Emiru is attacked during the meeting with TwitchCon, social networks erupt with anger

Popular American YouTuber Emiru recently experienced a heartbreaking incident while attending a meet-and-greet session at TwitchCon.

The three-day convention took place in San Diego and on the first day, the popular cosplayer was assaulted during the event.

On Friday, a video went viral of a man walking up to Emiru trying to grab him for a kiss. The clip showed the streamer trying to push the man away.

Only her personal security staff stepped forward to protect her, while the TwitchCon security staff stood still and didn’t even move a step to help her.

Emiru released an official statement via X, in which she criticized Twitch for the way they handled the situation.

In her statement, she mentioned that the man “was allowed to cross multiple barriers at TwitchCon and even in front of other creators met and greeted each other to grab me and my face and try to kiss me.”

However, the organizers also responded to him saying that they immediately blocked the individual from returning to the event.

The incident created a storm on social media, with fans saying Twitch should apologize to Emiru for the horrible act.

One wrote: “Damn, Twitch needs to apologize and let you have your good security guard back. Hope you’re okay.”

Meanwhile, some fear that such a platform might need to be sued for its lack of security.

“Please sue Twitch for lack of security or leave their streaming service to stay safe.”

Another social media user commented: “Justice for @emiru.jpg, no one deserves to be attacked on Twitchcon and security failed and shame on the guy standing next to her watching this happen.” »
