Story | Racist language is everywhere in online gaming, but even though over 80% of gamers face harassment, developers haven’t done anything to stop it.So we helped gamers do what developers wouldn’t. By turning Twitch’s built-in clip function into a weapon for gamers to fight racism themselves, we worked with the organization Melanin Gamers, and created The Watch — gaming’s first community watch.To join, you just had to clip racism when you heard it on Twitch and DM it to us on Twitter, where we used it to put pressure on developers to take real action, all while building a community of allies that continues to grow to this day. |
