Spending time with my daughter has been illuminating. I can't believe what she has to put up with. No doubt there has always been poor behavior, but there is no way it was this overt and widespread when I was younger. It's not just online either. Not at all.

Parents taught their sons to be respectful back then. Times have changed.

A sad story indeed.
I notice the Huffington Post article seems to have neglected to mention the numerous Twitch streamers who use Twitch as a training ground for OnlyFans and actively pander to and encourage the type of sexualization serious Twitch streamers find so creepy and distasteful. This type of streamer is commonly referred to as a "Twitch Thot".
Here's a list of the top 12 Twitch Thots of 2021, and what they're famous for-

If Twitch itself was concerned about it's own reputation or about the safety and well-being of serious female streamers it would ban the streamers whose main attraction is real-time soft-core pornography and not gaming, but they won't because their viewership numbers would take a considerable hit if they did.

Like so many things, disappointing but not surprising.
I suspect its gotten worse over the past few years due to the availability of tooling to make fake porn.
