We know you know what Twitchy is, but in case you didn’t know Twitch is a very popular streaming platform used mostly by gamers; like TikTok, it has its “stars” who have hundreds of thousands tuning in to watch them play “Fortnite.” (You can also stream other content, like that AI-generated “Seinfeld” parody we told you about earlier.)
A lot of people are going to be streaming “Hogwarts Legacy,” the new “Harry Potter” game that gaming site IGN gave a 9 out of 10 but included a pathetic disclaimer: “… whether it’s ethical to play is a separate but still very important question.” We were assured that pre-ordering the game was making a donation to “actively harm trans people.”
It’s a good game and it’s going to sell millions of copies. But web developer Sam Gibbs (he/him) has created a new website in which you can enter the name of a Twitch streamer to see if they’ve streamed “THAT new wizard game” which shall remain nameless.

And lock replies he did.https://twitter.com/RBPundit/status/1622695274270363679
I hope it’s everyone you follow and it ruins twitch for you forever. https://t.co/AjB8ogcn0N

This might be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my entire life. If you are this obsessed with the Hogwarts Legacy stuff, it's probably time to take a step back and reevaluate. https://t.co/9wYz4mJVug

Hey @Twitch how do you like it that a website has been created to bully and intimidate streamers on your platform for playing a certain game they don't want you to play? https://t.co/RizlRqjKPl

How is this not targeted harassment? Everything wrong with the modern Internet is found in this tweet alone. https://t.co/kgrZLidybL

Y'all would have LOVED East Germany. Any excuse to dime on your neighbor for doing something that doesn't hurt anyone.
— Beezy (@BeezyManzell) February 6, 2023
So you created a tool by which people can harass innocent twitch streamers. Sorry to tell you this: You're the villain here.

He even bought the domain name … surprised someone hadn’t snatched that one up.
Techno-Karen needs to touch grass.
