A Letter to TRStanzi

A while ago you called me venomous. You called me venomous as you sat on the post credits screen to your Wind Waker HD "Speedrun" for 2 hours, just reading off donations. While you spewed your canned gratitude, I was in your chat "jokingly" saying "Where's the gameplay" and "streamer, please play the video game." You marked my supposed sarcasm as venomous, stating "you may think you're being cute, but you're not."

I wasn't trying to be cute. I was genuinely interested in getting more gameplay out of your stream, instead of having to listen to your irritating voice reading off donation after donation. This was just a small nuisance; something I could overlook. Everyone could use a bit of extra money, I get that. But afterward you went on to send a text message to Cosmo saying something along the lines of "Yashi and his friends were bullying me." There are a lot of things wrong with this statement, but I'm going to start off with something small.

You texted Cosmo. Not tweeted, not a PM on Twitch or IRC, a text. A very safe way to go about telling him, leaving little to no room for retort. I'd call that clever, but why would you bring Cosmo into it at all? Did you figure because he runs Wind Waker he would respond? Regardless, he did respond, and his response told me many things. First, he either grossly misinterpreted your claims, or you stretched the truth. While I'm not one to really care for /srg/'s reputation, Cosmo had an outburst directed at /srg/ because of your lie. Only I was involved in your "harassment" and your exaggeration has not gone unnoticed. Second, your response to Cosmo of all people was completely unwarranted, and to me comes off as a cry for attention. If you needed emotional support, why not talk to your "hubby" you love so dearly? Does he not have enough twitter followers to sate your thirst for attention?

Your desire for attention is not where it ends. Your estimated goal of $2500 in order to get to AGDQ is an insane amount. There's no way you could possibly need this much money, but don't get me wrong. I understand a bit extra money is good, but when you have a house as fucking huge as yours I find it hard to believe that money is that hard to come by in your life. Bear in mind I'm not trying to speak for SDA, SRL or any of the expectations for AGDQ here. I'm speaking for myself. Considering your presence alone will hardly bring in the amount of money for the charity AGDQ is working for, don't you think it's a bit absurd to request such a large sum of money? Your viewers' money is much better spent elsewhere. The fact that your viewers are willing to throw money at you for your bullshit thanks sickens me. But the fact that you encourage this behavior is disgusting. Venomous, even. People like you are popping up all over the place, using your shitty gimmicks like face cam and donation bars. It's stupid.

I'd say your venomous actions are affecting speedruns, encouraging degeneracy and selling out, but... You're not exactly part of the community, are you? Your only connection is through the tons of money and gifts you throw at Cosmo. Joining the ranks of his mods, most of whom got their power from doing the same. It's a toxic circle that's created here. You get money from your idiot viewers, you give some to Cosmo, and you nestle yourself right on his nuts. A symbiotic relationship, except for you have no real reason to be protected. Your safety is fueled by your lies and paypal. You, and everyone else that's like you are disgusting. You are the one who is truly venomous, Stanzi. You and your "AGDQ Funds."

P.S. I don't regret banning Siglemic from your chat. Your reaction to seeing the great Siglemic, who I'm sure gives zero fucks about you, being banned was hilarious.
