    This sounds good Chu

    I'mma go ahead and say it, I don't think twitch is the right service for half naked people licking microphones in hot tubs.

    I do not begrudge microphone lickers their vast fortunes, but take that shit to onlyfans.

    I absolutely get my conservative is showing there, but it's how I feel about it.

    are YOU on the beer list?

    Yeah don't worry too much about the corporatespeak, after you've been in the culture for extended periods you always circle back to the same words, your language deployment is usually just off the cuff because it synergizes with what you're used to.

    ok i talked to them on the phone. she asked how i was doing, and then reiterated what i said last time we talked- this company is my primary focus right now, i'm not considering taking another job atm until this process is concluded. and i said correct, i really liked everyone i've talked to so far at the company and the members of the panel interview yesterday only furthered that conviction. so this job is my principal pursuit, you're not dealing with any sort of expiring timeline. i won't be considering other opportunities until i hear back from you next week.

    and she said ok great, thank you for that. well, i just wanted to reach out be transparent so you didn't feel strung along; i know this process is taking a while. i will get back to you by tuesday or wednesday of next week with either an offer or further feedback.

    *guts churn*

    Chu I hope next week you're in here posting how you got the job.

    Cause then we get to play Chu makeover for the next six months while half the forums sell you on tech shit, a third sell you on fashion, and maybe 5 people REALLY try to convince you to move where they live.

    Also I just hope you get the job because you deserve it, but living vicariously through your accomplishments is also nice.

    if i get this job i plan to spend at least a year paying off my car and fixing my teeth.

    but then yes pls crowdsource the new place where i'm going to live

    Twitch is just where onlyfans people advertise to their under 18 clientele where to find them on onlyfans.

    sex workers are and have always been deplatformed without cause by puritanical conservative people in power, and forced to smaller and smaller and more exploitive spaces in the name of some nebulous "child safety" goal, so I pretty much condemn any effort whatsoever to continue this ugly tradition.

    Destigmatize consensual sex and sexy things between adults as something you hide.

    We celebrate getting stupid fucking drunk at the bar and that kills tens of thousands of people a year, a little fucking being so taboo is ridiculous.

    I'm not talking about showing dick everywhere, having a little decency and consideration is fine.

    But acting like it's something you can't freely talk about, even with your partner, and having it carved out as some necessary evil in the eyes of God is beyond absurd, to me. It promotes unhealthy relationships.

    if it wasn't such a big deal, then the industry wouldn't be so popular, then it wouldn't be so 1) taboo 2) lucrative 3) seedy

    so it seems like it tracks

    imo if you are performing for money and the primary appeal of this performance is sexual, then you are a sex worker.

    hot tub streamers, people taking sexy photos and selling them, pinups, this is all sex work. it happens to be legal sex work, but it's sex work. the idea that these legal activities are all something else, but then there's some nebulous, shifting line in the sand where it becomes the dreaded Sex Work, is one of the grosser means of control and exploitation.

    I don't think that demonizing sex workers or sexy streams is reasonable, but also think that it's fair for people to want their recommendations on a site to not be engulfed by streamers clearly selling sex. I also think that it's dumb and shitty to blame women for finding a niche and making money on it, but that a lot of parasociality commentary does legitimately apply to sex streamers and it's uncomfortable in the abstract for such a large market targeting people prone to parasociality to exist, the same way it's uncomfortable for a large market targeting gambling addiction market in f2p gaming.

    Twitch is a land of contrasts, I guess
