BenRG:
I really don't think that it's safe for Mr Farmer to get involved in streaming. If he doesn't even know what is the flaming big pit of burning brimstone that is shipping, then he's an innocent that the Internet will inevitably consume.

Frankie:
These characters have better acting skills than a lot of meatbag humans on television! Their expressions really express their thoughts and feelings.

This made me chuckle. I don't think it's a "wrong" design choice and honestly not out of character but I'm not a fan of it personally.

As a side note, has Marigold's design changed too or am I imagining it? She's always been pretty but now she looks even prettier. I wonder if this is about her embracing a more well rounded life style, being social, getting out more, yoga, somebody forcing her to clean her surroundings. Hanners seems to be having a good impact and May too. And also probably Dale. I don't like them being pushy about it but I am happy to see her happy.

I think a LOT of Mommymilkers' fandom is protective, as far as it goes. So I don't imagine much shipping.

As somebody in Mr. Farmer's age cohort who is moderately successful at streaming, <brag> achieving Twitch partner </brag> in 2018 after 3 years at it, yeah, it isn't that easy. But I've always been a gamer, work in media, and have kept up with the internet's social protocols and memes, so it wasn't that much of a reach. Just had to find my niche in being more of a counterprogramming to the LOUD HYPE CREATOR and playing more strategy/simulation games with a chill community vibe.

Coming at it nearly blind could work, and being bad at games in a genuine way is honestly a good niche, but it probably takes more self-awareness and willingness to adapt than the character has shown so far. And yes, the trolls will come at somebody HARD if they smell a newbie out of their element. As I worked my own way up the ladder, I modded for several other streamers, so at this point, I've seen it all, and can shut it down fast. I'm as likely to go straight to a ban instead of a timeout these days for somebody who demonstrates they're not there for the right reasons.

It's interesting seeing Jeph's fictional take on the business, and for the most part, while the level of success shown is *really* rare, he's been getting it right while serving his own story. And yes, the concern for security is real. A close friend had a stalker show up at her apartment at 3am, and the amount of abuse that women, POC, and LGBTA+ get behind the scenes that they don't talk about openly is disturbing.

But building a healthy and supportive community of any size is very possible, and for the most part, the positives can outweigh the negatives. It's just important to recognize that streamers face a lot of pressures and anxiety that you'll rarely see, but exist none-the-less.
