There's a fine line between "she asked for it" and "she repeatedly puts herself in a dangerous situation by making millions of dollars off of people deranged enough to give a pretty girl on the Internet their life savings" but I see your point.
Cool, enjoy that. I'll do the right thing, regardless of risk incurred. That's the father I wish to be to my daughter, because that's how I want her to be.
Article: This might be a bit longer post, sorry
To expand on this statement, the reason I said this actually had nothing to do with Charlie Kirk or any other civil unrest this year. While of course, it's an agitating variable, it wasn't the reason
Last year, at Twitchcon, Nmplol and Wakewilder were sexually assaulted live and on camera, twitch made no statement and pretended like this didn't happen.
That type of behavior is disgusting, wrong, and has no place in civilized society. Anyone with a brain knew that if this had happened to a female creator at the time, Twitch's response would have been completely different. Anyone without a brain had that proven last night.
To me, this proved an undeniable cynical reality: Twitch doesn't care about sexual assault, they care about the optics of sexual assault. If they had cared, they would have approached it with men in the same way. This proves their motives are driven by optics rather than principle.
Under that reasoning, it could be assumed that Twitch would allow the same thing to occur again this year. Why wouldn't they? They got away with it last year.
This is what my true reasoning was behind what I said.
Even now, Twitch refuses to apologize to Emiru or even name her. Innocuous to the uninitiated but obvious to the informed.
They are refusing to apologize because it could be used against them in a lawsuit. They are refusing to name her to avoid boosting SEO (search engine optimization) connecting the company to this event and to not further spread her name in the hopes that it will minimize the controversy.
In front of everyone, they put optics over principle and insult your intelligence by assuming you're too stupid to see it.
Actions speak louder than words and what people avoid saying often reveals their true intent.
I apologize that sometimes when I speak on issues that I do so in such a brash and offensive tone that it polarizes people against me. When things like this happens it makes me think about that a lot. Could I have made a bigger difference if I was less of an asshole? Maybe.
Stay safe, trust your instincts, and believe what you see and not what you hear.
Well, for your daughter's sake, we all hope you survive and are in a jurisdiction that doesn't punish good samaritans. Because, if you don't, and you are not, either way, you will be separated from your daughter, and you won't be able to protect or guide her. And if that's the case, the likelihood of her growing up to be the woman you want her to be drastically plummets.
Article: 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
She's already the woman I want her to be, and it's because I've been adamant to teach her that doing the right thing goes beyond laws. She's 14 today, and she's absolutely perfect, and if you needed help, she'd help you, no matter what danger that would entail. I'm immensely proud of her for that.
I get what he is saying though, although it would be classified as assault it's just a weird interaction. It's the menace behind the complete inappropriateness of the action that makes it scary. Like if you left your front door unlocked and a complete stranger walked into your house - all they have done is walk in your house, but the transgression of normal behaviour would immediately freak you out on what else they would be willing to do.
He is currently live at the moment and I watched him talk about it for over an hour plus and he has one of the most unique perspectives and understandings on just how bad twitch really is at the moment which I didn't know about.
I'm not giving parenting advice, I'm stating what is descriptively true. You would risk another man raising your daughter, or her being raised in a single-parent household.
My only point of comparison is a comic con I went to - and other than a table between us I could have easily murdered Michael Biehn, a bunch of power rangers, and Big Bird if I had ill intentions.
Some of these people are really sick. Every issue is seen through a political lense.
Emiru needs to sue the living fuck out of Twitch for allowing this to happen.Twitch issued a statement:
This is after they assured the attendees that they were safe to come to the event.
Exactly. Dude should've been beaten until he started to piss and shit blood. Violence is the only language that savages understand.
.
So far so good Padre, I have no regrets.I'm not giving parenting advice, I'm stating what is descriptively true. You would risk another man raising your daughter, or her being raised in a single-parent household.
Just because someone is behind a desk doesnt mean you cant reach them. People are literally handshaking and smelling each others breath. Any comicon or whatever, not counting a speaking seminar, any voice actor, cosplayer etc are literally an arms length of you, there is no massive security, glass windows lol or anything alike. You go there, you shake their hand. You are as close as can be. The only reason this is making the rounds is because she is a THOT and they have perverted fans versus someone just being a mega fan of someones work. I can bet my ass, some regular fans held the handshake longer than it should have been plus posing for photos. Not sure where people got this idea where at these CONs you have some wall of security.My only point of comparison is a comic con I went to - and other than a table between us I could have easily murdered Michael Biehn, a bunch of power rangers, and Big Bird if I had ill intentions.
Edit: Data would have been a goner to:
You must go to some different strip clubs than I do, because I've had ladies wrap their legs around my head and grind their crotch deep in my face, with no issues or security warnings etc.
I don't say this lightly but this dude deserves like a 1 day ban.
The women are allowed to do things like that. The guys can't be groping the girls uninvited or they'll get roughed up and thrown out. Even back room service has guidelines.
Just to be clear, I never made a claim to the contrary. I'm happy that you are present for your child. It's better for everybody that you are.
Guess it just depends if the girls like the patrons or not. I have some real hot and raunchy stories.
Well, could be. But that was always my experience.
Sorry late to the topic but did we learn his ReEeEe account?
