Twitch Comments on Emiru Twitchcon Assault

by

As a big Twitch fan, I was really upset to hear about the situation with Emiru at TwitchCon. Twitch just put out a statement about their security after videos came out showing she was assaulted during the event. It’s crazy to think something like that could happen at their biggest event of the year. Twitch has always been *the* place for streamers, starting with gaming and now expanding to all kinds of content. Seeing creators like Kai Cenat and Ninja become so famous through the platform is awesome, but this news just casts a shadow over everything. I really hope Twitch takes this seriously and makes sure everyone feels safe at future events.

As a regular Twitch viewer, I always get hyped for TwitchCon – it’s become this massive gathering where you can actually meet your favorite streamers in person. They’ve held it in a bunch of places, but San Diego seems to be a popular spot. They really pull out all the stops, getting huge guests like Megan Thee Stallion, T-Pain, and even Tony Hawk! But the 2025 con already had a really awful incident – someone in the crowd actually harassed and physically assaulted Emiru during a meet-and-greet. It was super disturbing. Now, Twitch is finally addressing what happened and talking about the steps they’re taking to prevent something like this from happening again.

Twitch has responded to a video showing an incident where a fan rushed the stage and attempted to grab Emiru. Security quickly intervened, and the fan was immediately banned from the event and all future Twitch gatherings. Twitch is working with the police and will be increasing security at all Meet & Greet events for the rest of the convention.

Twitch Makes Statement Regarding Emiru TwitchCon Incident

This disturbing event isn’t new – female streamers have repeatedly faced issues with overly enthusiastic and obsessive fans. Earlier this year, Emiru had to end a collaborative stream with Pokimane and Cinna after a viewer aggressively tracked their location and made threats. Livestreams that show a streamer’s real-life location, often called ‘IRL’ streams, are particularly vulnerable, with some viewers even resorting to dangerous tactics like falsely reporting emergencies to the police – known as ‘swatting’.

The recent issues at TwitchCon happen as Twitch faces increasing competition. Many content creators are now using YouTube to build their brands, and some popular streamers are moving between Twitch and YouTube. A newer platform called Kick has also gained traction, attracting well-known Twitch streamers like Asmongold and Amouranth. Fans are hoping Twitch will improve security at future events like TwitchCon to keep creators safe.
