Twitch tells women to “get back in the kitchen” on International Women’s Day with tone deaf tweet
Twitch faced backlash for its International Women's Day tweet promoting an Overcooked 2 tournament, which critics deemed tone-deaf due to the common sexist insult "get back in the kitchen." Despite the game being chosen by the Women's Guild, the decision was seen as harmful in a male-dominated industry already facing toxicity towards women. Alternative game choices like VALORANT or Helldivers 2 were suggested to better highlight women in gaming.
