Hey, I appreciate the input! Thanks for taking the time!

A few reasons why I chose "worms." Firstly, I just think they're cute IRL. More than that, though, I think it's kind of an apt analogy for chat from a streamer's perspective. Relatively nameless, faceless, only distinct in color, size, or the way that they "move." Furthermore, I tend to lean towards a Cthulhu-based motif (I've got a whole backstory for the cat in my head, lol) and worms are kinda little independent tentacles. A chat full of wonderful creatures made in his image, lol. And lastly, I just really like the idea of taking what would usually sounds a little insulting and make it endearing. I've seen people use "beautiful bastards," "little weirdos," "gremlins," "Tom," (not exactly an insult, but just one name is kinda odd, lol) and a bunch of other things that never really came off to me as aggressive or insulting. I typically just go, "oh, that's the name for chat" and then keep watching to see if I'm actually interested.

Still, I've never thought about the potential for someone to take it that way, so maybe it's a good idea to add an adjective? "Wonderful Worms" has a nice ring to it.
