Its tough being the victim for years, finally they have achieved righteousness. All they need is a uniform now. /s
I'm more disgusted by the people who know this sort of shit is beyond the pale but see it as a resource and prefer to harness it for their own ends. But thats the world we live in right now.

Attractive female makes a living off showing off cosplays/skin on camera. I mean.... you must be fucking stupid to give her the benefit of the doubt. When your chat room is full of incel men... who are throwing money at you.... don't be surprised if they are expecting a return.

Twitch is so fucked it's not even funny anymore. They don't care about security at all. They know best what kind of weirdos their users are.
The girl who is obviously the victim here, is also a victim of her own stupidity. She should not attend such events without her own personal security and if Twitch doesn't accept that then you don't go.
Whoever denies that part of her online personality is sexual is kidding themselves.
Of course weirdos would attack even if she dressed like a nun, but i think, and i don't have data to support that thought, that when you act like a cute sexy girl online, maybe you might attract the wrong kind of people. Which is ok, you can sell yourself however you like, but she should have her own security.

A new form of victim blaming. How unsurprising that a pos like Clancy came up with it. He didn't link it directly to Emiru, but it's clear why he brought it up. Transparent deflection as is all the 'it's the world we live in' resignation throughout the interview.
As for the "something we have to keep working on" - that would imply they ever did any work to start with. It's painfully obvious from the ease with which that dude walked up to Emiru that security is not a serious concern for Twitch at all.

Oh give me a damn break. Saying streamers fill the same cultural role as film stars is like saying vloggers and surgeons are both content creators. Sure both record things but only one's doing something that actually takes skill. Turning on a camera isn't talent, it's access.

I'm not saying that there is an equivalence in artistic merit to actors / tv stars, I'm talking about cultural role - the influence, visibility and parasocial attention streamers get. These streamers have millions of viewers and fanbases and par asocial relationships in the same way film and TV stars do. Same exposure attracts the same risks. Harassment, stalking etc.

Perfect Blue.
why would you want to make money for a CEO who won't protect you and throws you under the bus.

I mean, it was bad on their part and they fucked up and fuck twitch. But that no one is allowed to go to a party because some guy tried to kiss emiru is taking it too far. That's hysteria.

In terms of fame and influence they do, I hate to admit it, but 10 year olds these days know way more about youtube people than hollywood people.
Memes and dances and viral videos is far far far more effective on the youth than anything hollywood does.

Disgusted by some people actually trying to find blame on anyone other than Twitch and the pathetic excuse of a security team.
These events are full of fucking weirdos. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's true. A lot of these dudes have mental issues, and definitely social problems. Probably never been near pussy in their entire lives and have been groomed (probably the wrong word) into thinking these influencers owe them something because they donate and watch them 24/7.
The issue here is Twitch not having the appropriate security to tackle these people if something like this happens.

Not really an anime person outside of Street Fighter 2, Akira, and the original Ghost in the Shell, but I watched Perfect Blue last year and thought it was excellent. Did make me wonder on what I've been potentially missing out on over the past couple of decades.

It's sad that Twitch has been so broken and shoddy for so long that moments like these are the only times where they will actually put forth a tiny amount of effort to save their own skin, and they still manage to get it wrong sometimes.
At one time in the past a thread like this would have been a graveyard of crossed out names, especially with the amount of very edgy and heinous takes.

All true, but they have also built an industry around taking advantage of those issues for profit. Sad sack losers who would walk over lava to kiss a dog who licked her hand are the desired customer base, not some freak occurrence.
Having these issues with this audience seems inevitable and having these meet ups seems like an inherently bad idea.

Of course this woman didn't deserve this but when you cater to the crazies then what the fuck should you expect.
What she should really be doing is diverting some of her money to create a qualified security team that knows what they're doing when she is attending events.
Also make sure your money making persona looks nothing like you in person so you can live a normal life outside of other one.
Im beginning to think these people are absolute amateurs to understanding how crazy the world really is. Take some control in your life and also have somebody experienced in going over any contractual agreements that you are about to sign.

So one of their biggest female streamers gets sexually assaulted and you think it's perfectly acceptable for the Twitch higher ups to go out to an influencer event instead of tackle the incident?
On one hand I want to think you're trolling, but then again, there are people here who are literally saying this whole thing was "nothing", so you never know these days.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
"I do think that when you're livestreaming..in many ways you can control your community."
Bitch, the event happened at YOUR EVENT, where YOU are responsible for security ... not during a live stream.

Don't miss Paprika or Ninja Scroll (if you missed that in the 90s). Personally I'd also watch anything from Makoto Shinkai, Mamoru Hosoda, or Hayao Miyazaki but if you're not into dramas or feel good stuff maybe skip that.

Emiru shouldn't have said, "I don't care if I lose any opportunities by saying this" in her response video.
I mean, if she plans to take legal action against twitch, their lawyers could use that statement against her. Why seek damages for what happened when she's saying she doesn't care about the money she'll lose in future opportunities.
A good lawyer could still argue around this, but this might come back to bite her.

You have to ask yourself why a man at this age would take on this particular role at this particular company. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is. But what I'm implying here is
- you are the CEO of a company that literally makes money producing nothing of value but instead accept payment for targeted advertisements
- you have a platform that specifically targets young, impressionable soon-to-be "creators", which is just another word for highly narcissistic and entitled brats that believe what they think and say is somehow more important than the bullshit the rest of us has in their heads - meaning you have the perfect cattle herd of stupid kids to work for you for pennies
- your parent company is very laissez faire and doesn't really care what you do, even if you do bad - you're basically just there for the optics, the portfolio, for the bragging rights of some Amazon exec
- you get to party all the time on some "events" surrounded by young females sexualizing themselves for money from strangers - you're probably getting some of that action, especially for special treatment, too
- you have incredibly low levels of responsibility, just from the fundamental design of the whole platform and how it operates - perfect!
- your indifferent masters at Amazon have loose pockets and pay you handsomely for no real performance at all
- ...
Sorry for my stupid, incoherent rambling in bad broken English - I think y'all still get the point!

A guy tried to kiss her and got pushed away. It's foul and Twitch is to blame, but they did apprehend the guy and I'm not sure what else they could have done after the fact that requires plans to be canceled.

And Akira! Also Grave of the Fireflies, with the caveat that it may be the most depressing movie you'll ever see.

Not even that, they banned her security guard and control who can be there with you or not. So the shit he's spewing makes no sense

I'm not Kaya it happened cause of the general demographic of twitch simps, but am Kaya at how little twitch did to ensure it doesn't happen. A combination of actual twitch security (hell volunteer convention standees as a scarecrow would have worked) plus letting her have her own private security guards around her as handlers (like maybe 2-3) would have prevented this.
