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.”

Bill Skarsgård Returns as Pennywise in Max's 'Welcome to Derry'

Bill Skarsgård Returns as Pennywise in Max's 'Welcome to Derry'

Max has officially announced that Bill Skarsgård will reprise his iconic role as Pennywise the Clown in the upcoming It prequel series, "Welcome to Derry." Skarsgård, who first terrified audiences in the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's It and its 2019 sequel, It Chapter Two, is also set to serve as an executive producer on the series. Reuniting with Skarsgård are Andy Muschietti, the director of both It films, along with producer Barbara Muschietti and co-producer Jason Fuchs. This collaboration promises to deliver a chilling expansion of the It universe, with big scares tailored for the small screen. Skarsgård's return to the role comes after he confirmed in March last year that he was "not involved" with the prequel. However, it seems the allure of Pennywise was too strong to resist, and he has since signed on to bring the flame-haired clown back to life. Although the series has been in development since 2022, details remain scarce. Even the working title, "Welcome to Derry," is subject to change.
