Digitalization has opened a new era and Sociology has got a new set of tools to analyze and survey society. Here I am using one of the tools (text mining) to unfold gender disparity / gendered conversation in an online video game live-streaming platform and to reveal the potential of text mining. As it shows, there are some minor differences between female and male channels, however there is no sign of gender disparity or objectification in the data.
