The safety and security of all those attending TwitchCon is our highest priority. The behavior displayed by the individual involved in the incident yesterday involving a high profile streamer was completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting. In line with existing TwitchCon

It’s really important to us that our creators enjoy their experience at TwitchCon and feel safe. We regret that their experience was disrupted by this horrible incident.

@Twitch Dang... you won't even name the person that was assaulted? Shows how much you care. I remember seeing people bring up concerns of security prior to the event. Heck I know streamers that didn't attend for the same reasons. Guess the paranoid survives for a reason.

@Twitch How was he not arrested and just let walk away? That's incredibly dangerous and showed the lack of protection you did not give to your creators.

@Twitch I look forward to discussing the veracity of this statement tomorrow

@Twitch That dude speedran ruining his life

@Twitch You care about safety and security? You let known pedophiles stream on your front page, refuse to ban your darling Hasan despite wishing death on people live and shocking his dog, you consistently have illicit content being shown on camera, and ban anyone who you don't like. You

@Twitch You banned Emiru's personal bodyguard from protecting her. You allowed foam pits that were not built to code to be used, causing someone to break their back. You allowed actual SA to occur at TwitchCon, which you guys tried to cover up. Your lax security caused other CC's to get

@Twitch If this was true, any competently performed risk assessment would show that Emiru needs fulltime personal armed protection whilst attending Twitchcon. If you carry on like this you are going to get someone killed.

@Twitch You’re gonna have to square this statement with the fact you banned Emiru’s security from last year, leaving her completely unprotected.

@Twitch You have to care BEFORE someone dies, not after. If he had a weapon Emiru would be dead. You made a whole post telling us how important security during twitchcon is, yet you can’t protect VIPs inside of your own venue.

@Twitch If the person who assaulted Emiru had any kind of weapon this entire statement would be how sorry you are that someone passed away at your convention. That is how dangerously close to the sun this has flown. This platform is failing its girl creators. It’s jarring.

@Twitch Twitch's security has always been a joke and every streamer knows that. The amount of "security" that in the last few Con's had a majority of creepy and not serious at all individuals. A lot of women streamers have talked this up and no change. You do not care about their safety

@Twitch Obsession and parasocial behavior can turn deadly. Live streaming fuels unnatural attachments to people you’ve never met. It’s time events like this were far more secure and regulated. Not tomorrow.. today

@Twitch “We waited for someone to be sexually assaulted within the first day of the event to increase security”

@Twitch “The behavior displayed by the individual involved in the incident yesterday involving a high profile streamer was completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting.” Would it be acceptable if it occurred to a low profile streamer? All streamers should be protected equally.

@Twitch Why did you ban Emiru’s security guard from attending?

@Twitch The fact that a lot of female content creators refused to go to Twitch con this year because of this type of security/safety issues. And yet no security measures were implemented to reassure their safety, UNTIL NOW. Well done, you still couldn’t care less about your streamers.

@Twitch Looked like he pulled a knife out btw... you could always blind eye that, but I can see it being unfolded clear as day in the video...

@Twitch I saw a sole security man doing his best out of the situation. I also saw a line of streamers and only 1 security supposed to be "everywhere at the same time". The security man was not at fault,Twitch not having enough security along the line was. I know it sucks to read,but

@Twitch The fact she was stalked there 2 years ago and you banned her security for protecting her, then did nothing to fill the gap that was clearly in your own security which allowed some weird shit to happen again, that’s bad business, get your shit together

@Twitch this wasn't "harassment" it was assault

@Twitch "The safety and security of all those attending TwitchCon is our highest priority." https://x.com/Awk20000/status/...

@Twitch Too late, there was already a victim, imagine if they had worst motives, protection was promised before the event, these words are even more empty now.

@Twitch twitch rn

@Twitch How about ending the ability to donate to streamers on your platform? Your partners should not be engaging in parasocial relationships with viewers for money. Mentally ill people flock to your platform and its putting your creators in danger.

@Twitch Zero tolerance yet he walks straight in front of your "security" and staff on the other side of the "barrier". Your company has become a joke among jokes. Emiru has every fucking right to sue you. And I hope she does. She could've been another Christina Grimmie.

@Twitch All your boomer, low-t employees can't seem to do anything right. Perhaps rethink your policy denying private security. Attendees with their own security can simply add twitch as additionally insured on their policies. This is standard practice for events and facilities. Simple.

@Twitch That’s great and all but this is performative. Y’all FIRED emi’s security. Fuck you

@Twitch I wonder if Emiru will sue Twitch because they banned her bodyguard and did not provide adequate security?

@Twitch Twitch has zero tolerance, yet the guy that assaulted @emiru just walked out like nothing happened. LMAO

@Twitch >”we have increased security at the meet and greet attendees check in point” Why was security not increased from the start, given all of the concerns about this year’s event? A young women just got sexually assaulted, and you are directly to blame.

@Twitch You promised security this year that it would be safe and you lied ... he sexually assaulted emiru... if he had a knife and wanted to end her he could have easily done that. Twitch lied

@Twitch You had enough time to hire real security guards but you didn't. The main people that keep your business afloat are not even safe. This dude got close to her and assaulted her. He chose to go for what seems a kiss and it could have been anything else besides this. We could have

@Twitch You say that after something bad just happen. You also don't do anything when people point out those who promote terrorism and abuse animals. How can anyone trust what Twitch says or does.

@Twitch @JeffBezos can you come get these stupid mother fuckers under control for the love of all that is holy?

@Twitch Oh right… safety was such a high priority that security was practically nonexistent until AFTER the incident occurred. You’re a joke.
