Ninja Hits Back

Some of the followers of the popular twitch streamer Tyler Blevins aka Ninja have been harassing and sending abusive messages to women. On February 12th, podcast host and TV presenter Michele Morrow tweeted out about this as she wrote; “A sampling of the daily harassment I receive from Ninja’s followers. A couple weeks ago, I pointed out that his stance on not playing with women is harmful to us. He tweeted I “don’t know shit”, but his followers prove my point”. Michelle also attached a number of images and screenshots showing the hateful and abusive messages, in which Ninja was referenced.

It seems like Michelles has been attacked over her criticism of Ninja refusing to play with women. In the past, Ninja explained that he is not willing to play with female streamers to avoid viewers speculating about romances and making his wife, Jessica, feel uncomfortable. Now, popular streamer Ninja has responded to this issue and replied to Michelle Morrow’s tweet as he wrote; “Nobody deserves to be harassed or messages anything like this, so I’m sorry that happened… They are not true fans if they are attacking people. I never encourage any of my audience to harass people.” However, the issue did not stop there as Morrow followed up by another tweet saying that Ninja’s fan told her to kill herself. Then one user chimed in saying; “It’s horrible, it really is, but surely Ninja can’t take accountability for everything his 7 million followers say?”

Morrow replied into this tweet saying that she never said that Ninja was the one who is responsible for the hate she was getting. Ninja further hit back stating; “But you insinuate that by tweeting random messages of people being toxic toward you? Truly you can’t think there is any other way to perceive your tweet?” And the series of tweets between Ninja and Michelle Morrow continued.
