Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is addressing critics on Twitter who are accusing him of sexism toward women on Twitch.<\/p>
Ninja emphasized that people misconstrued his words almost entirely, and that his marriage is something that he values greatly. The “gossip” that he’s trying to prevent is meant to stop the internet from assuming he’s flirting with other female streamers. Fellow Twitch streamers Ali “Myth” Kabbani and Imane “Pokimane” Anys have fallen victim to endless clickbait and rumors<\/a> over a romantic relationship that is unclear to the public eye.<\/p>
“While I understand some people have implied my views mean I have something against playing with women, I want to make the issue I’m addressing is online harassment and my attempt to minimize it from our life,” Ninja said on Twitter today<\/a>. “It is something that affects all streamers, especially ones that make their relationships public. I wanted to bring attention to this issue and my comments should not be characterized as anything beyond that.”<\/p>
Earlier this week, Ninja addressed trolls on Twitter<\/a> to defend his stance on the matter. “I see nothing wrong with wanting to limit as much drama in my relationship as possible,” he said. “Especially where every little thing I say is turned into a clip and clickbaited on YouTube\u2026 I say nothing negative about female streamers\u2026 [I’m] a married man who has everything to lose and the internet never helps.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
