One of the most attention-grabbing and controversial female hosts since her debut in the VCS is MC Remind. Originally a streamer, clearly working live under the observation of tens of thousands of viewers in the VCS, even just online, makes her quite flustered. With a charming appearance and significant efforts throughout her career, it’s evident that Remind has yet to create a notably positive impact during her work.
However, in recent days, MC Remind has noticeably reduced her presence in talk shows and interviews before, during, and after each match. Many noticed that the female host now only appears in the direct post-match interviews with players. Furthermore, the talk shows following the matches primarily feature male hosts. According to some opinions, her absence may be linked to the extremely rude comments directed at her in the chat.
Accordingly, there have been numerous comments that are extremely vulgar, harassing, or body-shaming, attacking the female host during her work. Of course, while working, the female host might not read these comments. However, if she had the chance to review her interviews, MC Remind would undoubtedly notice them.
This is not the first time female hosts of the VCS have faced issues with chat content on the VCS YouTube channel. Before MC Remind, female MC Mai Dora was also deeply upset when she was attacked for her appearance by a segment of thoughtless viewers. MC Mai Dora even admitted that “not only her appearance was shamed but also her dignity.”
At any tournament, it is not uncommon for hosts, commentators, etc., to encounter “bad audience” members. Many have even suggested a secret: just turn off the chat window to enjoy the tournament comfortably. However, even if the chat window is turned off, such content still exists, and it is a matter of audience awareness that cannot be resolved merely by the action of turning off the chat window.
