The amount of sloptubers cheering on Ethan Klein's attempts to silence his critics without realizing Denims was fighting for their ability to criticize people for a living
hello everyone, I am okay and thank you for all of the kind messages, sorry I cannot respond to them all 🩷
Yesterday, the man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers at twitchcon and even in front of another creators meet and greet to grab me and my face and try to kiss me. Fortunately he wasn't able to, but a lot of people have pointed out it could have been a lot worse!
I'm obviously shaken up by what happened and it's not the first time I've dealt with something like this, but to tell you honestly, I am a lot more hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact.
Like I said, I don't understand how he was allowed to make it to me in the first place. The security in the clip who reacts is my own security (it's true my favorite and usual security guard was banned for holding a stalkers arm to bring him to police, at a past Twitchcon)
However, there were at least 3 or 4 other Twitchcon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away, as you can see in the clip since they don't even appear in the frame LOL
The woman who is walking me away is my own personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who were checking on me and comforting me were her and my friend. None of the Twitchcon staff came to ask what happened or if I was okay.
My friend who was present told me Twitch security were also behind the booth afterwards joking about how they didn't even see what happened and immediately laughing and moving on to talking about something else.
So if no one was checking if I was okay or if I needed anything and they let the guy run away initially, I have no idea what anyone hired to keep the event safe was doing LOL
In Twitch's statement they said that the guy was immediately caught and detained, I'm sorry but that is a blatant lie. He was allowed to walk away from my meet and greet and I didn't hear he was caught until hours after he attacked me, and it felt like this only happened because of my manager pressing for it, not because Twitchcon staff present thought it was a big deal.
I have a lot more I want to say but I will say it on stream later today instead of writing a book on here.
Thank you guys again, sorry you all had to see that. This is definitely my last Twitchcon, and it saddens me to say as a 10 year off and on attendee of Twitchcon, I think other creators should seriously consider not attending in the future. I did not feel cared for or protected, even bringing my own security and staff. I can't imagine how creators without those options would feel.
Stay safe y'all, everything is going to be okay

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”
— Doechii at the #BETAwards
ppl who freak about retaliation to cops at these rallies need to attend one protest & they’ll quickly realize that the agitators are the armed dudes in riot gear tear gassing thousands of unarmed tax payers who are paying for the chemicals as well as their salaries & pensions
To all streamers:
Multistreaming today is where short form content was 3 years ago; a necessary tool for greater distribution in an increasingly competitive entertainment landscape.
When Tiktok and YouTube shorts started taking over digital, some creators rushed to take advantage of these new discoverability tools (Caseoh, Jynxzi, Pireatesoftware, etc.). Others were slow to adopt and fell to the wayside. The multistreaming viewership rush will be the same.
Your Twitch ACV is becoming less important to viewers and advertisers by the day. Your overall impact, performance, and reach are all what the industry will care about in the next 6 months.
Stop thinking like a streamer. Start thinking like a creator.

happy earth day everybody🥹🌏
I’m very very grateful to use my platform to help advocate for our natural world.
My conservation journey started when I started working at a zoo in college. I was learning about so many new animal species (most of which I had never even heard of) and I fell in love with EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. The tragedy is: while I was becoming deeply invested in the individuals under my care as a zookeeper, I was learning about the conservation threats that their wild counterparts faced simultaneously. I had a 100% success rate of falling in love with every animal I met. It quickly became obvious that this meant I loved all of their wild counterparts too.
It is a tough time to feel so deeply for our planet. The reality is that it is under attack and it is in big trouble. My job (and I hope you take it up as yours too) is to be a voice for the voiceless. When wildlife can’t advocate for themselves, we can!
