Popular Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has once again stated in an interview that he won’t stream with women to prevent feeding rumours. The 29-year old came under fire back in 2018 when he publicly stated the same.
“Accusations are what made me say that about female gamers,” the Twitch star said in a New York Times Magazine interview. “I was like, I’m going to do anything in my power to make sure that no one can even start a rumor or make YouTube clickbait videos: ‘Ninja is playing with this person a lot lately. They’re flirting. Here’s a clip.’ You know how to make that never happen? You don’t let it happen.”
“I still stand by not having a lot of alone time with a woman, in general, if you are a married man,” Ninja continued. “I mean they could be your best friend, that’s totally cool. But if I randomly start playing with a woman no one knows, people are going to start talking. So if I am going to play with female gamers, I do it with a big group so it’s not that one-on-one interaction.”
For the unaware, Ninja has currently ranked the #1 streamer on Twitch with a follower count of a whopping 16.7 million. While he primarily rose to fame playing the battle royale Fortnite, Ninja has been streaming a lot of Valorant as of late.
