She started her online career on the streaming platform Twitch in late 2014 when she was 17. Her screen name comes from the size of drink available at Starbucks. She used a "basic bitch" online persona in order to troll her Twitch audience. Venti pretended to be and over emotional E-girl, who would regularly scream at her viewers for “hate speech” and acting dramatic whenever her stream was raided. She would create her own vocabulary and mispronounce words on purpose as part of her ditzy character. Her character was personified by her exaggerated comedy that pushed the boundaries of Twitch’s Terms of Service. Her channel was covered in an article by Vice News.[1]
2015 to 2017
Her claim to fame was a video in 2016 in which she pretended to freak out when another player “raped” her character in Grand Theft Auto.[2] Later in 2016, she was banned from Twitch for using the text to speech function. She was accused of Anti-semitism after the AI read out an offensive comment in the form of a voice donation. [3]
After her ban from Twitch, she carried on trolling people on Twitter and YouTube. Venti was shadow banned by the former. In early January 2017, she achieved notoriety after attending He Will Not Divide Us in New York, making speeches and trolling the crowd. During one of her appearances, she asked people to chant "shadilay", which is the Jewish call to prayer.
