The Book of Kels

Hey, if you're looking for streamers who won't come out with racism during a "heated gaming moment", here are a few on Twitch that I like:

DistractedElf
Day9tv
Bluejay
RissaRants
LobosJr
INeedDivGames
FuzzyFreaks
SimplyUndrea
Drewmega
GamingOnLinux
LetsIntelligame
8BitDylan

I've never heard anything racist, or indeed overtly sexist, transphobic, etc. out of a single one of them. Most of them run tight ships in their chat too.

@Nezchan Sips too!

@Gargron Not familiar with Sips. What's their thing?

@Nezchan I still can't make sense of that nonsense. He spent months saying he wasn't a nazi and saying that he'd stop Hitler jokes because he didn't want to be associated with that stuff, then drops the n-bomb. That is dumb.

@CarrierLost It makes sense since that kind of racism is endemic in Certain Gaming Circles. So he absorbs all the same casual "it doesn't mean anything" racism that runs through 4chan and the like, who make up a big part of his audience.

@Nezchan Been watching the Day9 learns DotA series and it's amazing how much positivity that guy radiates even when a game is going disastrously badly.
Show threadThe Book of KelsSep 11, 2017

@salameleon He's a really positive guy in general. Talks a lot about statistics and is only too willing to pass on his experience about being a streamer since the early days.

LobosJr is kinda similar in being positive in the face of terrible gaming experiences. He does a lot of Dark Souls (and other games) challenge runs, and there are times he just goes after a boss again and again, all with a smile and ready patter.

@er1n She doesn't talk much during her streams, huh? My preference generally runs to more chatty streamers.

@Nezchan huh, that's not been my experience, generally
she's pretty chatty?
Show threadThe Book of KelsSep 11, 2017
@er1n Huh. I checked out some of her videos and she spent a good deal of the time quiet. Maybe I picked the wrong bits?

@Nezchan hell yes go watch Undrea & INeedDivGames!!!!!

(the others are good too)

Also my 2 cents: I watch Bryan Kibler a lot for Hearthstone, and he manages to be A Very Good Dragon Boy too

@Nezchan
DistractedElf <3 I think I still might be a mod for her, it's been ages.

Surprised Adam Koebel ( https://www.twitch.tv/adamkoebel ) isn't on the list too :D

@Draekos He's good, and I was watching the D&D sessions he ran for a while, but I just couldn't keep up with them. I might follow him and check in now and again, since you brought him to my attention.

@Nezchan He keeps his youtube updated well. I love his letsplays because they're often chocked-full of social and game design commentary (and cute queer shipping!)

his pen and paper games are hosted by ItMeJP's Rollplay channels. While JP's an okayish person, I can't suggest his channel much with people like Koibu being featured on there too.

@Draekos I mostly hear about JP via Day[9]'s stuff, but never really felt that compelled to watch him.

I've got about as many people on my viewing list as I want right now, but I've added Adam as someone to go check in on from time to time since I know he's got good presence that appeals to me.

@Nezchan don't blame you at all! Glad I could put him on the list. <3
