Emiru revealed that Twitch's initial punishment for her assaulter was banning him for 30 days on Twitch...
Calling out Amazon's Head of Security and Twitch's Head of Risk💀
It’s really important to us that our creators enjoy their experience at TwitchCon and feel safe. We regret that their experience was disrupted by this horrible incident.
The safety and security of all those attending TwitchCon is our highest priority. The behavior displayed by the individual involved in the incident yesterday involving a high profile streamer was completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting.
In line with existing TwitchCon security protocols, law enforcement and event security were on site and responded to the incident. We immediately blocked this individual from returning to the TwitchCon premises, and they are banned indefinitely from Twitch, both online and in-person events. We are coordinating with the impacted creator’s team and, per our standard protocols, continue to cooperate with any law enforcement investigations.
We have increased security at the Meet & Greet attendee check-in point and will have additional security personnel surrounding participating streamers. If you’ve RSVPed for a Meet & Greet, please note that we are unable to accommodate +1s for the remainder of the event.
Twitch has zero tolerance for harassment or acts that inhibit the safety and security of our community.
Got to finally ask Dan Clancy a question.
“…I’ve been a partner for a long time, but another thing I am is a US Veteran. I served in the ARMY and deployed to Afghanistan. Veterans are a protected group on Twitch. I have heard comments about how “the United States deserved 9/11. PTSD, Veterans deserve that.”
When are we going to start holding streamers for stuff like that on accountable regardless of their social status?”
So wait..
- Emiru’s preferred bodyguard was banned by Twitch
- Emiru is forced to do the Meet’n’Greet to keep her show
- Emiru gets assaulted and the guy is just allowed to walk away
Remember when female streamers voiced their concerns and incels blamed Hasan for it???
Pepperoni Pizza.
Pepperoni is overrated for a pizza topping. And as a little kid back then, I threw up that pizza while walking out of the pizza restaurant onto the sidewalk in Queens NY. NEVER ordered it again.
As a person with multiple stalkers, I have never felt safe at TwitchCon. What happened to Emiru today could have easily turned into another tragedy. Twitch cares more about how they look and getting sued than the actual safety of their streamers
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy on the Emiru assault:
"You know we're looking very closely at everything that happened there, and I care deeply about Emi; she's a friend of mine. And so I want to see how we can support her."
Elon Musk should sell this platform back to former Twitter employees.
I hate that I can't use the hashtags to get viral anymore because it's not in performance.
it is Twitch’s sole responsibility to ensure the safety of all streamers in attendance. if Twitch not cannot fulfill its most basic obligation Twitchcon will come to an end
10 years ago @djWHEAT led the original creation of TwitchCon to bring streamers together irl from all the different communities and games across Twitch for the first time. those years were special and meant something to people. not so much anymore https://t.co/jMKAqRmcuU
