Fans have praised Ninja after he revealed that he’s “never alone with women” for this important reason.
Twitch streamer Ninja, whose real name is Tyler Blevins, talked to fans on livestream earlier this week about the situation regarding allegations made against YouTuber Ava Kris Tyson.
The content creator regularly appears in MrBeast videos but last month was accused of grooming.

A video claimed that Tyson had been involved in a number of inappropriate conversations with an underage fan over several years.
Since then, Tyson has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to apologize but insisted that she “never groomed anyone”.
She also shared that she would be parting ways with MrBeast to “focus on family and mental health”.
Talking about the situation, Blevins said on his recent livestream: “It’s f***ing simple. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what you are, I don’t care what community you’re part of. Don’t talk to anyone underage. Hello? It’s not difficult. Just don’t do it. What year is it? How hard is it?

“Even my PR person, it doesn’t matter who it is. I don’t care if they work with me, whatever. There is someone else in that room at all times. If we’re alone, I leave. Instantly.
“As for anyone else, I don’t DM anyone. I DM my boys. I DM guys in the community. There’s no private messages going on with any girls. If there are, it’s someone like Chica or people in this space. And then I let my wife know.
“If I don’t know you, I’m not DMing you. I don’t wanna get to know you and find out you’re only seven.”

Since then, fans have praised Blevins’ speech, with many of them taking to Reddit to share their reactions.
One user said: “As a prominent man he has to protect himself from potential risks to his reputation. There are a lot of people who will gravitate to him for their own self interests.

“Often those interests will not align with Ninja's. He understands a sexual scandal of any kind is immensely detrimental to himself.”

Another wrote: “I remember when he said this like 6 years ago and the internet freaked out. So far no scandals for him. I'd say his philosophy works great for protecting his brand and marriage. Guess he wasn't the idiot.”
A third posted: “I mean — this is a very noble and respectable way to go about it for someone in his position.”
And a fourth added: “This why ninja has kept his name clean for years.”
