Twitch streamer Maghla shares account of online harassment

Twitch streamer Maghla has provided another instance of online harassment and cyber bullying. It is no secret that being a woman on the internet, that too with a fairly large community, is a challenging task.

The 28-year-old posted an elaborate thread of tweets detailing an account of cyber exploitation, misuse of images, and online harassment. She said:

"I'm tired and it's time for me to explain. I've been streaming for years and open my mouth about 10% max of the problem, because apparently you have to ignore it for it to pass."

She then went on to post various screenshots from several platforms where her images can be seen morphing into lewd content. She shared a screenshot of Redditors using her image to make obscene and s*xually suggestive content:

She also provided instances of her images being misused on adult websites, while stating that users have been found to be making offensive remarks such as the "R-word":

Maghla also provided her take on Discord servers. She added:

"There are discords dedicated to fake n*des and guys j*rking off to streamers with sharing of live screens + fake montages + s*x rp."

Furthermore, she revealed that she needs to constantly ban users who make offensive remarks during the livestream. She posted:

She concluded her rant by reminding her viewers about the challenges of being a female streamer on the platform. She, along with many other streamers, have gone through similar harrowing experiences. Maghla is among the few to have spoken up against it. She added:

"what I'm going through, all the streamers are living it and we keep our mouths shut 24 hours a day because we also take "you got pierced by your body/because you're a girl/you're beautiful" while behind we take the content more on a daily basis that we would do without."

It remains to be seen if the moderators and programmers of the aforementioned platform will take any stringent steps regarding the gross and vigorous misuse of images and information.
