I dont play with female gamers, said Blevins while speaking with Polygon. And according to the face of Fortnite streaming, it has to do with with the aforementioned rumor culture, the era of clickbait, and how when you have millions of viewers watching you, everything is dissected, everything is prone to be misinterpreted, and even as something as small as a conversation with a female streamer during a stream can be morphed into a storm of gossip that produces fallacious and defacing conclusions.
And this makes sense coming from Blevins, who is married, and thus unsurprisingly doesn't want fictitious Internet rumors floating around about misconduct on his part. Because, like the streamer notes, even having a conversation with a female streamer can be skewed into all types of messy headlines.
And we see this type of activity on the Internet all the time. As Polygon notes, when another prominent Twitch and Fortnite streamer, Ali Myth Kabbani, had Imane Pokimane Anys on stream, viewers quickly began firing off and probing about the two's relationship, as well as making all types of conclusions based off the two merely streaming together.

My two boys play a lot of Fortnite, as do their friends. And Roblox. And SML videos on YouTube. These gamers, streamers, YouTubers are the rock stars of today. You might not know who they are but you can bet your kids do.
Female video game streamers only have large numbers of followers because of their relative “hotness”. Case in point - the young woman mentioned in the article: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1NDCM_enUS799US799&biw=1088&bih=530&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=CH9wW7—MOm3jwS14qPgBg&q=Imane++Anys+&oq=Imane++Anys+&gs_l=img.3..0l2j0i30k1j0i24k1l4.97815.97815.0.98243.1.1.0.0.0.0.55.55.1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.1.54....0.TQ-2szv10no
This guy is smart to apply the Pence approach.
How do they even know who they are playing against? Its certainly possible people are using false identities.

Get with the program, man.
Women ruin everything.

They're runing their own prospects with this #MeToo stuff. Men are opting out of interacting with women professionally (and that's what this is, they make their living from these streams). If you are a female starting out in business and you want a mentor, a champion then you'd better hope there are lots of female execs around because we men are deciding that we never want to have a private conversation with a woman at work where there aren't witnesses. It's not worth the risk of her being a loon and saying you said something mean, thus destroying your career.
Never heard of any of this.
I never did either until my boys were old enough to become interested in gaming and found YouTube channels they liked. Now I try to stay on top of it.
Men should also record every conversation, and let females know they are doing so.
DanTDM made $16.5 million dollars last year playing video games in YouTube videos. He goes on tour and plays video games in the sporting arenas where rock stars used to perform.
It's the men - the grabbers - who have ruined it all.
Decent men can't believe that many of their colleagues will grab a woman's breast in an elevator or push her up against the wall in the office. It happens a lot.
There’s a guy at work who has been targeted by a crazed co-worker woman, accusing him of drug use, because he was a bit forgetful.
He was frog-marched out of the building, forced to take a urine test (which was negative) - this woman has caused at least 13 people to quit or transfer. He has hired a lawyer and he is on probation until an investigation is completed.
What a nightmare. This woman is crazy, but since she has two XX chromosomes, she can never lie.
Most other women at work are lazy, distracted, or just don’t care. I don’t dare raise my voice at them because estrogen. And there are fewer and fewer men at work, so the crazy estrogen factor just keeps increasing.
I don’t want any women in my office and if they come, I insist that the door is open. I’m actually thinking about installing a clock-cam to protect myself against false accusations.
Like I said, women ruin everything.
It’s a different world... the young aren’t watching football, they’re watching gamers.
