I want to address the accusations made about me by another streamer, Ricababyyy.
I met Rica for the first time last week during an IRL collab. That same night, she blocked me - and in the days after, began publicly accusing me live of copying her content, having no creativity, impersonating her, and even calling me a “psychotic stalker impersonator bitch.”
She clipped my streams and sent them around to streamers, viewers, and mutuals to hate on me. She insulted my race and appearance, threatened to “take me down,” and said she’d drop more hate videos if I got Partner before her.
I stayed silent, until now, because I didn’t know what to do. I’m a new, small Filipino streamer who barely knows anyone in LA. I felt scared, very hurt, and ashamed for not speaking up sooner.
I came to the US for my first TwitchCon hoping to make friends and find community. I’m still learning, still adjusting, and I worry people won’t understand me. I’m naturally shy and soft-spoken, just trying to find my place in a new country.
I’m sharing this because this kind of hate isn’t okay. No one deserves to be treated like this. I just want to grow, create, and lift others up. Please be kind to one another. ♥
The way the world is right now, it feels so important to find the fun in the media you enjoy.
Don't be afraid to be passionately excited or happy for a game, a show or whatever despite what people around you are saying. Life is too short to not enjoy what we can.
