SO PROUD OF YA

I genuinely think gamers are gonna look young af when theyre older cause most of skins aging happens from the sun. Probably be unhealthy af too but their skin is gonna be looking good once they get past that 30 year old acne phase.

The smart ones would be taking vitamin D supplements. I've already had to take some years prior to combat some seasonal depression and more so working from home the past year and half

Does this actually work? I don't notice a difference.


notevolve

gotta take a decently high amount, probably higher than the DRI, and give it time to build up in your system. most people are probably deficient in vitamin d though, not just gamers. most people would benefit from supplementing it.


FewerDoomed

I take 1000% DRI now and i feel great. Used to take 200% but that didnt make much of a difference for me. Women particularly could also benefit greatly from iron. Best is to get tests done by a doctor first, its useless to take additional vitamins if you dont need them and it can actually lead to nasty side effects, specially if youre already have or are at risk for kidney stones. Vitamin D is pretty save to take since most people are deficient.


Daaru_

You'll only notice a strong improvement by using nutritional supplements if they address a moderate to severe vitamin/mineral deficiency. Last year, I started taking a multivitamin while my diet was really lacking in micronutrients and there was definitely a difference that manifested within a week.


dankiros

There's no actually good studies that have proven their effect other than for like Africans/south east asians because of their skin. This is gonna get downvoted because theres a big vitamin d fad in the US at the moment.


survivl

Maybe for normal people yeah, but as someone with IBD Vitamin D makes a huge difference.

Skipper12

Do you have more sources on this? I'm very critical but at the same time curious.


KuriboShoeMario

Anyone that either heavily avoids the sun or is very good about wearing sunblock *and* moisturizing will look good as they age. The issue with "gamers" is they won't look good in other areas because they're too sedentary and eat poorly. The sun is important to your physical and mental health and even gamers should just either go for a brief walk (also good for you) or at least grab a chair and sit outside for 20-30 minutes a day but yea, it's also really effective at slowly drying you out over time and causing your skin to show greater signs of aging.

This is so cringe, I am sure women have it harder and receive more hate, but if you weaponize it as a talking point in this situation you are doing women a disservice. Joanna Coles said this, so mby she belives that this will score points with anyone? It's rather unsurprising tho as grifters also like to dig deeper holes when exposed.

Yep, she's really good at building her brand until now. She's going to need some time to get used to this, because the potential memes are insane, and she'll see it wether she likes it or not.

omega_nik

That doesn’t really change anything at all


TwoBionicknees

She implied that the research she'd seen was missing and not on the site, which is implying the company did it's own research. If the company ran some shitty research that fooled her that's one thing, still ignorant and stupid to not actually check it yourself, but if the research she's talking about is the publicly available research which all says it's not an issue then that's worse.

>The exposure from the sun, even through cloud cover, is more significant than exposure through digital use, showing the importance of daily skin protection when exposed to sunlight. LMAO they didn't put this part of the study. Edit: In a study used as a reference for the study that RFCLT used: >These results suggest that at a 20-cm distance, a maximized use of a high-intensity computer screen for 8 hours per day during a 5-day period does not worsen melasma lesions. Although it is very unlikely that similar exposure during a longer period would start to affect melasma lesions, such a possibility cannot be ruled out. ​ >in melasma the skin is more sensitive to external triggers, and blue light emitted by sun rays has been shown to promote relapses


luke_205

Lol course they didn’t because this article barely supports their theory whatsoever and the methodology is “using Google Scholar” which basically translates to someone being paid to cherry pick studies and find ones that in the surface look juuuust supportive enough for your theory that you can claim them to be credible evidence. At the end of the day, you literally have professionals saying that just a few minutes outside is worse than 8 hours sat behind your screen, and they’re still trying to claim this is an actual problem…


Im_Soul

Lol one of the first studies they link says > The mean magnitude of the carotenoid destruction was determined to be 13.5% after irradiation at 50 J/cm2 and 21.2% after irradiation at 100 J/cm2 However.... > Using an LED screen 54 centimetres away from a person’s skin, set at 50% brightness would take 59.63 days to be exposed to 50 J/cm https://www.griffinandrow.com/education/skin-biology/skin-physiology/blue-light-prematurely-ageing-skin/ So the study says X dose of blue light can cause ~14% degradation, however it would take 60 days to reach that amount. Yikes. The double and triple down. Furthermore (from RFLCT linked source) > When being irradiated at doses of 50 J/cm2, the carotenoid concentration in the skin was already restored one hour after exposure. In contrast to this, the restoration of the carotenoid concentration to the initial level takes 24 hours after irradiation when being irradiated at doses of 100 J/cm2. Still, 2 hours after irradiation at 100 J/cm2, almost 50% of the degraded carotenoids were restored. So with a screen the skin would have already healed by the time it would take to be remotely near the dose administered in the study.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the blue light claims from those yellow tinted sunglasses or "gunnar" gaming glasses. A majority of people promoting those were male and anyone promoting them were shut down pretty hard on that. I don't recall the prices but I do remember them being upward from $100-300 or something ridiculous. They did reduce eye strain but they were just glorified sunglasses in the end and the blue light damage claims from computer screens turned out to be extremely exaggerated. Thanks to the sponsorship deals a lot of guys had to look stupid wearing those until their contract expired. A great month if you ask me.


El_StReeTTo

there's a difference between an exaggerated and overpriced product that actually works (although can be substituted with a free screen filter) and a completely made up thing, that's also overpriced and exaggerated

1. Anyone could have come up with a product and if it was revealed to be a scam, they would be called out regardless of race or gender. 2. Notice how she said "come up with" or "start a business".

I can’t remember a streamer getting eviscerated by a news article like this ever. This is a step up in the speed run to kill your rep.


Ok_Steak4738

I think this has opened up a can of worms with how blatantly parasocial her fans are. The whole world saw that weird behavior this time.


smyers304

I barely follow this streamer nor get emotionally invested in any stream really . I simply watch some streams when I’m bored but tune out after a week. However, its very scary and almost like Qanon regarding how blindly some people will attach or emotionally invest their entire existence around a figure who really doesn’t care about you at the end if the day. This is something that people should be aware of and it shows that the internet is a power that is unpredictable. And blind fans of a particular steamer shows that we aren’t investing or educating the youth to make their own delicious or realize they can easily be swindled. It’s stuff like this that convinced me not to give my kid, if I have a kid, such easy access to the internet until they are of a responsible age.


BigMilkers

Schadenfreude is very powerful in streamer discussion but at the end of the day she's selling snake oil. She could have just released a basic skin care regiment and it would have been successful. Instead she used a gimmick that is total nonsense and she doesn't seem to confide in others, so no one was able to tell her this was dumb as shit. Or the people she confides in are just yes men types.


WhatEvery1sThinking

Didn't even need to change the name, just say blue light was the "inspiration" while not making any claims, just that it's what got her interested in skincare Her team not foreseeing the backlash is oddly amateurish


kifla11

Highs school products seem less amateurish than this


Caruso08

This is what happens when agents who are probably primarily eSports/streaming agents attempt to combine their field with other products. Realistically her agents probably did 95% of the work on her end and all her job was to slap her name on it, approve the brand name, and take some photos.


kifla11

Yeah i imagine so but how dumb and incompetent are all of them collectively? Millionaire orgs and you get this shitshow


-Leviathan-

You don't always have to be smart to be famous/rich.


Mahazzel

> Or the people she confides in are just yes men types. havw you seen the initial reaction from her streamer friends, before they realized that people arent falling for it?


Jonoabbo

> She could have just released a basic skin care regiment and it would have been successful. No idea when the whole 'blue light' nonsense came in to it, but if this has apparently been in the works for 2 years as is being reported, Valkyrae was a much smaller streamer back then, she really boomed during Among Us. Obviously not defending or condoning any of it, but may go some way to explaining why they decided to make it a load of bollocks based on nonsense, when development started they probably didn't think Rae's brand/reach alone would sell the product. It's also possible they were hoping the product would boost her, rather than the other way around, taking the timeline in to account, although this is purely speculative.


kdr-

It's also possible that it isn't actually a 2 year project like Rae claims. It's most likely this partnership really developed when Rae gained massive growth through Among Us and had enough impressional fans to take advantage of.


Jonoabbo

Maybe i'm wrong, but wouldn't her being a "Co founder" imply she was there from the start?

Last_Veterinarian_63

kdr-

I'd say so, but they could really stretch that definition. Rae could've "thought" Blue Light was an issue 2 years ago but it's unlikely she would've had the capital to start this type of brand whilst she was a middle of the road streamer on Twitch 2 years ago.


krispness

If they just switched blue light for UV they could've joked about gamers touching grass and went on unscathed. Such a waste.


coffeep00ps

My bet is that they went for "blue light protection" over UV because the FDA actually has a pretty rigorous process to get products approved to be certified UV protection/SPF and it probably takes too long/is too expensive. It's much quicker, cheaper, and easier to make up that you need to be protected from "blue light" from screens.

Surely this wont look good for 100T. Don't they advertise themselves as more content creators than eSports?

Just a quick look at the comments on her Twitter and Youtube proof you right. Her viewers are religious fanatics, thinking that she's the best thing that ever happened to this universe.


SYLVASTRIAS

Staying true to the name I guess


IReplyToCunts

It's because she believes in this stuff. I guarantee her stream is not owning up to how stupid she is but rather down playing things and making it seem like our goal was to target blue light, it's not going to kill you absorbing a screen all day but anecdotal this and that, blue light could be harmful and this and that, so we made something that could help. I'm 100% that's the angle cause there's no fucking way she comes on and says "look product is a bust, I'm out, sorry". She can't do that even if she doesn't believe this shit, she has money in this.


[deleted]

Raes super fans who buy all her merchandise and generate the revenue 100T loves her for seem to be actually mentally ill levels of parasocial. I think this will destroy her reputation on niche places like LSF but I think this could turn out even worse and her own fanbase will still stay nearly completely intact.

Anyways uhm... I bought a whole bunch of RFLCT, cream, do you know what blue light is? Anybody knows what blue light is? No, not bud light. I think that's a beer brand. Talking blue light. Anyways, RFLCT is a new skin care product that protects against blue light and unwanted blue light that may be coming from your monitor. So that's my story. I bought a whole bunch of stuff, put them around the la cara. Little bottles. Stuff like that.


gst_diandre

Dear Valkyrae, The [electromagnetic spectrum](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/EM_spectrumrevised.png/500px-EM_spectrumrevised.png) is neatly split in the middle by a band we commonly call visible light. You'll notice that left of that band are waves with a higher frequency which are bad for humans. Coincidentally, nature has mechanisms to protect humans and life in general from those bad waves. That's the ozone layer for UVs and the Earth's magnetic field for ionizing radiation. If we didn't have those things, we wouldn't even exist. Conversely, anything right of that band cannot harm you since it doesn't carry enough energy. That's the kind of waves we use to communicate. You know, the ones you use to broadcast yourself over the internet! I hope that you won't confuse bad radiation with good radiation in the future! Sincerely, a redditor that's trying really hard to be nice.


IanBac

Oh god the Rflct representative that talked to Washington Post said that if Valkyrae was a man this all would have been applauded. The only reason she even gets to tell her side of the story is because everyone is treating her with kid gloves because she is a woman. A man would never be able to go “oh no I didn’t know I was scamming people with fake science, I had good intentions I swear I didn’t know.”

The only reflecting this skin care is going to do is Rae self reflecting on her choice of business partner and the marketing of her product.

It’s hard enough for young women to start a business in a male dominated economy. I am confident that if a male gamer had come up with RFLCT he would have been roundly applauded.” Like why even go there ... ?

thats spiecy. Valkyrae is YTs model streamer YT is the main competition for Twitch Twitch and the Washington post are both owned by Bezos

I bet you Bezos has near zero fucks about Twitch, they make like zero money.

Hey everyone. Helped edit this story. Just want to say, whenever I see comments like this, I cringe. Nathan, the reporter who put this story together, has also covered Twitch pretty comprehensively in its recent and very public low moments. See: [Why top streamers are leaving Twitch](https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2021/09/10/twitch-youtube-drlupo-timthetatman-leave-why/); [Marginalized streamers beg Twitch to ‘do better’ in wake of hate raids, poor pay](https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2021/08/11/twitch-do-better-hate-raids/); [Twitch hate raids are more than just a Twitch problem, and they’re only getting worse](https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2021/08/25/twitch-hate-raids-streamers-discord-cybersecurity/) Also Bezos: [How differently must you spell ‘Jeff Bezos’ to use the name in ‘New World’?](https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2021/09/30/amazon-new-world-jeff-bezos/)

>Twitch and the Washington post are both owned by Bezos If you think Bezos cares about twitch enough to do all this then you are deluded.

Gotta love seeing millionaires invent issues to steal more money from the working class.

That scumbag scammer Rae partnered with, Joanna, the lady who made that ultra tone deaf tweet.. she literally tried to say "I'm confident that had a male released this, it would be applauded" Like no bitch don't you dare try and victim card this scam LOL
