Some of you picked one of the worst possible targets for the “she hates men” storyline.
I’ve spent years writing about personal development, chronic illness, and mental health, including men's mental health, inside gaming spaces. Men have reached out to tell me those posts mattered to them.
So no, I am not here because I hate men.
What brought this wave of hostility into my orbit was simply saying that women belong in gaming too.
That should not be controversial.
What fascinates me is how quickly some people decide a woman is the enemy for saying that.
Because I have spent years watching men struggle.
Not just with loneliness, depression, grief or purpose.
But with cultures that tell them:
"Don't open up."
"Don't be weak."
"Don't listen to women."
"Don't show empathy."
And if they do?
They're called soft. They're called weak. They're called pathetic. They're called names by the very people claiming to care about men.
I've never believed that was healthy.
Supporting men does not require excluding women.
Caring about women does not require hating men.
The world is more complicated than that.
Last post I swear!
I can’t get over that there were people excited to meet me 😭 wanting photos or to sign stuff. I heard someone say “that was so cool!” as I walked away.
I can’t believe this is my life. I am so incredibly blessed.
Goodnight everyone 😭🖤 I’m a happy bean
Looking back on the last 4.5 years of my streaming journey - being here at this exact moment has me so emotional.
The girl I was 5 years ago had completely lost faith in herself. I lost everything I worked so hard for, and felt like there was no chance at rebuilding my life in a fulfilling way. I felt like I was always going to “settle”, and never achieve anything I wanted to because of the decline in my health.
Dead by Daylight changed that for me. It changed everything. It gave me my life back. It helped me find my purpose again, even if it looked different than what I envisioned for myself before I became this ill.
Even during this journey I’ve lost faith in myself many times. My illnesses constantly made me feel like I didn’t have what it takes to be in this industry. And it continues to get in my way time and time again to this day. But despite that, and no matter how many times I wanted to throw in the towel, I kept showing up and working hard - all while doing so within my own limitations.
And now I’m here. At the Dead by Daylight 10 Year Anniversary party as an official Iridescent Creator.
I always wanted to be a Fog Whisperer…I never thought it would actually happen. Nobody will ever see the sacrifices I’ve had to make and what I’ve had to do to survive what goes on behind the screen just to make it here.
Standing here is proof to myself that I did something I never thought I could. It’s proof that no matter what life throws at me, I will prevail out of spite and to show others who may be in my shoes that you can still fulfill your dreams 🖤 even if you had to say goodbye to some along the way.
Thank you to everyone who has been here with me. And happy 10 years to the game and community that changed my life 🎈 @DeadbyDaylight #DBD10
Trans adventures, but also concerns? : 🏳️⚧️
Okay so, I went to my appointment, all is going well with my HRT, we are seeing great progress and I am healthy... however
Is it normal for an Endocrinologist to :
- Compliment your looks multiple times
- Check you out from head to toe at least twice
- Give you a small tap on the ass and laugh it off when you are trying to show some of the changes you are noticing on your body (Fat redistribution)
- Wanting a tight hug at the moment of leaving his office. (I was offered a handshake when I first arrived)
Maybe I'm reading too hard into it. He didn't say or hinted anything that could be understood as something more, but part of me kept a lingering feeling that it was awkward.
However this whole thing made me wish that my Endocrinologist was a woman instead of a man, but I don't know how easy is to find another LGBT+ friendly doctor where I live. My country doesn't even have gay marriage so it's a bit though to find stuff like that.
Nothing else happened though and I'm back home and alright and will go out to exercise to clear my mind in a bit.
I think future meetings will be strictly online though.
Part of me feels stupid typing this. But I wanted to hear your thoughts. Maybe I'm just overreacting. 😓

With Spyro: A Realm Beyond on the way, I'd love to know how long you've all been fans of the purple dragon.
Whether you came along in the original Spyro run, the reboot, the toys-to-life run, or more recently in Reignited.
So, which era did you play your first Spyro game?
With a decade of horror behind us, we want to push the horror further with a visual update, new game modes, and more.
It's still early in the development process, but here's a sneak peek at what we've been working on behind the scenes.
EVERYONE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOO AND TELL HIM THAT HE'S THE BESTEST BOY EVER!!!
He's 4 years old today and I've had him for 3.5 years 🥹 this was my first time raising a puppy, and even though we had our challenges, he makes me so happy every day 👻🖤
Hi, I’m Jazz.
I love most all genres of videogames, but JRPG’s/RPG’s are my absolute favorite of them all.
I’ve gained a few more people to follow along my account & I just wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself.
I’ll be posting about:
