F1NN5TER

F1NN5TER has streamed video games on YouTube and Twitch. He would sometimes crossplay as friends' Minecraft avatars as events, and later on-stream as an e-girl character named Rose. In 2020, he began a campaign called "Girl Week" (eventually "Girl Month"), in which he would dress as a girl for a month if he received a certain amount of money in donations. F1NN5TER grew his hair long and gained popularity on TikTok in clips where his e-girl aesthetic included long false eyelashes and thigh-highs adorned with bows. On 7 February 2023, F1NN5TER was suspended from Twitch for three days. While Twitch did not provide a reason publicly, F1NN5TER said that they privately said the ban was for "prolonged touching of female presenting breasts". According to GameRevolution, Twitch's rules for clothing have long been criticised as vague, and the platform also has a "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category. F1NN5TER announced an intention in December 2022 to donate to an organisation, and in May 2023 chose GenderGP, the only private provider of healthcare for transgender youth in the United Kingdom. He donated $50,000 together with a friend and viewer of his, which Watermark compared to Hbomberguy's fundraiser for Mermaids in 2019. == Transition ==

Many of F1NN5TER's followers viewed him as an egg (someone who has not yet realised they are transgender). He attracted many transgender followers who shared their experiences, which he said helped him better understand his gender over the course of two years. but that his cross-dressing had attracted more trans viewers, and that through them he had learned more about the transgender community. F1NN5TER added that he is bisexual and closed the video with brief conversations with his parents, who expressed their support. F1NN5TER for a time dated another transfeminine content creator, Ashley, who described the pair as a "one-two punch", with his videos leading people to her videos on practical aspects of transitioning. The pair's streaming led to parasocial issues in how fans perceived their relationship. == Other endeavours ==

In season 2 of the MC Championship, a Minecraft tournament, F1NN5TER was on the winning team in events 16 (August 2021) and 23 (July 2022). The same week as his 2023 Twitch ban, F1NN5TER was quoted on the feminist website The Mary Sue for what he said in response to the criticism of men wearing women's clothing that was expressed by the right-wing advocacy group PragerU: "But what if it's reeeeaaallly fun". In addition to his streaming career, F1NN5TER is a model on the online video chat platform OnlyFans. ==Notes==
