Ninja still fears gossip over streaming with women – PC Gamer


Back in 2018, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins said that he doesn’t stream with women outside of group settings to avoid rumors and harassment—for any woman he might stream with, himself, and his family. Today, Ninja’s views on the issue haven’t changed. It’s “astonishing” what people say to women online, he said in a new interview with The New York Times Magazine, and sees his policy as a way to avoid trouble, not a problem in itself. 

“Accusations [of flirting or infidelity] are what made me say that about female gamers [in 2018],” said Ninja. “I was like, I’m going to do anything in my power to make sure that no one can even start a rumor or make YouTube clickbait videos: ‘Ninja is playing with this person a lot lately. They’re flirting. Here’s a clip.’ You know how to make that never happen? You don’t let it happen! That’s what was going through my head. I still stand by not having a lot of alone time with a woman, in general, if you are a married man. I mean, they could be your best friend, that’s totally cool. But if I randomly start playing with a woman no one knows, people are going to start talking. So if I am going to play with female gamers, I do it with a big group so it’s not that one-on-one interaction.”
