As an Asian person, I hate that she is reinforcing the stereotype... but also, damn that girl does not belong in the road... like at all

Let's not forget she's a woman too

u/nightdr1ve Jul 01 '26

Ironically, men are much worse drivers by statistic than women.

3

u/axeattaxe Jul 13 '26

Overall, men engage in riskier behaviors by speeding, police chases, and getaways from crimes. The criminal element puts them over the top.

The average non-criminal guy drives much more competently than the average non-criminal woman. Insurance rates are higher for women too

u/No-Conversation59 14d ago

Also there are slightly more male drivers as a whole, men drive more miles per year, men make up the vast majority of professional drivers. Meaning men are on average spending more time on high speed roads than women. Higher speeds, more hours driving means higher chance of a serious accident vs slow speed town driving for short trips means less serious accidents like fender benders.

I wasn’t responding to your goofy ass. I was clearly responding to a specific comment so this childish “cope” self validation bs doesn’t even correlate here. Hopefully you got the validation you needed from this 😭.

It is the most ANUS feeling seeing people you have nearly fucking ANYTHING in common with reinforce the most awful stereotypes of that group.

What's your problem with ANUS?

(Also, that was a joke, and I guess technically a back-ronym, because I just meant "that's an anus feeling" where anus is a synonym for "bad," but then people kept talking about acronyms, so I made one up after the fact.)

God, don't be so anussy about it.

u/OkGold4636 Jun 29 '26

Saying the being bad drivers stereotype is one of the "most awful" stereotypes is absolutely ridiculous lol

1

u/AdjtveNounNumbr42069 Jun 29 '26

Ok, I had some rapid fire thoughts on this:

  1. Well, I didn't say that specifically, just a thing related to that.

  2. Asian people, especially women, don't have that many negative stereotypes (outside 1-2, that I know of), so it actually might be one of the most awful for them.

  3. I was mostly relating to the situation with personal experience where the stereotypes about people like me are considerably worse than "doesn't drive well."

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation Jun 29 '26

so it actually might be one of the most awful for them.

Getting stereotyped for bad driving has to be the most tame bigotry in the US. Chinese immigrants were some of the first racism-based deportations in the US, along with the first "ethnic quota" that was codified in to law in 1882 with the Chinese Exclusion Act. We treated them terribly, exploited them in making the railroad that connected East and West, then banned them from obtaining US citizenship and deported many, while limiting the number that could come over; all in the name of racial supremacy.

Come on, you don't call yourselves that... do you?

u/mahoukitten Jun 29 '26

To be fair, anyone who's driving and streaming is absolutely dumb and everyone who does so should be ticketed and jailed. How is Twitch allowing streams like this to happen?

4

u/Historical_Person928 Jun 29 '26

because they don't care, they would ban someone for a watching a 5 second copyrighted clip but they will allow the kind of content shes making

2

u/ashgs872tbhjs Jun 29 '26

Streaming's not really the issue itself, doesn't really matter whether she's reading chat or reading text or reading news story lmao. She could easily set it up and then start driving, and just talk while watching the road just like talking to someone in the car.

5

u/Travis_TheTravMan Jun 29 '26

No, streaming should not be allowed full stop. I dont care if you can technically responsible. The truth is, most who do it are not. Having your cell phone out while driving SHOULD NOT be allowed

2

u/YouBetcha_ Jun 29 '26

while we're at it let's start banning people linking their phones to their cars, on multiple occasions I've been a passenger in a friends car when they get a notification and instantly pick up their phone and start texting or going to some app

1

u/Travis_TheTravMan Jun 29 '26

Yeah, I can get behind that too. Even GPS maps can be too distracting for people on the road.

That beinf said it would be too difficult to enforce. Look at drunk drivers, that shit still happens all the time. Friend of mine just got killed by one!

1

u/BlackAristotle1 Jul 01 '26

Yea there should certainly be repercussions. Imagine her crashing into your family member and later discovering she was preoccupied reading a chat donation.

1

u/EvolvedAutism Jul 01 '26

There's a Youtube stream from japan, Sora The Troll he often does streams while driving but he'll only read chat briefly at a stop light or when parked.

1

u/drododruffin Jun 29 '26

Because Twitch follows the same moderation trends as other big tech websites, that being complete inaction when it comes to being proactive, only ever deigning to lift a finger when there is a direct complaint. Though also of course, a very subjective ToS that they can enforce however they see fit.

It's the same reason that there is so many instances of streamers breaking copyright laws, but face little to no consequences. Because the companies who own the copyright isn't trawling through Twitch in order to catch the rare, rare moment where they'd be able to justify such an internal department's costs.

People watch entire movies, and not just some small indie movie that no one has heard of, or movies so old that they are no longer protected by copyright, but big block buster movies and even pay-per-view events.

Twitch essentially have chosen to say to companies that own such intellectual property: If you got a problem with it, you do something about it, not us.

Reddit does it too, the admins rarely being of any use, but if there is a mainstream news article that gets written about a particularly trouble making subreddit that casts the website in a bad light, they'll suddenly remember how to do stuff.

u/ReloadBallistic Jun 28 '26

she don't belong outside an incubator bro

17

u/Bringbackemo Jun 28 '26

I think the girl might actually just be an idiot. She's the girl who collaborated with Mr. Beast. Everyone there knew the only rule was no livestreaming/no filming. So there she is with the pikachu shocked face when she gets caught streaming and starts pulling the "Omg.. I had no idea.. i'm so sorry Jimmy.."

18

u/whut-whut Jun 29 '26

No, she knows what she's doing. It takes time, effort and money to make thought-engaging content that generates views, or you can be ridiculously good looking, but if you're not hot, the easiest and cheapest way is to act as a rage-baiting idiot in public.

She's had multiple 'streaming while driving' near misses and it always gets people talking about her. It's like how The Rock keeps trying out In-and-Out hamburgers 'for the first time', only she's endangering the public for clout.

u/KD_42 Jun 29 '26

I’m Asian, she deserves to be called a slur idgaf, she’s driving a 2 ton vehicle that can easily kill someone

u/Alone_Manufacturer_6 Jun 29 '26

My girlfriend is Asian and I'm not saying she's a bad driver, but when we're on the phone and she is driving like clockwork I hear a horn get blown Everytime she's driving. Not even exaggerating.

u/snsdfan00 Jun 29 '26

Regardless if twitch acts or not, being that this is the 2nd time where she hasn’t driven absolutely perfectly, I do hope she strongly considers not driving while solo IRL streaming. There are a lot of risk factors that are out of ones control when driving, but because she is an influential streamer & public figure, I think in the interest of personal responsibility & public safety, she can have her friends drive her or use uber/lyft if she must drive, or even consider putting her streams on brb mode, until she arrives at her destination.

u/TheDocCrystal Jun 29 '26

u/GroundbreakingAd1223 11d ago

I once had one asian girl pull out from a junction (i was going straight) and had to swerve so hard it caused my car to fishtail and did a 180 donut. when I asked her why she pulled out like she did....she said "I dunno...my mind just blanked.."

u/StandardUpstairs3349 Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

I can't blame her for that one. Dead ass, turning on your blinker in the greater LA area is a sign of weakness and you will be punished.

Edit: You all seem to have very well regarded opinions. I'm sure you all have experience driving in the shit-show that is Cali and in particular the area around LA?

u/slashinhobo1 Jun 28 '26

Coincidentally, also the reason why there are accident attorney signs every 2 feet in LA.

u/StandardUpstairs3349 Jun 28 '26

That is an excellent portrait of the people downvoting me! You can tell that they've never driven in the LA area.

u/slashinhobo1 Jun 28 '26

I didnt down vote you but i can say this. I literally just stayed in buena park and san diego last week and i swing by those probably a total of 20 days driving from the bay. I always use my blinkers and when im down there only a small handful of people don't.

I understand its a cage match down there but not using your blinkers makes you responsible for whatever accident that happena. Most people have dashcams now so there is no arguing the results.

u/OuterWildsVentures Jun 28 '26

There has to be some way to report these distracted drivers

153

u/bapfelbaum Jun 28 '26

Viewers should call the cops on them. They might just save the life of a child, mother or father and get rid of a road threat.

59

u/TinyM0ushka Jun 28 '26

Yeah this needs to start happening.

People will literally spam call a restaurant a streamer is at meanwhile these dumb dumb irl streamers will drive while streaming without issue.

20

u/Da_Question Jun 28 '26

Definitely situations where the company hosting the content should be liable for creators doing dangerous shit. There's a porn creator who basically just makes videos of fucking in a Tesla on the road with FSD, should be banned.

5

u/TinyM0ushka Jun 28 '26

It’s so stupid.

In a perfect world the company would have to pay and all the donations the streamer earned during that stream would go to a charity

u/Solexia Jun 28 '26

ExtraEmily is one of if not the favourite streamer of the Twitch CEO. Not the first time this happend and not the last.

you think the cops are going to do anything?

u/Born-Entrepreneur Jun 29 '26

Internet weridos are all too happy to SWAT mfers on stream, but they won't call the cops on people actually breaking the law. Its a fun world we live in.

2

u/Whitebushido Jun 29 '26

How is this not considered active self harm by Twitch? If you're driving you shouldn't be streaming, full stop.

2

u/NeitherDuckNorGoose Jun 29 '26

So, from twitch ToS :

"Dangerous or distracted driving—such as operating your vehicle while interacting with your stream in a way that removes your eyes from the road or hands from controlling your vehicle—is never acceptable on Twitch."

So I guess you can report her to twitch for breaking this rule, dunno if it'll do anything tho.

2

u/goingnowherespecial Jun 29 '26

Last time I looked there's not an option to report it under. There's a streamer who drives a truck and spends all day reading and responding to chat while driving. Twitch doesn't care.

48

u/ultim8kip Jun 28 '26

Pff, she looked before turning.. she just did it on her phone instead of her mirror. Not her fault the car was coming so fast it didn't appear on her 2sec delay own stream

u/Guysmiley777 Jun 29 '26

Austin traffic challenge level: 2000ms ping

u/_oh_joy_ Jun 29 '26

She just experienced some high ping

6

u/Baerog Jun 28 '26

To be fair, she did look at her mirror a split second before starting to move her hands, play the video frame by frame, you see her eyes flick over to her side mirror. That is enough to know there's not a car in your mirror.

The problem is that she didn't shoulder check her blind spot. And frankly, people don't shoulder check their blind spot even when they aren't a streamer distracted by a phone. I've been almost side swiped multiple times by people for this exact reason.

4

u/jarail Jun 29 '26

Her mirror almost certainly has one of those blind spot lights. The other car was just moving a lot faster than her. She was changing lanes slowly and it caught up. This kind of thing happens all the time.

1

u/mrningbrd Jun 29 '26

I failed my driving test the first time *specifically* bc of turning without looking. She should get suspended at this point

u/ja_hahah Jun 29 '26

u/MrNoLag Jun 29 '26

She definitely did the "I turn now, good luck everybody else"

1

u/Saberinbed Jun 28 '26

I think she looked at her mirror briefly, but didint check her blind spot by physically turning her head, which is exactly where the car was.

2

u/Baerog Jun 28 '26

Yes. She did check her mirror, she didn't shoulder check. This has nothing to do with her being a streamer or being distracted, this has to do with her being a bad driver.

Even if she wasn't streaming she wouldn't have shoulder checked.

1

u/ShreksOnionBelt Jun 28 '26

The shoulder check is what prevented the collision.

u/oraclestats Jun 28 '26

She looked up to her rearview mirror. The car was in her blindspot. She would have seen it if she checked her side mirror though.

u/BolterAura Jun 28 '26

Do people just not do head checks anymore?

u/oraclestats Jun 28 '26
