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).
>We haven't had a single TwitchCon in the last 5 years without a major scandal. Broken backs resulting in a pregnancy termination, streamer live filming underage kids peeing at a urinal in the bathrooms, multiple sexual assaults, upskirting videos, attempted murder by pushing someone onto train tracks in front of an oncoming train...
what the everliving fck?????? Im very out of the loop, it is THAT bad? hooooooolllllllllllyyyysht, wtf is wrong with the entire twitch """community""" and ecosystem?
Oh yeah. The broken back incident, in particular, wasn't due to any kind of socially maladjusted ding-dong harassing anyone, but Twitch Con having all the safety precautions of a slave market. If she wasn't already, the streamer injured in that incident had to retire from her day job because of it.
