Amouranth’s appearance on G4 has kicked off a debate online after the Twitch streamer participated in a segment wearing a bikini. Some viewers are accusing the gaming YouTube channel of ignoring Xplay host Froskurinn’s viral speech on sexism.
G4TV’s Indiana ‘Froskurinn’ Black went viral in January after launching into a speech against sexism during an Xplay live show. The 30-year-old called out viewers who kept comparing her physical appearance to previous hosts Morgan Webb and Olivia Munn.
The moment trended online again months later following Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa’s March appearance on the gaming channel. The Twitch star’s bikini segment sparked a debate on social media on whether G4 had failed to stand by Froskurinn.
During Froskurinn’s now-infamous speech, she told viewers that female host’s appearances were not a part of their job. “Women do not exist to be nice on the eyes for you. Morgan Webb, Oliva Munn, did not exist to be nice on the eyes for you!” she said in January.
The segment went viral for a second time in March, however, after Amouranth appeared on the G4TV AustinShow wearing a bikini. As a part of the ‘NameYourPrice’ game, the Twitch star rolled around in a children’s ball pit while the 100 Thieves creator jokingly exclaimed, “Everyone loves playing with balls!”
Quickly after the episode was uploaded to YouTube, G4 begin trending on social media due to Amouranth’s outfit sparking a debate with users. Some were angry at the streamer’s guest spot and claimed it was an example of the objectification that Froskurinn had called out.
