Cover Story: While a growing amount of scholarship analyzes the structure and organization of Twitch.tv as a platform, with some studies attending to the platform’s marginalization of women and BIPOC streamers, few studies investigate the challenges that Twitch presents to disabled streamers. This paper addresses this gap in the literature, considering the ways in which Twitch offers disabled streamers unique economic and community-building opportunities while simultaneously presenting barriers to disabled streamers. This paper argues that Twitch reifies forms of neoliberal-ableism through its prioritizing of individual labour, precarious forms of monetization, and targeted harassment against disabled streamers to ultimately create a kind of integrative access where disability is tolerated but not valued. View this paper
