Why this mom has to moderate her daughter’s Twitch Stream

29 July 2016

A 52-year old mother, Maureen Jomha, has become one of her daughter’s most prominent Twitch moderators, reports Kotaku.

This follows the lewd comments, her daughter was receiving due to her low-cut tops while playing games on the popular streaming service.

“At first, I was surprised. She was what you’d call a ‘boobie streamer,’ where you’d attract viewers to your stream—trolls—who come to harass or hit on female streamers.

“I was really quite fascinated by her strength and humor. The way she handled trolling won people over, including myself,” Jomha said. “I don’t need to feel protective of her.”

What she thought were ad hominem attacks against her daughter, Jomha said, aren’t “hurtful to her. She doesn’t take it seriously. It’s the internet. It’s anonymous. 99% of it isn’t meant. They’re trolling!”

“We can have more open conversations about things now,” Raihnbowkidz said, “because I’m so crass on stream. That barrier isn’t really there. We can talk about pretty much everything.”

Raihnbowkidz has subsequently cut back on the low-cut attire in order to focus more on her gameplay. She is currently ranked as a Gold 5 League of Legends player.
