I am really not the kind of person who watches other people play games and scream on Twitch. Nor do I find streamer drama interesting. It feels like the gaming (used loosely) equivalent of following Instagram influencer news. For this reason, I’m pretty late to hearing about this.
But I was scrolling TikTok earlier today and came across a video from creator Juliana Rosette. She started off by saying she was driving down the road in a town near Austin, Texas when she saw women in orange uniforms handcuffed and chain-linked together. A man was following and recording on his phone.
As she started looking into WTF this was, she realized that it was a livestream called “Last Woman Standing” for Kick, created by Lorenzo Adam’s NerdBallerTV an explicit pornography website, and sponsored by the likes of Amouranth. I guess it’s some $10,000 contest themed after an all-female correctional facility, which already sounds like gooner bait. While exploiting women for views is already cringe, the reported conditions of the women who competed in “Last Woman Standing” is what really horrifies me.
The alleged torture and humiliation in the “Last Woman Standing” stream
In Juliana Rosette’s video, she lists a bunch of alleged situations that the women found themselves in after signing a contract and joining the competition. This includes being handcuffed to a wall regularly, having to beg to use the restroom, not being given a sufficient amount of food, and being forced to do manual labor and fight one another.
One woman was even reportedly denied her medication and eventually had a mental breakdown. This same woman was allegedly chained to a bed at one point, where one of the “guards” exposed himself to her. Another was thrown into a pool while handcuffed.
Juliana also brought up moments where blatant racism and humiliation were part of the livestream. While Juliana kept using “allegedly” in her video, you can easily find these moments all over YouTube and Reddit, including a black female contestant being whipped by streamer Moxie, who also used slurs and put on a fake southern accent. She later claimed she was forced to do this.
“Their boundaries and spirits had been so systematically broken down over days of isolation and distress that logical consent wasn’t even possible,” Juliana said. “I cannot get the image of these women with their heads shaved, chained to the wall, out of my head. They looked completely dissociated and like empty shells of themselves.
“It was horrific.”
This is just Juliana’s opinion from watching the content herself, but even shared clips on X have received similar reactions. People said it was exploitation and torture, and wondered how it was even allowed on Kick. Someone also brought up that it felt like BDSM fetish content, which is not what the women signed up for.
I agree.
“You shouldn’t be exploiting people for $10K”
There are some comments out there that claim the women signed a contract. They agreed to be in the competition. There are plenty of allegations that the contracts never stated that there would be sexualized content or torture, but this can’t be proven. Instead, let’s look at what we can point out about this victim blaming argument.
The women who were featured in the “Last Woman Standing” competition were not very popular creators. These were not streamers like Amouranth who get thousands of views and have millions of followers. Lei_the_fairy, who had a mental breakdown during the stream when asked to lick someone’s spit off the ground, has 1.4K followers. And some of these followers are probably from her appearance in the contest. The winner, Nanapips, is a bit bigger at 14K, although this includes newer subscribers as well.
Even Nanapips only gets about 100 to 200 viewers per stream, according to Stream Charts. These women are not making bank on Kick. I don’t know if they are even getting money at all. But if they are, it’s not enough for much of anything.
If the women on “Last Woman Standing” were willing to endure physical labor in the summer heat wave, humiliation at the hands of random men, and being deprived of food, sleep, and showers, I have to assume they are desperate for the $10,000. Because I’d probably laugh out loud if someone wanted me to do even one of those things on stream for $10,000. And if they can be exploited for $10,000, then this is exploitation. Plain and simple.
As one person said: “If people are willing to do this for $10k, you shouldn’t be exploiting them to do this for $10k.”
There’s a reason none of the women have any trace of “Last Woman Standing” on their socials after the competition wrapped up. Not even the women with adult-oriented profiles.
NerdBallerTV finally sees small consequence, but it’s not enough
After days of streaming the torture, harassment, and exploitation of these women, NerdBallerTV was finally banned.
For three days.
And it wasn’t for the torture, harassment, or exploitation of women. It was for “violence,” according to NerdBallerTV.
At the time of the suspension, around August 3rd, NerdBallerTV planned to appeal the ban, claiming no contestant would be paid if they couldn’t stream the finale. That’s definitely not something you want to hear after getting your hair shaved off and eggs thrown at you as you do manual labor.
You can look at NerdBallerTV’s Kick account right now and it’s not banned. The prison stream page is also still active.
Even worse, you can see on various websites that this is the second time that NerdBallerTV has done a “Last Woman Standing” prison-themed torture stream. This means that it’s been done before with no consequences and will probably happen again, or at least something similar.
Why is Kick allowing stuff like this?
So let’s check out Kick’s Community Guidelines. Under sexual content, we can see that “suggestive themes” are permitted as long as all adults are consenting and age-appropriate. Kick does not allow pornography or nudity. It also doesn’t allow sexual extortion.
Hmm. I think it can be debated if the women involved in “Last Woman Standing” are consenting. Maybe at the beginning. But after being put in isolation with no food or bathroom, then forced to sleep in dirty underwear and get whipped by an adult content creator, I’d say it’s hard to really say if they are willing participants anymore. Most of them are even seen fighting back in the clips shared online, including BrieWyld protecting herself against Moxie’s whipping.
I’d also argue that this content is sexual and could count as extortion. They are inviting OnlyFans models and porn stars in to act out BDSM scenarios while wearing skimpy outfits. They allegedly forced the competing women to only wear a bikini when washing themselves. They are preying on the porn-rotted minds of young boys who get off on controlling and humiliating women. And the theme itself is taken right out of a porn scenario.
The fact that Kick is playing dumb to this context just because there isn’t full-blown nudity is quite shocking. Well, on its own.
Kick is very well known for bending the rules and allowing some pretty wretched content on its platform. In an attempt to compete with Twitch, and be seen as the alternative, cool choice, Kick has often allowed things that Twitch claims it doesn’t. This includes suggestive, adult-oriented streams and gambling. There are also plenty of problematic streamers on Kick who have not been banned after doing controversial things on camera.
Who isn’t scarred by the 12-day livestream by Raphael Graven, or Jean Pormanov, that had him getting abused until he died on stream? This means Kick allowed the livestream – full of violence and abuse – to continue without any interruption for nearly two weeks. The men who killed him were arrested, but Kick is still going strong.
Kick has become the safe haven for degenerates and their young, impressionable viewers. And I think the platform sorta likes it this way. It sets it apart from the “goody goody” Twitch and makes it favorable for all the weirdos out there that want to do things like exploit women on stream or talk about their love of Andrew Tate.
I’m just so sick of Kick. I don’t want to see any more about it. Ever. The clip farming accounts on X acting like all the staged videos are real makes me shudder. Hearing about the awful content creators harassing the public is annoying and exhausting. Seeing disgusting streams that use women’s bodies to make money for talentless, lazy hacks is horrifying. Knowing it exists is just sad. Knowing people want it here is sad.
I hope this raises more awareness about the horrible porn-riddled “Last Woman Standing” stream, because I don’t feel enough people have really heard about this. This is something that is all over the internet forever, for young boys already getting sucked into the red pill world to see. Because Kick not only allows it, but embraces it.
I’m glad there are people out there feeling disgusted, calling out this lazy, exploitative account for torturing women. At least not all of humanity is doomed. But the fact that this kinda stuff is so normalized that nobody really even heard of it or cared… That’s scary.
Kick, do better.
