Some streamers and others are calling for a one-day boycott on Sept. 1 of the livestream platform. They want to use that “silence” to protest coordinated harassment attacks known as “hate raids” against Black creators and those from other marginalized communities, as well as Twitch’s response to these incidents. The creators have been documenting some of their experiences in #TwitchDoBetter. (Insider; h/t Color of Change)
Tilt Take: It’s beyond horrifying to read the attacks these creators face. While a one-day boycott certainly won’t end it, we do hope creators see support from other creators, and Twitch takes deliberate and swift action to help prevent these coordinated attacks.
