Business of Being a Female Gamer
The relatively mild mannered “other” Ryan of 8-Bit Gaming posted an impassioned vlog entitled “This has to stop.” In the video, Ryan explains that he finally had enough of one woman’s presence on Twitch.

The woman in question apparently turned her channel into your average pay for play porn streaming site. Ryan’s problem with her was focused on the fact that the woman had potentially reached the eyes and ears of Twitch’s largely underage user base.

While the eye-catching sexiness of many characters is what initially draws onlookers, many women are motivated to cosplay because of a sense of empowerment. Female cosplayers have flourished through their ability to create their own costumes while building successful personal businesses.
