It is not a counterattack of Shuangwen.

It can be called the "call of Duty" series of national-level FPS in Europe and America, with a large number of loyal users. It can make Microsoft salivating, spend a lot of money to buy Activision Blizzard, can make Sony worried and frequently block acquisitions, but can not give the majority of female players a comfortable gaming environment.

Opening Mac in COD means that female players have a strong heart to face foul language or all kinds of targeted discrimination.

I am afraid that female players from all over the world have the same feeling. It is obviously a sharp but interesting topic for many FPS female players in Europe and the United States. Twitch anchorwoman SteffyEvans takes this as her own feature.

SteffyEvans's live content is dominated by shooter games such as call of Duty. After live broadcast, it will run its own video channel. Its game level is quite good, but it has long been mediocre in all aspects of popularity.

However, since running her own TikTok,SteffyEvans, she has gradually grasped the current trends and feelings of the Internet, and she continues to focus on COD, with the theme of "female players fighting male players who make certain discriminatory remarks"-stories often start with a game of SteffyEvans showing that they are female, and then the male players on the channel are passionately greeted by "soft words".

Next, SteffyEvans will prove himself with his excellent game level, sometimes a little success, sometimes Carry, always able to crush his teammates or let the opponent's "mouth king" break the defense in the settlement of each game.

Facts have proved that Shuangwen routines apply everywhere, and foreign netizens obviously like to see the rise of big women on top patriarchal channels like COD.

Considering the environment created by ruthless gamers, West Coast civilization terms such as "FXXX" and "SXXX", which are familiar to Chinese netizens, pop up frequently, but these are not enough to constitute a spiritual shock to us. In SteffyEvans's videos, she is often asked to shut up for no reason at the beginning, followed by a series of gender-specific words on her face. Each sentence alone is enough to cause bloodshed in other places.

The way SteffyEvans herself treats all this in the video is also why fans love to watch her-she occasionally fights back with foul language, but most of the time she doesn't mind what's in front of her and laughs sharply, as if the emotional reaction of some male players is just a common little boy fooling around or trying to achieve her goal at all. As for the words of the defender, like a sword stabbed on the cotton, it seemed to have completely lost its lethality.

In this creative path, SteffyEvans is full of new ideas. Recently, combined with a sentence she is often scolded, she has come up with a new way to play.

This sentence is old, the appearance rate among female players is quite high, and the words are concise, no dirty words, but very insulting: Make me a sandwich (make me a sandwich).

The process is quite simple to say. SteffyEvans specially announced to the audience that she would comply with the demands of male players who did not intend to talk well at the beginning of a live broadcast.

Whenever someone mentions this sarcasm, she immediately runs to the kitchen to make sandwiches, stores them, captures everything by a camera mounted in the kitchen, and then goes back to the game. See if the players who mocked her achieved the desired results after driving her away, and even if they need her to come back to save them.

As a result, the trailer video received millions of views on TikTok, and countless netizens and players supported her behavior, which once attracted the attention of the media. The fact that it can attract so much attention has a lot to do with the sentence itself.

Many netizens in China may have seen such a horror short film called "Make Me A Sandwich".

The plot tells the story of an old couple with a wide gap in family status. the husband is gluttonous and lazy, never leaves the sofa in front of the TV, often speaks ill to his wife, orders her to do all kinds of housework, and asks her to bring sandwiches to satisfy her hunger. In the end, the husband gradually becomes a withered bone after eating sandwiches mixed with stone and glass, but the wife also falls into the cycle of making sandwiches forever and loses herself.

The short film explains this classic defamatory slogan in a sense. The phrase "Make Me A Sandwich" was born and first prevailed 30 years ago. It existed for a long time to express contempt and contempt, but because it fits well with the stereotype that women "should go into the kitchen", it is popular as a way to insult and annoy women.

Similarly, there are many derivative meme, the core of which is "you (female) belong to the kitchen" because it contains a typical male chauvinist perspective, with a strong sense of contempt and power, which extends other uses. For example, programmers are familiar with the well-known joke "Sudo Fixes everything" in Linux system, which is also used to express the power and irrationality of Sudo commands in Linux.

So it is not difficult to understand that this sentence can often offend women. Of course, such remarks also caused a counterattack, starting with another successful young woman in recent years. Jade Hameister, a young girl born in Australia, successfully crossed the North Pole at the age of 16 and set foot in Greenland and the South Pole at the age of 17. At a young age, she became famous all over the world with her excellent exploration experience, on a par with a group of historic explorers. She once attracted the attention of the media all over the world, and was invited to give a lecture to tell her experience.

This avant-garde and deadly hobby and behavior, no accident attracted the "fatherly" voice. When a video of her speech was posted on Youtube in 2016, some people questioned her feat with the help of others, and what is even more surprising is that the phrase "Now make me a sandwich" often appears in her comment area.

Instead of refuting them with words, Jade Hameister walked all the way to the South Pole, took out his prepared sandwiches and took pictures, inviting skeptics on social media to say, "Why don't you ski 600km for 37 days and come here to eat my sandwich."

It is not difficult to see that SteffyEvans's counterattack strategy is similar to it. On the day of the live broadcast, SteffyEvans was really in a hurry, and the unknown male players had no idea what a casual mockery would lead to. The female anchor who identified herself to Kai McGrady during the game casually triggered the keywords "sandwich" and "kitchen", and then her character stopped acting with a sob complaint from her.

Under the camera lens on the other side, SteffyEvans slipped his slippers all the way to the refrigerator, took out the bread and cheese, quickly assembled them, and then put them in a box and stuffed them into the refrigerator for more than a minute.

This series of operations were repeated dozens of times during the five or six hours of live broadcast, and SteffyEvans became more adept at making sandwiches, but the situation was always different when she returned to the game. Not surprisingly, sometimes she did cheat her teammates, whether teammates or opponents satirized her at the beginning of the game. The minute she disappeared would cause her teammates to lose the whole game, or lose their numerical advantage, and eventually lose the game.

But there are also many highlights. For example, SteffyEvans made sandwiches twice in a game, but eventually she got back in time, reversed the market on her own, and took down her sarcastic opponent. As the time spent making sandwiches is getting shorter and shorter, she has more and more time to control the game, and mockers are getting slapped in the face more often.

But consistent with many previous Carry results, both opponents and teammates, SteffyEvans did not win convincing recognition at the end of a game, but another impromptu mockery mixed with ugly words.

After the live broadcast, SteffyEvans said she made too many sandwiches and would donate the food to the community and share it with homeless people.

Such a scene is not worth mentioning to SteffyEvans, who has met minors who are more vulgar than most players she has met, and suspected pedophiles-a 37-year-old male player who mistook her for an underage girl and threatened to rape her. This made SteffyEvans's rare face ugly, but fortunately, friends went online together, and everyone recorded the live scene and reported the player.

This special live event broke the 500,000 mark on SteffyEvans's TikTok account, and many people got to know the female player for the first time. It is not hard to imagine that some people like the selling points of SteffyEvans and are keen on the story of the big hostess, but others complain about it. Netizens do not understand where this is like Shuangwen, let alone why a "big lady" like her obeys the man's order to "go and make sandwiches".

SteffyEvans is naturally well aware of the situation and situation of female players in COD-the so-called "Make me a sandwich" is just the tip of the iceberg, and the words are the gentlest. After all, she claims that out of every ten games, seven games will encounter targeted ridicule.

So while making sandwiches mimics Australian explorer Jade, it more or less illustrates the core of the horror short film Make Me A Sandwich-sometimes women have to compress their time and self to obey increasingly stringent orders and demands. For those who ridicule female players at the inexplicable start, though, it's just a stereotype.

Fortunately, most of such frequent cases occur on the Internet. SteffyEvans understands people's outspoken words. After shaking hands with cynics, she said that the Internet allows many people to talk nonsense, but it is polite and normal to meet everyone offline.

But this does not mean that verbal injury has not been formed. The so-called act of making sandwiches is just in the hope that more players will understand that hurtful words do have a real impact in the real world. The way to improve the game environment is long and long, and more than one side's tolerance is always needed.
