I have only recently realised how shit EGs homepage is. How do you even find things on this? Was looking for the thing about all the streamers being white or whatever.
Sounds like nonsense. Don't watch too many streamers, but off the top of my head, the biggest FIFA streamer is Mexican and the biggest female streamer is half Moroccan...

It did take me a minute to find it, yeah.
I half thought about posting a comment on how I would like to see how diverse a list of EGs top earners would be but thought better of it.

Yeah, as soon as anything slips off the "latest" section then good luck finding it. ( here in case anybody wants to read it) The other thing about the article as pointed out in the comments is that the #1 earning streamer is actually a male and female duo, despite goatee saying there are no women in the top 20. Top quality fact checking! |

The comments are absolutely brutal. I’m not sure there’s a single one that has anything positive to say about the article.

It's more of a beard than a goatee
I feel he's being unfairly judged for his facial hair

It's also a bit rich given they made a bit of a song and dance about their latest hire, a white guy with a goatee. Yeah, but he's gay flavour so it's all good. |

The comments lock did seem a little bit weird. “People looked him up on Twitter, not acceptable”

Especially this part:
Sure, paying a subscription doesn't give you the right to be an entitled jerk, but given that the reception to EG's new business model has been somewhat tepid - to put it mildly - maybe being snotty toward the (few) people who have ponied up the cash isn't the best of ideas.

And its not like its a total no go area either. I love the work of Andrew O’Neill and a few years ago they had a Radio 4 show about their transvestitism which had some very funny jokes in it and much more recently they chose to drop he for they/she and have done some fun stuff on that too. There is definitely a rich vein of material to mine and its disappoint that manly male comedian men aren’t using their time to make jokes about their/societies attitude but at the expense of a minority who get enough shit already. Somehow never heard of Andrew O'Neil before. That was great, thanks for linking it. |

There’s quite a bit of stand up and the second episode of that show on their youtube channel. One of my absolute favourites.

Presumably, Twitter is awash with people saying 'my uncle is poor and his wife left him for a black guy. So much for #whiteprivilege'

Things like this worry me. Although I think hardly anyone will take that seriously, it seems like it's designed to shift people's perceptions farther and farther right by normalising ludicrous fascist* statements as just something MPs say.
*Yes, I think reporting someone to the authorities for using a two word phrase would definitely put us into fascist territory.

Sacking teachers for criticising the party reminds me of something in our history, can't put my finger on it. I'll let you know when I recall.

Yes it's important the BBC have balance between bigotry and non-bigotry, or where would we be. The BBC can fuck itself at this point, anything of value is gone. Sorry to see the way things are going:( |

It's amazing how the tories have so successfully dismantled so many institutions that only 10 years ago we had tremendous pride in. All in the pursuit of power and money for the few of them.

Being black and choosing to be an environmental campaigner are just the same don't you know.
