Can we just round these people up and give them their own island to keep them out of society?

Excuse me, miss, "Your childish need for attention, feelings of inadequacy, and mommy/daddy issues are hanging out."

Who wants bodypaint all over the gear?

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 55 points 8 months ago

Terribly unhygienic, and she doesn't seem the kind of gymgoers that wipes the equipment when she's done either.

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What a surprise, she's a streamer on Kick.

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What’s the difference between kick streamers and twitch streamers?

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As I understand it, there are a number of factors to Kick's reputation. But this is my perception so bits might be wrong.

Kick as a platform promotes gambling whether the streamers want to or not, and is known for negative attention is still attention style advertising (banned twitch steamers that now are on kick showing up at events sponsored by twitch, and making a fuss before and after being kicked out) And the majority of Kick streamers appear to have questionable social moral judgement, extreme right-wing political views, or were kicked off Twitch for persistent or gross breach of acceptable conduct.

It was intended as an alternative to Twitch, but rapidly gained a reputation as being the place where shady streamers go.

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, it was always intended as a gambling platform. They are running at an ENORMOUS operating loss, that gets covered by Stake, a gambling website.

The entire business model hinges on driving traffic to Stake. Only more recently did they start pretending like they're not just doing gambling, but whether it's a sincere attempt to pivot or just a distraction... Well I've got opinions.

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

See. I knew I was missing details. This makes it so much worse.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

You go to kick when they kick you out of twitch.

[–] Haquer@lemmy.today 8 points 8 months ago

Gambling, mostly.

[–] Gazumi@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The entire scientific community facepalms at this being described as an experiment.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

"Experiment" in this case only means "how many views and thirsty comments can I get?"

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Remember kids the difference between science and fucking around is writing it down.

And she ain't writing anything down...

[–] Ech@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I mean...recording it is a form of record keeping...

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago (1 children)

People demand attention so much nowadays. It is unfortunate.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Naw we've always striven for attention, we're a communal species and need some sort of validation, it's the internet that has forced us to go ever farther and preform more outrageous antics.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Well... at least she didn't change her skin color like I was expecting.

Edit: Sorry... why am I being downvoted for being glad she wasn't wearing blackface?

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn't downvote you, but I did wonder if you thought she was a chameleon.

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I thought it was an X-Men (Mystique) reference

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

This is now a thread on who can find the most wild interpretation.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I thought maybe she was wearing a morph suit and was gonna morph out at some point.

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 9 points 8 months ago

It looks like she's wearing underwear that is painted over. Would they have yelled at her were she not painted?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

This trend of women going to the gym to start shit with guys really needs to stop. This particular woman decided to escalate it further by also being unhygienic.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

She’s wearing normal bikini bottoms and a sports bra, so while weird, questionable, and probably a bad idea for clicks, I don’t see the unhygienic part of it if she’s wiping down equipment like anyone else. But that’s just me, living among people in bikinis. Having a camera crew seems more objectionable and intrusive.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The article is ad-riddled clickbait BS. Any article that uses "slammed" as slang in the title is not worth reading. The woman is a standard attention craving influencer doing something unhygienic and acting shocked when people complain. There's nothing to discuss here.

Also, as a performer myself, body paint melts off with sweat and gets fucking everywhere

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I guess paint is technically, "covered." I still think it’s super rude to try and get a reaction out of people and filming it, especially in a gym.
