Emiru Presses Charges After TwitchCon Incident. What It Means For Creator Safety

Emiru Presses Charges After TwitchCon Incident. What It Means For Creator Safety

Emiru says she was assaulted during a meet and greet at TwitchCon San Diego and is now pressing charges. In this episode, we break down what happened on site, why parasocial dynamics make creator appearances uniquely risky, and how events can raise the safety bar beyond standard crowd control. We also look at Twitch’s public response, what creators say they need at future conventions, and why trust in venue protocols is the real product for meet and greets.

  • 00:00 News brief and why this story matters for all creator events

  • 00:21 What happened at the meet and greet in San Diego and the immediate aftermath

  • 00:41 Parasocial behavior and why rope lines are not enough

  • 01:02 Security gaps and relying on personal bodyguards at public appearances

  • 01:19 “Go get him” frustration as the assailant walks away in the clip

  • 01:35 Twitch’s statement about bans and increased security and why creators are disputing on site actions

  • 01:49 The ongoing fear for creators and the promise venues make when hosting them

  • 02:00 What we will watch for next and listener voices we want to hear

  • Creator meet and greets face risks that standard event security does not always anticipate.

  • Clear perimeters, trained rovers, and immediate detainment protocols are table stakes, not extras.

  • Post-incident outreach must center the affected creator and be proactive and timely.

  • Trust will depend on visible layout changes and documented procedures at future shows.

  • The story is bigger than one incident. It speaks to how the industry protects people in the spotlight.

  • “It needs to be a wake up call to everybody that does conventions across the board.”

  • “What is going to stop them. A rope. That is not going to stop anyone.”

  • “No security followed that guy.”

Big Death in Secret Invasion Confirmed

Big Death in Secret Invasion Confirmed

As a spy story involving the shape-shifting Skrulls, Secret Invasion always presented itself as a twisty adventure in which nothing is what it seems. So while some people were certainly shocked when the first episode of the series ended with the death of Maria Hill, others assumed that the scene would echo CIA Agent Everett K. Ross’s death during the cold open. She would be revealed to be a Skrull and the real Maria Hill would return, probably to save Nick Fury in an exciting set piece. But the real Maria Hill has arrived to disabuse us of those hopes. Speaking with Vanity Fair, Hill’s actor Cobie Smulders weighed in on her character’s fate with some disappointing news for anyone writing the above headcanon. “Maria Hill’s passing is very real, and it’s shocking, and it feels very human,” Smulders explained. That last word carries particular weight, given the possibility of Skrulls masquerading throughout the story. But for Smulders, the human aspect presented a unique challenge for her as an actor. “It was a sad day,” she admits, while also acknowledging the opportunity to stretch some new performance muscles. “I don’t think I’ve ever died on camera,” she enthused. “I got a real death scene!”
