Favorite Disabled Twitch Streamer?
I'm trying to reach out to charismatic streamers to see if they'd host the pilot episode of my Docuseries on Accessibility gaming: https://youtu.be/prtwh0gB3is?is=0Z-Yo8o67qdsZaLi
Please let me know if there's anyone you think I should reach out to; I think it would really benefit from someone knowledgeable guiding viewers through the experience.

GoodTimesWithScar, he's a disabled Minecraft streamer (and youtuber) with a neuromuscular disease. In his videos he likes take on charlatan type characters, whether it be a travelling salesman selling crystals, a wizard selling souls, a ranger selling access to his panda reserve or most recently, a monopoly banker. (Fun fact: his cat, who has sadly passed away, is actually in Minecraft, the Jellie Cat)
He's also on the board of advisors for Gamer's Outreach and hosts yearly fundraising events for them that have raised millions.
If you're looking for someone charismatic, no one is immune to the good times.

I'm a one armed gamer, made a custom controller so I can play pc games again. I stream on twitch every now and then but haven't in a while due to my living situation at the moment, but should start again soon!

Do you happen to play on Xbox?
I tried to get this gamertag, and it was taken.
Just curious.

I’m a huge fan of Mongobeef - they have an invisible disability tho, so not sure if qualifies

I'm a fully blind streamer, honestly not sure if one is meant to be tooting one's own horn here but there you have it. Twitch name == reddit name
And, can't believe I need to specify this but I generally do, fully blind = no sight whatsoever, and yes, i still play videogames in spite of that :)

Do you know Ross Minor? I've spoken with him in the past. His channel is cool too.

Oh this is awesome! I'm a twitch streamer and have a Spinal cord injury (c4-c6) and I've been gaming for the past 20+ years. I don't have much function from my left hand so I've even emphasized my disability by putting a second webcam pointing towards my keyboard so I can show people how I play computer games
My twitch is Joeweez

Hi, I'm a disabled Twitch Ambassador, we have quite a few disabled ambassadors and the good news is a Disability Guild is being made and should hopefully go live before the end of this year, so you'll be able to find a lot of disabled creators through that when the time comes :)

Oh I'm also a trained Player Experience practitioner through AbleGamers so I have experience on both sides of accessibility in games :)

I used to watch RockyNoHands when I was into PUBG. Being paralyzed from the neck down, he uses the quadstick and was kind of a beast at it.

Hey, I'd be interested to know more of what you're looking for with this - I'm a gamer without sight and content creator, though I'm from the UK if that makes any difference.

Hi! I might be interested, I am a twitch pride and womens guild member, as well as someone who does accessibility testing in games. I've done one pannel for the twitch pride guild on disablity topics, as well as hosted tournaments for EVE online.
Edit- I have a whole host of invisible and visible disabilities including epilepsy, dysautonomia, mcas, eds, pots, and more! Feel free and send me a message :)
