We are going to tackle one of those sensitive topics, but it's one that we think needs to be addressed. If you have been anywhere near social media this past week, you know there have been a multitude of women coming forward to share their experiences of sexual abuse by members of the gaming/streaming community. These stories are heart wrentching and we applaud them for having the bravery to come forward and share them. We want to discuss this topic and why women in gaming are treated so poorly.
