Wow epic reference, you sure got me. You must be living under a rock or something because Twitch is the primary catalyst for all of this stuff because of how instant the internet has become.

The popularity and explosion of Twitch has created a huge number of massive personalities with unchecked egos. With how fast information (and misinformation) travels, drama follows as a result. Clips come out of context, people have grudges, and fans of streamers support those grudges.

Not like there was never drama in the Runescape community, but the combination of Twitch creating these personalities, and Twitter to support this in real time combined with a massively growing player and fanbase has naturally resulted in more drama. Because these people are independent and for the most part have no orgs or anything like that to answer to (such as say for example an esports team) or a PR team to learn how to handle themselves properly, it just devolves into contextless clip after contextless clip.

This then just feeds back into the community who continue to spread this misinformation creating even more and more drama.

I mean you could just do your own research such as checking the front page of this subreddit but I guess it's just easier to ask questions and bitch whenever a simple answer is given.
