Content creators on Twitch are boycotting the streaming platform after an increase in hate raids. Creators are using #ADayOffTwitch on Twitter to show solidarity and raise awareness about the ongoing problem.
The virtual walkout, designed by streamers ShineyPen, Lucia Everblack, and RekitRaven, is an attempt to shine a spotlight on the ongoing hate creators face including harassment directed toward marginalized streamers. This harassment includes transphobic and homophobic comments, as well as racial slurs and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.
