Twitch streamer wants to change the perception of gaming as Miss Germany: “One should not demonize it, but also not glorify it”

Sandra Friedrichs is currently running for Miss Germany. She is known on Twitch under the name anormaldisaster and primarily plays Sims there. In an interview with MeinMMO, Sandra talks about how she processed her eating disorder, bullying, and rape through gaming. She wants to use Miss Germany to draw attention to the topic of mental health in gaming. This contribution is part of our campaign “Find Your Next Game: Love Edition”.

By participating in the Miss Germany election, Sandra aims to bring gaming to the forefront of society. She is particularly passionate about the combination of mental health and gaming.

For the Twitch streamer, there are two sides:

  • Gaming can be destructive and further burden mental health
  • But gaming can also help to express creativity and provide a safe haven

In an interview with MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski, Sandra talked about how, as a teen, she intentionally disfigured her character in Sims because she perceived herself as ugly. You can find out what the effects of that were on her psyche in the video.

Note from the editorial team: Sandra has now landed in the Top 10 of Miss Germany. The video was produced at a time when she was in the Top 20. MeinMMO congratulates her on making it to the Top 10!
