Instances of such misogyny have become more and more frequent lately, as can be seen with the amount of celebration that Pokimane's Twitch ban yielded.Furthermore, platforms like Twitter trying to silence women for standing up for themselves also enables such misogynists to continue harassing women.Naturally, streamers have taken it upon themselves to defend their fellow female streamers. Famous personalities like Mizkif, Sykkuno, Valkyrae, Disguised Toast, and many more have spoken out against these displays of misogyny on social media and have stated the importance of doing so multiple times.
