Can we just round these people up and give them their own island to keep them out of society?

    Terribly unhygienic, and she doesn’t seem the kind of gymgoers that wipes the equipment when she’s done either.

    The entire scientific community facepalms at this being described as an experiment.

      Remember kids the difference between science and fucking around is writing it down.

      And she ain’t writing anything down…

        If so then she has to present her hypothesis, model, constants and variables in her model, observations taken at intervals in the gym, and a graph with clearly labelled x and y-axes; eventually ending with a conclusion of whether this set of observations proved or disproved her hypothesis given the model.

        Otherwise she’s just goofing around trying to get views.

        As I understand it, there are a number of factors to Kick’s reputation. But this is my perception so bits might be wrong.

        Kick as a platform promotes gambling whether the streamers want to or not, and is known for negative attention is still attention style advertising (banned twitch steamers that now are on kick showing up at events sponsored by twitch, and making a fuss before and after being kicked out) And the majority of Kick streamers appear to have questionable social moral judgement, extreme right-wing political views, or were kicked off Twitch for persistent or gross breach of acceptable conduct.

        It was intended as an alternative to Twitch, but rapidly gained a reputation as being the place where shady streamers go.

          No, it was always intended as a gambling platform. They are running at an ENORMOUS operating loss, that gets covered by Stake, a gambling website.

          The entire business model hinges on driving traffic to Stake. Only more recently did they start pretending like they’re not just doing gambling, but whether it’s a sincere attempt to pivot or just a distraction… Well I’ve got opinions.

    Can we not post rage bait articles and commentary on clickbait actions and contribute to endless cycle of takes on takes from people who don’t matter? Or can we at least not do it in the news community?

    What a moronic story to waste time thinking about.

      Naw we’ve always striven for attention, we’re a communal species and need some sort of validation, it’s the internet that has forced us to go ever farther and preform more outrageous antics.

    “Let me get my gains and shredded in peace please.”

    Then maybe go to the gym to train, instead of performing a “social experiment”?

    It looks like she’s wearing underwear that is painted over. Would they have yelled at her were she not painted?

    Well… at least she didn’t change her skin color like I was expecting.

    Edit: Sorry… why am I being downvoted for being glad she wasn’t wearing blackface?

    This trend of women going to the gym to start shit with guys really needs to stop. This particular woman decided to escalate it further by also being unhygienic.

    She’s wearing normal bikini bottoms and a sports bra, so while weird, questionable, and probably a bad idea for clicks, I don’t see the unhygienic part of it if she’s wiping down equipment like anyone else. But that’s just me, living among people in bikinis. Having a camera crew seems more objectionable and intrusive.

    The article is ad-riddled clickbait BS. Any article that uses “slammed” as slang in the title is not worth reading. The woman is a standard attention craving influencer doing something unhygienic and acting shocked when people complain. There’s nothing to discuss here.

    Also, as a performer myself, body paint melts off with sweat and gets fucking everywhere

    I guess paint is technically, “covered.” I still think it’s super rude to try and get a reaction out of people and filming it, especially in a gym.
