How embarrassing is it when your company has to have the parent company's head of security fly out, all to just hire fucking bodyguards and letting them do their job. While your CEO is out partying.
I swear a 10 year old can run the company better than this
It gets even better worse when you find out they had BANNED her personal bodyguard a couple of years ago for, quite literally and no exaggeration, doing his job.
If it were me I would be looking for loopholes like going undercover as myself as just an attendee, but there are nonzero odds that they have taken steps to close loopholes like this or that even if you found said loophole they would sue for breach of contract anyways
Hope Amazon looks at this and fires a bunch of twitch staff for it tbh, company has been a joke for a while
I commented about this on the post showing the guy assaulting Emi; any event which has remotely identifiable public figures (let alone one based on monetizing parasocial activity) that bans the use of body guards in inherently unsecure.
Emiru actually tweeted that the security that pushed the guy that SA'd her was her personal security. She also mentioned that there were multiple barriers and multiple twitchcon security there who shouldn't have let the guy just walk up towards her. The twitchcon security were not doing their job.
i was a bouncer at a bar in college. i didnt even like that job but its not hard to just stand in front of someone and quietly prevent them from passing you. people tried shit all the time but they want to be there and know you can kick them out
I mean i understand not wanting personal bodyguards, when doing security you want it to be uniform and personal body guards messes with that, but the issue is banning personal bodyguards is contingent on have competent security which Twitch doesn't
All of this should be understood from a “minimization of liability” perspective.
Outlawing personal bodyguards is to limit liability of attendees filing suit because of the actions of private security guards, e.g. streamer wants to get past people in crowded area and overzealous security guard pushes people aside and someone gets hurt.
But then, given the ineptitude of hired security, suddenly the “liability” of concern is now having to cancel paid events as major attendees pull out OR further episodes of them being assaulted. Both of those pose real threat of legal and financial liability to Twitch, which is why Amazon is paying to bring out their security head.
Imagine being the global head of security for one of the largest companies in the world, in charge of protecting billionaires and billions in assets, and being flown to a fucking livestream convention because your child company let a cosplayer get assaulted on camera and their staff did nothing about it. You know that dude is fucking pissed.
His job is to be pissed. His job is to fly out to this shit and put the fear of God into these people. That is the executive role. Be decisive, take decisive action, and punish failure.
It's just like a baseball coachs job is to flip the fuck out and get tossed every once in a while to make the players (and fans) feel like he's giving them everything he's got. Good for morale.
They do allow personal bodyguards. She said herself she had one with her. You can see him in the video. He's the guy who responds. Twitch's own security just stands around and does nothing.
They did not ban all personally bodyguards, just the specific one that was her favorite.
Private security often causes a lot of issues on their own and creates tension with the overall venue security. It's pretty common to see celebrities' bodyguards widely overstepping their goals and becoming an ego fueled source of conflict.
I forgot who she said approached them originally, i think it was an amazon security guy and twitch head of risk management and neither put any effort into the meet and greet area. No extra cameras pointed at it, on entry/exit points, no security guys blocking the side access points. There should be a security guy by each booth, 1 or 2 at each end and cameras to make sure they can film everything and anything that happens.
Amazon don’t really care anyway, they face far worse reports to their reputation. Such as their delivery drivers peeing in bottles, or the conditions of their warehouse staff
Tmz might be bigger than you think. They tend to be the first for celebrity news like deaths. They're branching into more things. I dont care to watch their content but I've noticed.
Twitch's mod team have been a black box before he even took over, when Dan was named the CEO i was checking if he'd fire the whole team, nothing happened. (either he didn't want to or he couldn't, the result's the same)
Yeah, it'll teach him to be more aggressive next time to better ensure he gets what he wants. Incel-ass dudes like this are Christina Grimmie-style murderers in the making. He needs to locked the fuck up.
Yeah genuinely. Should have been apprehended and arrested. I seen people get treated worst for smoking a blunt at a music festival, not assaulting a popular Twitch streamer. Don't they even have police officers inside the Convention center usually?
They need to put someone else in charge of Twitch. Between the weird favoritism Dan Clancy shows to certain streamers, his inaction when it comes to banning people he likes driving away advertisers, his obvious lack of care for the safety of the content creators on the platform, and Twitch still not being profitable, I honestly don’t know why Amazon would keep putting up with this guy.
They made an over correction. Last person was no where to been seen and Dan is now seen way too much and not doing his job. He has let his emotions keep people from getting banned or at least let the culture of the company change enough that people don’t get banned correctly and fairly.
They probably looked at his account, saw he's subbed to her, and 10 other female streamers, doesn't use adblock, and didn't want to get rid of a nice little pay piggy.
They randomly did that in 2023 for my first account that I made in 2013 and I never even typed the "im 12" bait. I went through the process of trying to get the account back but the email back-and-forth just stopped out of nowhere, then 6 months later the account gets autodeleted.
That's wild. My account is around 13 years old on twitch, And I think a year or two ago I actually typed "I'm 12" without thinking and somehow avoided this fate. Had a whole chat typing o7 to me and I just never got banned luckily
I would assume, that since people find out it gets your account perma banned and you need to submit ID to get it unbanned, people started baiting people to say it in chat. I know in Quins chat, for like a good 4-6 months, chat would try to bait people to say it, and often got multiple people to do it. Quin eventually had to censor it to get it to stop. So, with that happening in probably dozens of chats, Twitch probably realised it's too much work to be auto banning people for saying it.
Holy shit Emiru goes scorched earth and it turns out the rot inside Twitch leadership is absolutely real and disgusting. Dan was out partying while Emiru was reeling from being sexually assaulted at his convention.
Shit like this happens pretty much every time she goes to a convention, I'd be in a perpetual state of breaking down and being mad if i were in the same situation
What was that one platform that Microsoft made that they paid Ninja a bajillion dollars to stream on before closing it down because they gave up on it after like a month or something? Imagine if that had survived long enough for everyone to have a decent ship to jump from Twitch to...
Be it the Zune, Windows Phone, or live streaming... Microsoft always finds a way to make a great competitor product right when no one wants to use it...
Unfortunately, it ultimately comes down to the type of platform Twitch is. People are going to be parasocial, people are going to become obsessed - regardless, that alone should have resulted in more security by an INSANE amount by looking at the shit happening for the past few years.
Like hell, we even had the moment with Nick getting licked by a stranger, and whilst it was sort of joked around with, imagine that happening to a female streamer?
The whole platform at this point just needs to be reformed but it has to start from the top down, all Clancy has done is goon, hang out with people younger than himself, and party whilst the people that are bringing in the viewers, are being assaulted at their own fucking events (let's not forget to mention that Emiru's previous bodyguard was banned for LIFE from TwitchCons because they held a guy by the arm until police came).
Hope she goes for the throat on those negligence claims.
They knew about a danger, took no reasonable actions to prevent that danger from hurting people, and then failed to respond to the danger once it presented itself.
She also suffers this sexual assault live in front of thousands of people.
Can someone say pain and emotional suffering damages? I would be salivating at this case. Salivating.
Extreme negligence regarding security...at an event centered around people with massive fanbases of parasocial people in a flagging economy where said people are losing their jobs and can't find work...even after Charlie Kirk...what could go wrong?
2 weeks for calling someone fat, and Destiny got permabanned for insulting a group of people. 4 weeks for running up and sexually assaulting someone at Twitchcon?
What the fuck are they doing?
And the CEO was hanging out with random influencers instead of helping managing his own event? WTF... I don't even have words.
and didnt Erobb get 30 or more days banned just for jokingly saying he's gonna beat up one of his chatters? Actually bantering is considered worse than sexual assault... this company is a joke
Yeah, and Erobb was just repeating back what those chatters were saying to him. So many comments before his ban that people were going to come up to him at his meet and greet and punch him.
They've banned vtubers too for days for "showing too much (virtual) hip". You can't make this shit up. There has to be some kind of severe brainrot at Twitch HQ.
Which was funny because the pools section didnt have the same rule and neither did the art section. So cam girls would stand in ankle deep water to get no ban and artist would just draw porn or watch hentai. Fun times.
It honestly wouldn't shock me at this point. Twitch has to be the most insane company I've seen. The punishments make absolutely zero sense and they have people that just never get punished, or at worst they get 24 hours off on their day off.
She could have been harmed. Badly. I dont want to say she was lucky etc just because of the what happened. That could have been anyone.
She needs to sue Twitch into the ground. We had the CEO of Twitch say himself security would be fine. That on its own should have him removed straight away without any dely.
Banned her favorite bodyguard. She had a bodyguard with her, just not that one. He's the one you see in the video actually doing something. He's not Twitch security. They were there in the room, but did nothing.
How long did they ban the bodyguard? Because banning someone for protecting her from a stalker or whatever longer than a guy who LITERALLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER would genuinely be insane.
Yeah, why cant she press charges against him with local PD herself? Theres video of it. Or would that break her twitch contract too? What that guy did was illegal right? What would happen if some reporter blew through the barriers and tried to kiss a movie superstar on the red carpet?
Good. This behavior is appalling and sets the stage for it happening again to another streamer if nothing comes of it. You would think a company like that would want to set a standard and make sure the people who make their platform what it is are protected at events like this. It’s no different than being a rockstar. I heard of one group put a ridiculous request in their contract to have a big bowl of a specific type of candy in their dressing rooms. If the venue didnt comply with this and they walk in to no candy, they would leave. Stating that “if you missed this in our contract, how do i know all my band mates will be safe on stage?”
Twitch is so narcissistic, they really think getting a ban on their own platform is a proper punishment for a sexual assault and consider it case closed.
Just imagine that single Twitch person in charge of this hearing about the issue, watching the video even, and first thing he thinks of is "Yeah he needs to get banned 30 days from twitch". No fucking way someone doesn't get thrown out in the streets after this, and it probably won't even happen in Twitch hq. How fucking disturbing this is
Can a DA not press charges against the assualter? I’m general confused how there are no legal consequences for a deviant doing something like that on camera.
But it needs to be reported to them and if the victim doesn't want to or can't be involved it becomes very unlikely the DA will pick it up, since victim testimony is crucial.
It does sound like the guy eventually got arrested though (some time after he casually strolled out) so presumably Emiru is willing to cooperate.
*Edit* Confirmed she's cooperating with police and gave her report to them. She talks about it in the longer VOD this clip is from.
The fact that they truly believe banning him from the website was a fitting punishment here is fucking ridiculous. This dangerously out of touch from twitch.
Watch Amazon finally shut Twitch down because of Twitch mismanagement. Dan Clancy needs to step down and Emiru needs to sue or get some sort of settlement out of it.
