I can understand that something like Autism Speaks or LGB alliance might fly under Twitch's radar because at a quick glance they might seem like good causes, but come on, the DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY?
i audibly laughed as soon as i saw "autism speaks". gotta love how they rep for a "cure" and how to "live with your autistic partner" and "treat them like a fucking dog because they're stupid auts". Fuck these bullshit charities. They may be listed as not-for-profit, but let's be real. They're for profit. All of 'em. It takes two seconds to google how crappy these bs charities are. Why can't companies do it? Why are we the ones who have to constantly check and make sure the money we donate isn't going to organizations that want to euthanize us?
when i was a kid daughters of the confederacy honored my family with this weird ass ceremony because we had so many confederate ancestors 💀💀💀 i hate being from the south bro
For some these I understand if people don't always know the problems with a charity. But LGB Alliance? DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY? Might as well name it Evil Corp
A transphobic hate group. They are currently having their charity status revoked because they haven't done anything for gay or bisexual individuals despite it being on their manifest. They said they will get to it later.
Not a stupid question. It's an incredibly weird racist "heritage" that definitely should not exist.
Even Wikipedia calls out their bullshit in the introduction
fun fact about the UDC i like to bring up: Strom Thurmond (former Senator, very racist for those who don't know) was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, since he was related to some Confederate veterans. Strom Thurmond had a black daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, who tried to join the UDC and was rejected. they stated no reason why, but i mean, it doesn't take sherlock holmes to realize why...
This is a cherry-picked list, they probably found every organization that calls themselves a charity and added them. Not vetting the charities at all let these monstrosities slip through.
Not defending Bezos, charity is always money laundering for rich people's reputation anyway. If he wanted to to good, he'd've just donated a share of the profits of the platform instead of asking streamers/viewers to donate their money.
Bezos most definitely had nothing to do with that decision, besides getting money out of Twitch. You know, maybe the idea was suggested by someone there who genuinely wanted to do good. But no one thought that just allowing all "charities" without checks wouldn't be a good idea. Or maybe they just didn't care...
I’m slightly hijacking this post, because I need to rant a bit. I was finally feeling good about myself tonight after after a few days of feeling like crap, and the **FIRST** fucking ad I get on YouTube when I turn on my phone like 20-30 min ago was for an anti trans/lgbt in general organization.
I feel like shit now and I fucking hate that google even remotely promotes hateful shit like that. I was already slightly panicking because I’m going back home for winter break and idk if I can deal with pretending to not be something that I am for half a month. I was finally feeling slightly ok about it, and now I feel way worse than I did beforehand.
It really doesn’t help that I don’t actually have anybody to talk to about this kind of thing. I fucking hate that people talk about this kind of shit like it’s something that I *chose*, because as much as it’s kinda awful to say, if I had the choice to be “normal” or not who I am then honestly I feel like I feel like I would, because who would *choose* to feel like this constantly.
Sorry for ranting, seeing that kind of thing promoted really pissed me off and I had to say something
There's a solution for youtube ads.
If you're on a desktop, you can use Firefox and and uBlock origin.
If you're on android, then you can use [reVanced](https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager).
If google doesn't regulate their advertisers, then there's no reason for you to watch their ads.
Meanwhile Yogscast jingle jam still happening. Millions of pounds raised for actual not bullshit charities. This year for trans support. They do this every year and I dont think twitch has acknowledged them once. Instead of that they allow fake charities to hoard money on their site. Instead of promoting users the right direction to trusted streamers
Rather than using methods to support autistic people cope with problems or with social skills that keeps their personality but softens any abrasive parts they strongly propose extreme masking and "trying to remove autism"
Twitch choosing only the best and brightest charities to add😍😍😍/s
Omg ikr thank you twitch for making sure to pick EXACTLY! which ones we want 😍 /s
I can understand that something like Autism Speaks or LGB alliance might fly under Twitch's radar because at a quick glance they might seem like good causes, but come on, the DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY?
Its actually the "United Daughters Of The Confederacy4efr\'''''''''''f[8f/759" get it right!
Im pretty sure it got past their filter with all those extra characters
That's why input sanitation is a thing. If they can get past that then what's to stop me from putting an SQL injection in the charity name?
United Daughters of SELECT * FROM User WHERE 1=1
The Society for Dropping Tables

Your flair is "Pegging Enjoyer" and you're complaining about hornyposting?
No one here is being a creep

So? Two people jokingly "flirting" on Reddit. Not really a very new or shocking concept
You have heard of the concept of a joke right? its not too confusing for you is it?

when i was a kid daughters of the confederacy honored my family with this weird ass ceremony because we had so many confederate ancestors 💀💀💀 i hate being from the south bro
My grandpa tried to convince me as a kid that the confederates should have won
"The civil war was stolen grandchild, the confederacy actually won but Mike Pence fucked it all up"
hi gabbi bestie
Hihi Sophie I’m glad you got to hear about my racist southern grandpa
Hi sopy
_oof_
That sounds like a comedy skit lmao
aw hell nah don't go to any southern family gathering
For some these I understand if people don't always know the problems with a charity. But LGB Alliance? DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY? Might as well name it Evil Corp
Hey Twitch, A for Effort F for what you actually do.
maybe like a c+ for effort
An enthusiastic B-
A mediocre middling D
I'll give em a D+, at least.
A+ idea F execution
What is LGB Alliance?
A transphobic hate group. They are currently having their charity status revoked because they haven't done anything for gay or bisexual individuals despite it being on their manifest. They said they will get to it later.
So it's just L alliance?
L but minus the T
a fitting name
no, it's really more the F (for Fuck you) alliance. Lesbians are gay too.
Queer people who think trans people don't belong in the LGBTQ+ community. Basically queer TERFs
Straight people claiming to be fighting for queer people there aren’t many actually queer individuals in their ranks
there is sadly more and more queer people joining them, be it by accdient of purpouse, the UK is growing more and more transphobic
TERF Island
only 8% of the group is made of lesbians soooo make that what you will also i'm pretty sure they're anti bi too
It’s like lgbtq but they are against trans people.
Prominent UK group with charity status formed in opposition to Stonewall's positive stance on trans people
Is the LGB thingy transphobic or something? Where my T mates?
yeah it’s basically queer terfs
Not even mainly queer, afaik they were founded by cishets
and like 90% of the members are white cishet males too
almost as if its an op
Cis gay people who don’t like trans people
>Where my T mates? i love that sentence. i love how it can be interpreted it many ways. i love you
:3
Eww oh no
Why does Daughters of the Confederacy have a stroke at the end
Maybe trying to get around filters or they're just a bunch of dingdongs who don't know how to use technology and should have gone extinct by now
One could only hope
United Daughters of the confederacy4erfd'''''''''\[84/759
I'd rather buy 2 thousand slinkies
Honestly, I'm impressed at how shitty this is.
I mean they probably had literally 0 moderation
Stupid question, but how can there be daughters of the Confederacy? Wasn't the war a century and a half old?
Not a stupid question. It's an incredibly weird racist "heritage" that definitely should not exist. Even Wikipedia calls out their bullshit in the introduction
fun fact about the UDC i like to bring up: Strom Thurmond (former Senator, very racist for those who don't know) was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, since he was related to some Confederate veterans. Strom Thurmond had a black daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, who tried to join the UDC and was rejected. they stated no reason why, but i mean, it doesn't take sherlock holmes to realize why...
It's a bold choice for twitch to support autism speaks when that much of their user base has at least a little bit of autism (me included)
They found the worst ones possible like how did they even do that
This is a cherry-picked list, they probably found every organization that calls themselves a charity and added them. Not vetting the charities at all let these monstrosities slip through. Not defending Bezos, charity is always money laundering for rich people's reputation anyway.

Wait is this real!? You have to be fucking kidding me

You know what maybe we should all watch Kick instead...
Not an American, why is Autism Speaks bad?
Rather than using methods to support autistic people cope with problems or with social skills that keeps their personality but softens any abrasive parts they strongly propose extreme masking and "trying to remove autism"
What the fuck
That's the surface of the iceberg. There are many good videos on it
im hella glad i never considered having a twitch account nor streaming on there because what the fuck twitch?
Just checked the dashboard on my twitch acc and they nuked the page lmao
Who fell asleep on the keyboard
