.

[@heyyodude8637]

It is really infuriating to know that homophobic people would be so vile towards Sketch, yet is okey to defend predators like Dr. Disrespect. Like, that’s quite a standard to have 🤡

[@kitenlovar699]

yess. i hate how she mentioned him being exposed even though it was exactly what happened. acting like there is a motha fuckin monster among us with that "journalistic video essay". it puts a perspective i rarely see in exposure videos. often times i have seen videos, a lot, of youtubers and content creators getting exposed but it's like dr. disrespect, miranda sings, jefree star, james charles, etc. these people have done very horrible or controversial things and it doesn’t compare to making a video and 'exposing'. jeez i might just start watching the twitch streamer.. seems like really unfortunate for someone to target him.

[@kitenlovar699]

additionally, what really makes me laugh is him saying it was hard for him to put this together, as someone else said, as if it's a murder doc. like exposing that he's actually queer is what this video is... so embarrassing, like you did put it together though. are you embarrassed for going out of way to find it, or just to seem serious like this is the end all of everything..

[@mustanggox]

ironically i feel like him being in that very bro-ey space that absolutely adores him will change a lot of those minds abt queer people. if u look at stories of homophobic people, ull see that often the *one* thing that changes their mind is seeing someone they love coming out in this community. it humanizes us, makes them realize we’re just like anyone else. It breaks my heart what happened to sketch, but i’m trying to hold on to the one positive thing that may come out of this.

[@Akeyins]

Yeah I have similar feelings about Mr Beast and how aggressively he defends his trans friend and how he treats her like he always has. He has a huge influence on young people, and I just genuinely think that they'll see his behavior and try to emulate it instead of getting brainwashed into hating trans people like so many generations before them

[@infinitivez]

I just wish he had half the balls Sketch does, and maybe asked to interview him, or even email him a heads up that he was running with the story, and given him even a shred of a chance to be the one to come out on his own, before it ran. The amount of "journalistic integrity" that was thrown out the window in putting this out there, is deafening.

[@NaughtMax]

I unironically believe this

[@dolphinswilltakeover]

@@Akeyins Not to be that person but Eva faces 10x more backlash than sketch ever did (and still does). I really feel like sketch was only given that grace, bc he is a man that presents mostly masculine. Sometimes their acceptance only reaches out towards a certain type of person, if sketch were trans, a feminine dude, or anything outside of the heteronormative understanding he would not be as much accepted as he is now, but ig it’s good for him. Hopefully in the future he embraces being openly gay.

[@CaulkMongler]

Honestly that’s really a big chunk of it - so many bros *only* experience with “queer” people are online and with people who are entirely adversarial to their existence. It only takes one of the bros to be like yeah I’m queer af for them to flip and fully support them.

[@Zyxie_Zyxie_Zyxie]

I feel like the biggest factor of the pushback wasn’t reaaallyyyy that it was sex work or hell even gay sex work, its the fact that he was a sub femboy bottom, like if he was doing nothing outta the ordinary straight porn or even gay porn but he still kept a similar aesthetic to his current one and was a top I highly doubt that video would’ve even been made and the whole thing would’ve blown over within like a week tops, but when you take in the hatred of femininity to account it’s all of a sudden a smack in the face and the ultimate betrayal to some of his straight male fans….it’s giving Riley and Gangstalicious tease…

[@KatBlaque]

Yep! If he was a straight male performer he would be applauded

[@Scuor2]

Even top sketch would make that guy go "am i gay now?" and a Jordan Peterson detective special.

[@brian_Austin27]

[@nahhitsnotnys]

LITERALLY, even some channels that made videos on the situation said as such. i feel bad for sketch but I'm glad he has people near him that at lest supported him in his time of need

[@MTMyTails]

Also the Dom black BBC with the femboi sub swc would be upsetting to a teenager with slightly racist and conservative values

[@Acidfunkish]

I saw someone something like, "They wanted to be able to be homophobic before ever coming to know the guy, and they're mad that the opportunity to do that was taken from them." But also, "Don't shove it in our faces." So, do you want to know, or not? It seems like some of them feel like they're entitled to that knowledge, but only so they could know to avoid him, before they started to like him.

[@BlackXSunlight]

They really say "Don't shove it in our faces" but also go on an investigative undercover mission to root out The Gayyy.

[@ArturGlass.C]

They want us to segregate ourselves I've always understood "don't shove it in our face" as more of "don't invade straight spaces" or "don't exist at all" rather than wanting them for us to be stealth. Because the homophobes have always hated stealth queers. That's where they say that we're deceiving and predatory. They do feel entitled to know I think.

[@Acidfunkish]

​@@BlackXSunlightlmao, right?

[@BlackXSunlight]

@@Acidfunkish I’ve tried to explain this to people before, but homophobes don’t want to hear that they’re the problem at all. Like ok I could be “closeted” and not disgust anyone with my disgusting gross queerness, but in every field of our lives people have to be in our business. You can only work with colleagues for so long before they ask direct questions, and how fair is it to demand that someone lie? Like hello, dead dove in bag.

[@tvgamerstan6180]

Like, dunno, fast food workers/customer service. Also while I'm not a stripper nor do I know anything about it, I'm far too weak to ever be one, it's not super hard to see how artistry is involved. Just because something is 'sexual', either primarily so or just sexualized, doesn't mean it can't be artistic.

[@agme8045]

@@Vesperad0 how am I degrading anyone? Not everything people do is art, and not everyone is an artist. Are you delusional? Stop romanticizing sex work. If someone wants to become a sex worker, good for them. However most people don’t choose that job because they like it. It simply pays the bills, and it doesn’t require qualifications. But it’s degrading nonetheless, having to perform naked or barely clothed to make strangers sexually aroused is not artistic, and don’t pretend like there’s much skill involved (unless you consider starving yourself to have a conventionally attractive body a skill). And stripping is not sexualized lmao it’s inherently sexual. I’m not a hypocrite, I watch porn and I don’t judge the people who create it. However, I do judge corporations that profit from sexually exploiting people. And I’d never hire a stripper or a sex worker. One thing is a person filming themselves on their bedrooms or a hotel room, alone or with a partner. Another very different thing is paying people to arouse or sexually satisfy a crowd.

Sketch sure does sound like he's doing the whole "successfully prayed away the gay" shtick and I think that's part of why he's so accepted about all this; "I'm changed," "I'm better now," "I'm not like that anymore."

Yeah his comments on the situation sounded really weird

[@KatBlaque]

I definitely agree with that but I also know that if sex work was traumatizing for him there’s a huge chance it’s not something he considers as part of his sexuality and if he does he’s likely not ready to talk about that. This guy took away his chance to discuss it on his own terms.

[@zapfacid]

I felt the same. I was concerned about the way he said it's a mistake. It did not at all seem related to the sex work part but more the gay sex part.

It's definitely a W in my book up, but it seems a lil ironic to me that they'll drag a woman for having an OF but when one of their boys has one they'll tell everyone to chill but it's whatever I'm glad this had a good outcome and hopefully they can see their hypocrisy and grow from it.

[@Vesperad0]

​@@wualdoah yes, because every woman alive is a sex work. And because all women want to do sex work, for sure for sure. Y'know, with their boobs and hips and legs, and their totally not 90% male audiences that will watch them on the down low hoping they don't have partners while later degrading them. Anyways stop acting like onlyfans makes someone an evil mastermind. Just admit it's sexism, the writing's already on the wall anyway. If you really want to stop onlyfans from being a thing, how about we stop sexualizing women in every way shape and form. Maybe if you treated them like humans, most women wouldn't feel that their only choice is sex work-and even then learn to respect those that willingly do and like sex work. It's only a problem if you're a sex obsessed lunatic who can't help but project onto every woman you see.

[@heathertaylor3310]

This is so far beside the point, but as a journalism student can I just say that the “journalist” doing the expose even misrepresented that quite a bit… The elements of newsworthiness are just one way to measure whether a story is worth pursuing, and are meant to be paired with other good judgment. It’s NOT that if a story meets some or all of those elements your HAVE to share it.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Right? Editorial boards used to have big long discussions about the ethics + merit of publishing a story. .

I think the craziest thing to me , is these same guys showing support also shit on women with only fans or maybe women who had only fans trying to cover it up , they shit on these women. So I find it funny when it’s their friend they come to defend , but everyone else is whores . I also feel bad for sketch apologizing for what he was doing , like it’s weird like he is saying sorry for being gay since he might know many of his supporters are like anti gay. But it’s like he did it , whatever gay , straight , gay for pay , bi who cares I loved how he handled it though

[@Meeshilin_Man]

Oh yeah totally, nothing's wrong with what Sketch did, he's saying he effed up because he did it to feed a drug addiction and I'm glad he's sober now. If he just did OF just to do it, then yeah, he has nothing to be ashamed of.

[@chalmersmathew4831]

When Sketch said “I’d rather you know my flaws” and when you mentioned elements of expressing your own sexuality throughout the video, I think another issue at hand is how sexiness is thought of in heteronormative spaces, especially for men. Like, I and I’m sure many other men have never thought of themselves as sexy, let alone handsome. While certainly an element of self care is involved, the general lack of accepting one’s own attractive male beauty might be hampering the sexual development and communication skills of young men who have to hide or who simply never get to express their ideas of sexiness of/for themselves because of culture, society, etc. Then, in the case of having to start doing so through very public sex work where one’s sexual expression is tied to monetary (and algorithmic) success, then I imagine men regardless of sexuality may be disinclined to experience their sexuality in healthy ways.

[@uniquenewyork3325]

Any men who see themselves as attractive are described as "pretty boys" and "lightskin behavior" to shame them and make them feel less masculine

[@fluidthought42]

Well not only that but the only image sold to most guys as an avenue of attractiveness is conforming to a traditionally masculine archetype. It can vary from culture to culture but this restrictive view can often actually come in conflict with the reality of what a lot of women are actually attracted to, which makes this advice to cishet boys only all the more counterproductive. Personally I suspect that it's just another avenue of control. If boys can't understand themselves as having any appeal outside of restrictive masculinity they'll try to force themselves into those roles, and then when they do that and don't find success more is demanded from them in return.

[@Ihateeverything35]

I totally agree with what you said regarding men's understanding of their own appeal. My boyfriend of 14 years still to this day doesn't take well to my compliments about what I find attractive in him. It feels like he truly doesn't believe me when I tell him that he sexy or desirable. He is 5 11" and 145 lbs. So he thinks he's too skinny to be traditionally attractive as a man, which couldn't be further from the truth. I've tried to express my true feelings about this over the years in every way possible to no avail, unfortunately. I feel like as a woman, it takes quite a few years, if not a damn decade, to become comfortable in your own skin and to embrace your individual sexiness. But once you come to that understanding within yourself, it's very freeing and liberating. I feel like my boyfriend will never come to feel that way about his own attractiveness, and it's very frustrating. I, at the bare minimum, want him to feel comfortable in his own skin and, at best, be confident in his own self-image and see himself the way I do.

The fact that Sketch was planning on ending his life if it came out that he was doing gay sex work, makes me think about how much differently this EASILY could have gone.

I'm so glad that so many of Sketch's streamer friends are still so supportive of him.
