Recently, it is undeniable that the phenomenon of hot girls and streamers frequently dressing provocatively and acting in a lewd and controversial manner has gradually become one of the hottest trends, even a formula for success that many are adopting. Of course, everything has two sides. The surge in views and likes comes at the cost of potential penalties that carry the risk of “unemployment” and countless criticisms from the online community. But it must be acknowledged that the online community, or more specifically, the viewers, are the main contributors to this issue.
Why is this happening? Let’s break down the issue simply and logically. What is the purpose of these beautiful streamers and hot girls acting this way? Surely it is not for fun or to satisfy their own ego. Specifically, it is a way to easily make a highlight, attract the attention of viewers and fans, or in business terms, it is a PR method, a branding strategy that makes a strong impression. And as long as this method continues to be effective – converting to followers, likes, and views – there will definitely be many who will follow suit. It is understandable, as the time when gaming skills and the charm of guiding viewers to electronic games were the decisive factors that every streamer must have is long gone.
Viewers can criticize, can throw stones, and may argue that such actions are inappropriate, or worse, that they are vulgar and tarnish the image of other streamers. But more importantly, they still watch, still follow, and inadvertently contribute to helping these female streamers achieve their intended goals. They watch out of curiosity, they watch for visual pleasure; there are countless reasons given, but they probably don’t matter, as long as there are views, that is enough. And for streamers, views and subscriptions will ultimately translate into profits and revenue. You can criticize, you can be angry, but as long as you still care about and follow these antics, you will still be a part of their growth.
Where there is demand, there is supply – therefore, it is not too difficult to find solutions to minimize or even eliminate this issue. Instead of half-heartedly boycotting, let’s take strong action, call for and report those inappropriate and controversial cases from these trickster girls. Of course, the responsibility does not solely lie with the viewers; it is also due to the regulations and rules of many livestream platforms that are still not strong and determined enough. It is also difficult for them, as most of these trickster girls are golden geese, bringing in massive views and subscriptions, contributing to the platform’s revenue. And with the reasons mentioned above, the reality of female streamers diligently flaunting their bodies and being provocative on air is likely to continue for a long time.
