Degencast Topics

1. LSF Changes. They unbanned some previously controversial people like Destiny and Jon Zherka. This subreddit is one of, if not the, most used subreddit when it comes to streaming highlights from Twitch. It has a massive driving force on the drama and content that blows up on Twitch. How do you view LSF as a whole? Is it beneficial or hurtful to Twitch? Do you think the mods should be able to ban anyone from the subreddit, considering how big an impact it has shown to have on volatility and relevancy on streamers? Is there anyone you want banned from LSF?

2. Exohydrax, a smaller Twitch streamer, has been banned for accidentally showing more cleavage than intended. People are outraged, calling for the same punishments for streamers like Alinity and Amouranth. Do you think they are right in their outcry?

3. Ninja & Kaceytron. Is Kaceytron a true feminist, fighting for women? Or is she just doing the classic Kaceytron firestarting trolling to get attention, followers, and more money that will inevitably be seized by the IRS? Who is in the right in this situation?

4. Badbunny & Destiny. Destiny is exposing her for being racist, transphobic, and homophobic based on hundreds of discord messages. She is claiming that they are all fake. It's causing quite the shitstorm on Twitter. Who do you think is telling the truth?

5. Blizzard / Hong Kong debaucle. What is the correct action Blizzard should have taken? Have they already taken the right move? Is it their call to decide who and what can be said due to them owning the events, or should they be controlled when it impedes on what is generally considered basic human rights ( free speech). If you ran a business of this scale, how would you allow/disallow statements of sensitive nature?

6. J. Allen Brack's response. Was corrective action taken, or was the point completely missed by Blizzard? What move should they take now? https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/blizzard/23185888/regarding-last-weekend-s-hearthstone-grandmasters-tournament

7. The casters were also banned from Blizzard events for 6 months. Were they at fault for not silencing Blitzchung? Are they victims? How should they have responded, if any differently?

8. Many people are boycotting Blizzard, commentators are walking out; all sorts of actions and stances are being taken to show support for Hong Kong. What do you think is the best way to support Hong Kong's fight here? Do you believe it is something we should be talking about, or leaving in the hands of the governments?

9. The United States Congress wrote to Blizzard, speaking out against the actions they made despite their motto as a company. Do you
think this will have any impact on the decisions Blizzard makes?

10. Twitch is testing Watch Parties, where you can stream Prime Video content to viewers that also have Amazon Prime. Are you excited about this feature? Do you think it will increase Prime Subs as a side effect? What movie would you watch with your chat if you could watch any?

11. Destiny openly admits he says the N-word in private, but shows extreme disdain for it and any other hateful words being used in any sort of public forum. Do you think there are dangers using hateful speech, slanders, etc in private conversations? Do you believe all such words should be kept out of any public forum?

12. TriHex is banned from attending and participating in AGDQ 2020 because of his F-word slip from October of 2018. Do you feel this is correct of the GDQ team, or is egregious due to how long Trihex has been apart of and supported the organization, all the way from the very beginning?

13. Viewers constantly reach out to their favorite streamers for depression, loneliness, anxiety et al. advice. The common response is to get professional help. Imagine all you've overcome in your life; what's the 1 key golden piece of advice you could give to a human in general?
