Would it be possible to also upload an audio only version of the uncensored episode? I listen at work with my phone screen off, but patreon only allows audio content to continue playing with the screen off, not video. Thank you!

If you hate wine so much just like put whatever drink of choice in a non-clear wine tumbler and no one will know *like personally I don't care but ik other ppl do

the audio does kinda sound a little crunchy, or maybe that was just Maya yelling XD Favorite quote: QT: I like the snacks Maya: yeah but they're too expensive

Last time they uploaded the audio only version a little bit after the video. I’m sure this one is coming soon

#1 pod is back

Glitch

I still cant get over the fact WAI is back

Pax Man

Angel* Reese. Yeah I mean her doing it for 15 seconds after Caitlin Clark outperformed her is a tad corny but she won so let her talk her shit. Twitter is over reacting as always

Pax Man

Also no Caitlin Clark is not a brat. She is extremely humble and in an interview even made a point to say she doesn't taunt opponents and only showboats to her teammates. Which she did after dropping 40 points twice in a row and shattering an NCAA tournament record. No hate to Angel Reese as competitor you do what you gotta do to be motivated she claims she didn't like how Clark handled defending South Carolina (Iowa and Clarks Semi Finals opponent) and that she "took that personally". No need to make up narratives about these amazing women for no reason. They're competitors competing and sometimes things get heated.

VancityRen

I really appreciate Maya talking about how she feels scattered talking about what happened, it's such an insane unimaginable thing to process, and yet we still find ourselves thinking -if only I could explain this perfectly and choose the right words, you could see me as a human being who deserves empathy-. And that's the unfortunate thing about the internet, the word choice will never be perfect enough because there are people determined to misunderstand. I hope y'all know that the 30%(?) girlies in here support you and empathise and believe in you!!

Phil Hatch II

A stellar episode with lots of chuckles. Also appreciate talking about the more serious topic at the end. It’s always a penguin.

QT! You're both doing great, stop being insecure about the podcast!!! it's the HIGHLIGHT of my week, I'm being serious

Moral Panic

every time they say 'audio listeners, she ____' I laugh out loud. this podcast brings me so much happiness

Stephanie

I didn't weigh in last week but I've heard more men and women say they don't want to know if they're being cheated on than and that you shouldn't say anything

Stephanie

And it always baffled me because even putting emotions aside, my mom used to work at an OB/GYN office and there were a few instances of married women finding out their husband's cheated by getting STD's. It's such a health hazard.

Loved the ep! And definitely penguin but in googling the difference, beluga whales build a relationship & emotional connection vs polar bears who are just attracted to 👶🏼. So I do think it’s still a penguin, but leaning towards the beluga whale section because he felt like a friend which probably was his goal. Learned something new from the pod this week 😂

Matt Brummett

This doesn't excuse anyone's behavior or any systemic issues around the subject but it was something I thought about: What if women found the same gratification and hunger for naked and sexual content that men do? Do you think if that were the case that men would finally understand why women can't find the humor in having sexual or naked content be leaked about them?

Caligastia

You know, I hate you have to clarify the deepfake joke thing, or are considering never taking a fansly sponsor again. I really abhor content like mukitty's videos. They appeal to the lowest common denominator on twitch/YT, the toxic masses. People who get a hateboner whenever a streamer they don't like gets attacked, often because they're jealous, or the streamer is simply not part of their favorite streamer's clique. It's content that a hater can easily latch on to think they have some sort of argument or justification for their toxic behavior towards a streamer. In reality they're bad arguments, just statements that seem plausible to someone dumb enough or toxic enough to believe and spread on the internet with ill intentions. I hope you guys know that you do have an audience who empathizes with you, are smart enough to understand the clear difference there is in your joke/sponsor and the things which these detractors present as being the same. I know having a platform you have to care about this sort of discourse. I just wish you could give it no attention as it deserves none and just move forward trusting your discerning audience will keep supporting you. Also, Beluga whale...as someone pointed out polar bears are pre puberty, I know to many it's a sorta despicable distinction to make, but I personally hate when words are misused to be weaponized and make a situation seem worse and more scandalous.

Yeah, I agree. I don't really watch any basketball at all (I stick to hockey) but it's a sports game. I don't really think that doing anything like that is out of the norm. Saw the interview with Caitlin and she was praising Angel Reese too, so it feels like its been blown out of the water a bit by the internet.

The conversation about the deep fakes has made me so angry and sad. The idea that people would think to say anything unkind or not empathetic, to the people who experienced this shit makes me legit want to be violent.

Alice

Sorin

It must have felt like you have been violated(in a sense it actually was that) I admit that i started watching Maya because i liked how she looked(I still think she is cute and also that photo with the goat was adorable) but I stayed because I liked her persona. The thing is that many men today isolate themselves from the world by spending their lives online. They become desperate for attention including the sexual kind. Their mental health deteriorates and they resume to being creeps. Its sad if you think it that way but i think its true I kinda understand the craving of female attention because i also struggle with it All my friends are men and we dont have any girls in our social circle I tried Tinder but that was a disappointment Many girls today have unrealistic standards in men because of all the simps that gave them the illusion that they should be treated like queens while the boy lets himself being walked on by them. I hope that you guys feel more bad for them than angry because in some proportion they are the product of the world we live in Also(if anyone cares about my opinion) i dont suport sex work It striped away money, time and mental health from me years on end by tricking my brain into thinkig that I actually had sexual relations with girls that i didnt even know (besides how they looked(even that is questionable)) I dont think sex work should be illegal but i sure as hell dont support it Also selling your most intimate parts of your body online for anyone to see is not respectable Giving away your intimacy for money is not a good thing neither for the women that one day will become mothers and neither for the men that find pleasure in watching them and interalcting with them instead of getting hold of their lives I quit porn for life(already more than 6 months passed) and dont regret it Porn is pleasure with no effort and that is the worst kind of pleasure(and addicting)

I would say generally most beluga whales are also polar bears (though it's not a requirement), but not all polar bears are beluga whales. Kinda a square rectangle type thing. So let's just go with penguin. Also QT remembered to beep-beep!

Kyle Barr

One of the tricky things about Section 230 is that it makes it a lot harder to take content like this down, but it's also the reason why Twitch and YouTube are able to issue copyright strikes instead of having the entire platform shut down because someone played a song in the background. It's tough to balance that.

Adding a compressor to your audio setup could probably alleviate a lot of the issues you on this one, as that could help with leveling out the audio so it doesn't peak and doesn't sound too low.

🐧🐧🐧 also i am a lesbian viewer!! ur horror stories with men make me glad i am not attracted to them! #LESBIANS4WINEABOUTIT also the deepfake conversation always brings up so much anger inside of me. its infuriating that men will always find ways to violate women for their own sick pleasure. ive had bad experiences with men in my life and as i get older i find myself distrusting them and being more uncomfortable around them, which sucks i wish life wasnt like that but its clear that men still have a long way to go in treating women like humans, not objects.

speaking from a woman’s POV here: “many girls have unrealistic standards” - i believe it’s quite the opposite… i have had so many female friends be impressed by men doing the absolute bare minimum. your idea that women expect men to be “walked on by them” is nothing but another part of incel ideology that is spread by men online to fuel hatred against women and to find some explanation as to why they’re single. it is also a very entitled viewpoint on relationships - you are not entitled to a partner no matter how nice or respectful you think you are. that is life. trust me when i say that all women want is to be treated like a normal human being. your anti-sex work monologue is nothing but another spout of patriarchal ideas that women should not participate in sex work because it somehow offends the men around them. or because “one day they will become mothers”. again, you’re reducing women to how you think they ‘should’ be under the male gaze. we are not living in the 1950s anymore and women have more control over how they want to live their lives. for many, participating in sex work is liberating - especially on sites like onlyfans where they have full control over what they put out. most women do not want to participate in sex work and choose to live their lives privately but it should still be under no mans opinion over what they decide to do with their lives. we’re all individuals. yes, porn-addiction is a real problem and i don’t want to undermine that. but your view is very extreme in that you believe no one should support sex-work just because you didn’t have control on your own consumption of it. that is an individual problem, not the fault of the women (or men) who participate in pornography. there’s been a lot of research that shows when porn is consumed in healthy ways (not used as a crutch for loneliness / boredom, etc) it actually has health benefits for the human mind + body. obviously if you don’t want to consume it then that’s fine, it clearly became unhealthy for you and so i understand why you feel the way that you do. but casting shame on those who do participate in it is a step too far, from my point of view. overall i hope that you can reflect on some of the toxic ideas you hold and maybe seek to change some of your viewpoints. its great that you are supporting QT + Maya in their podcast but i hope you can go further in supporting women and realising that a lot of what you just wrote comes across as harmful and damaging.

Ok, first of all, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comment and I respect your point of view. There are a few things though that I would like to respond to concerning your comment because I believe you understood me wrong in some of the points that I talked about: 1. "your idea that women expect men to be “walked on by them” is nothing but another part of incel ideology" Concerning this quote in your comment - I didn't say women in general, I said "many women". I don't like to generalize and talk about half of the global population like I know each individual. Also, my intention is in no way to "fuel hatred against women"(I love the women in my life) "you are not entitled to a partner no matter how nice or respectful you think you I agree 2. "trust me when I say that all women want is to be treated like a normal human being." - I didn't generalize and I don't think you should either but I agree that there are women that want to be treated like you said(although being treated like a normal human is a pretty low standard) 3. "your anti-sex work monologue is nothing but another spout of patriarchal ideas that women should not participate in sex work" - I did not say that women should not participate in sex work (everyone should be able to do what they want). I simply said that I don't support it(not in any way including financially) anymore. Also, it doesn't offend me that there are women that sell their bodies online(it simply saddens me) 4."you’re reducing women to how you think they ‘should’ be under the male gaze" - In my perspective, the idea of being a mother is commendable and I don't thinkIit should be viewed like I am reducing women (in a negative way) to that. Anyone can do what they want and women(and men) having control over their decisions is a basic human right that is in no way bad I want a wife, not a slave 5." you believe no one should support sex-work" - I didn't say that but that is correct although everyone has the right to do whatever they want(not my business) I assure you that many men if not the majority(not sure) that consume porn are addicts to some degree and women(that make sexual content) use that addiction to make money(both parties are at blame here - Men of being consumers and Women(that make sexual content) of maintaining that addiction by being producers) 6." when porn is consumed in healthy ways" - I don't believe porn can be consumed in a healthy way(just like I don't belive that fast foohealthilyd in a healthy way - reducing the consumption is healthier but consumption itself is not healthy - this is my opinion and please give me the research that you mentioned because I am interested in it) 7."casting shame on those who do participate in it is a step too far" - aeveryone respect everyones free will, I will use mine to believe that producing highly addicting content for vulnerable people(aka taking advantage of their weaknesses) is not respectable or commendable If my opinion "casts shame" it's not my problem(if someone feels shame from my opinion maybe even they aren't so sure of what they are doing) because I am not intending to shame(I am simply expressing my point of view) My opinions are my opinions and as long as they don't imply hatred towards other people(I hope you didn't see them like that) they should not be seen as a "step too far" Labeling my ideas as being constructed under the "male gaze" and being "toxic" is (with your own word) reducing my points of view to just that (correct me if I am wrong)- That is only a man's perspective(because that is what actually is) and that it should be discredited because of that and that I can't see from the opposite sex's point of view(because I can to some degree) I am sorry that you saw my comments as generalizations but this is what I believe based not only on my experiences but also on other people around me My intentions are not to harm and you believing that because I only expressed my views is sad to me Also, I will not support or have a high level of respect for women that I don't believe had earned it(while believing that selling your body online is not respectable I also respect their decision to do so) Not respecting what someone does with a part of their life does not mean I don't have any level of respect for them as a person

im gay and girl :3

Erin

i have limited time and cannot respond at the length i’d like to but will address a few of your most interesting points: 2. yes, it’s a low standard to want. it’s the bare minimum. i believe i am perfectly fine to make that generalisation when the vast majority of women are going to want to be treated equally - it’s not a divisive issue. 4. being a mother is incredibly hard work and is commendable. when i say “reduced to” i mean that they are being limited / confined to that position whereas there are many things a women can decide to do with her life aside from having children. so when you stated, “giving away intimacy for money is not good for women that will become mothers”, i interpreted that as you setting that expectation of them having children and limiting them to that. 7. unfortunately a lot of your first comment did perpetuate patriarchal ideas and it’s merely something i pointed out, not something i intended as a personal dig. you stated that, “my intentions are not to cause harm and you believing that because i only expressed my views is sad to me” - my whole argument is that the views which you chose to express are inherently harmful, no matter if you intended them to be or not. i am not trying to upset you, but i enjoy engaging with people who have different viewpoints to me especially when i see them as harmful. i would be more than happy to send you research through discord/twitter if you are genuinely interested. my discord tag is catburys#9735 and my twitter is @toryhaterr. feel free to reach out if you would like to continue the conversation outside the Wine About It Patreon comments. have a good day!

Loved the episode. Just wanted to say that I'm one of the gay guys watching the podcast. I kind of assumed that the majority of the audience for Wine About It are either girls or gay-dudes (or other LGBT identifying people) lol. It's kinda crazy to realize how vastly populated the streaming space is with cis straight men. And definitely Penguin, that guy was weird

I know I found you through Hasan and you were a doorway to a new world of entertainment I didn't know existed. Keep being you. Strong, kind, creative, authentic. Girl you got this!

Glad to hear Atrioc is doing so much to right his wrongs and beyond. I never really watched him or his content, but from the response from other creators close to him like yourself I get the vibe as QT said “good person did bad thing”. I hope you both can be friends again. Life is too short. Another great pod to listen to on a forklift ❤️

Beluga whale is definitely just a tactic Penguins use to make their victims lower their guard and make their abuse seem ''normal''. I think that teacher was definitely a creep. To me it sounds like he was in his ''testing boundaries'' phase before he decided to go further.

Nettles

I thought Maya's statement on the deep fakes was very well articulated and the parallel about the violation she felt was very powerful. People who think that they are overreacting clearly lack empathy, their reactions reveal a lot about how ingrained the objectification of women is, how our bodies are viewed as objects for gratification. It feels very defeating.

I appreciate a lot how QT discovered Wrestlemania with an open mind and how she could communicate its childish charm to Maya. Some people attack the sport by calling it fake but like Maya says in most ways it makes it better: the athletes are supposed to take care of each other and enact the violence in a controlled consensual way. Also somehow the over-the-topness and occasional cringe is also somewhat fit to QT's sense of humor.

I am not done with the episode yet, im at 1:09. I just wanted to express that not only as a small streamer, but as a woman/feminine person, i can't express enough how meaningful it was that QT, you were so vulnerable and did that initial stream being emotional about the deepfakes. I know that there was a loud majority of people that bashed you for it. But despite there being a majority of women who have been assaulted, it feels like people are quiet or not taken seriously about the real emotional effects it has on people. it can still feel so isolating. Idk if it's weirdly parasocial to say, but just as a victim seeing people you look up to unfortunately openly go through these things BUT still be successful and push thru is inspiring, because the industry and living as a woman in this society can feel so daunting and hopeless. thank you both for sharing with us despite the shit that happens

Hi, am a queer woman that watches wine about it! As a queer watcher, weird to put it like that, I don't think I've ever felt the urge to sexualize you guys, that seems to really be a men's issue, think that is because they've always been mostly allowed and encouraged to do so in the outside world and naturally it would be worse online where there's not the same idea of consequence since you're not face to face, if it makes any sense. It is so disheartening to see you guys having to overexplain stuff because otherwise your very clear takes would be twisted into something completely different. Have to say, I quite prefer watching the podcast format rather than watching streams, having to deal with chat even on the best days can be frustrating as a viewer, can't imagine dealing with it as a streamer. I've watched wine about it since it's beginning and appreciate it sooo much. all love (small note: the lighting overall looks much better and like cohesive when it's night on qt's side)

Michael Simmons

Hearing Maya describe seeing deepfake porn of herself in a way that reminded her of finding out that she was raped in college really opened my eyes to how the situation felt. That's truly awful. I was always on the side of it awful bad but hearing that clarified how it truly. Thank y'all for being able to speak about it.

QT and Maya have changed the Twitch scene for the better in so many different ways that there isn't a way to express our thanks. QT, although the DF situation was a nightmare and you regret going live, it was SO IMPACTFUL for me (and many of my friends) that you spoke up. Many of my friends (m and f) that I've made over the years streaming felt so much more comfortable talking about this and speaking out because of how vulnerable that stream was. It opened up a really important discussion about consent that honestly some people werent ready to have (but it's needed!). The only reason people love to hate/be weird with you guys is because they want attention. Being a girl is hard when everyone loves to yell and speak over you.

I will say, i had guy friends that went to an alternative high school and they made friends with a teacher who would sometimes take them to go get food or starbucks sometimes. Obviously with the additional context you gave that dude was definitely a pedophile, but being some level of friend with your teachers shouldn't be outright concerning

Love QT casually talking about her EX boyfriend who is 100% a pedophile

I wish more people would listen to what you guys had to say about the deepfake issue, it was very insightful and could probably get some people who dont think its a big deal to understand why its definitely a huge deal. My initial reaction was very similar to yours, and im not even an atrioc viewer. It was hearing from the perspective of the women involved that helped me understand how and why it was so awful

WHY ARE THERE THREE SEPARATE TITLES FOR THIS ONE EPISODE! Pls don’t do that!

Juliana McKenna

Qts too critical of the last episode. Tbh it’s the only episode I’ve gotten thru and loved. The Hasan one was my fav before. Or the newest streamer awards episode.

The scroll down thing is in after effects. I did it for school once shameless plug I would do it again!

Penguin. The discussion on deepfakes is really sad the way some guys choose to just ignore how it makes the affected women feel and make up hypotheticals about how they might feel. It probably isn't much solace, but I would guess most guys who do that are kids. There's a lot of ignorance online from teenage boys who go down the incel pipeline because they're going through puberty and dont think beyond their jealousy of women getting sexual attention that they themselves aren't. Can only hope they talk to more real women and grow out of it. Also section 230 is a good thing because without it social media and even twitch couldn't really exist, it would cost too much in moderation because the website could be held liable for the content on it. The issue is really the fuzzy laws I think on deepfakes, uploading sexual deepfakes should be a crime federally. You would think it would be covered under the nonconsensual porn laws that get revenge porn taken down, but because it's so new the legal system might not have caught up yet.

Loved the episode but please, for the love of goodness, let the wine breathe! 15 mins with the cork/cap off (wine dependent) and the flavours start coming out 🍷red organics tend to be less vinegary in my experience P.S. 🐧

penguin. and man, the discussion around deepfakes is incredibly depressing. you can never win as a woman on the internet (or anywhere) because standards are held so high for us :/ also the response by male streamers was definitely something. i think a good point to make is that all streamers have some part of their audience that don’t care for their personal life and watch strictly for the content they produce (“we don’t care start playing ____” andies). but for female streamers there’s extra layers where they’ll have first time chatters (and sometimes regulars) who come into the stream and don’t care for the woman, nor the content they produce. they just want to see that woman nude because they don’t see women as humans, just objects - and are under the assumption that we want to be sexualised constantly like it’s gratifying to us lol. male streamers just don’t have that experience with the average viewer and i doubt most will ever understand or accept it. (btw minority demographic here but let’s go lesbians!!!!!)

Moral Panic

I don't know how to phrase this well but I hope it comes across. I felt a little sad when you said the % of male viewers was that high. Like "ugh they're invading this space too". But then, I got a little happy because it means there is a big number of men watching this show, actually listening to two women and shaping their mindsets and thoughts from your input. This isn't to put pressure on the kind of conversations you have, you can and should have fun talks, or more serious ones like today. I'm just hopeful that these men can learn your perspective, and I feel like that is a big source of change. Also, I am a gay man, we are here and we love you two. I hope this comment didn't make you feel pressured, that isn't my intention. Penguin btw

If 77% of your audience is male then that’s very telling. IMHO the( potential ) female audience may not want to hear QT and Maya talk about situations ( like sexism in the twitch creator community , fears of being harass in public, stories of rape or death threats ) because, I think most women in the USA have a story or two of the sexism they experience if not on a monthly basis that they might not wanted to be reminded of it in the slightest. I know I maybe generalizing why women aren’t watching / listening to (unintentionally at times) a funny Duo like Qt and Maya but, then again with such gigantic volume of content of online media to consume in today’s Internet that it’s probably easier to overlook (ANY) twitch content creators as potentially worth some people’s money and attention. Keep up the great podcast and work you ladies are doing!!
