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.”

Taika Waititi Not Directing Thor 5

Taika Waititi Not Directing Thor 5

In a surprising turn of events for Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, director Taika Waititi has confirmed he will not be involved in the upcoming Thor 5. This news marks a significant shift in the franchise’s direction, as Waititi has been a key figure in redefining Thor’s character in recent films. Taika Waititi, the acclaimed director behind “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Thor: Love and Thunder,” recently announced he would not be directing the next Thor movie. Speaking with Business Insider, Waititi cited his busy schedule, which includes a Star Wars project and the Akira adaptation, as the primary reason for stepping away from the MCU for now. Despite his departure, Waititi maintains a positive relationship with Marvel, humorously describing it as an “open relationship” and expressing his willingness to collaborate again in the future​​. Waititi’s influence on the Thor series has been notable, especially in introducing a more humorous and quirky take on the character. His thoughts on the direction of Thor 5, particularly regarding the villain, suggest a desire for a more formidable adversary than Hela, the antagonist from “Thor: Ragnarok.” However, with his departure, the actual direction the film will take remains uncertain​​. Chris Hemsworth, who portrays Thor, has expressed his views on the character’s future. In the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast, Hemsworth spoke about the need for another reinvention of Thor, hinting at a possible departure from the comedic tone that characterized Waititi’s films. He emphasized the importance of evolving the character to keep both the audience and himself engaged, suggesting a potential shift in tone and direction for Thor 5​​.

Marvel Studios: Turbulence Ahead with Jonathan Majors' Legal Troubles and Potential Villain Swap

Marvel Studios: Turbulence Ahead with Jonathan Majors' Legal Troubles and Potential Villain Swap

It's been a challenging period for Marvel Studios, as they navigate through delays, criticism, and uncertainties, especially concerning Jonathan Majors, known for his portrayal of Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Recent reports reveal that Marvel Studios, amidst Majors' legal troubles, considered a significant shift in their villain lineup. The possibility of replacing Kang the Conqueror with the iconic Doctor Doom was discussed as a contingency plan. Jonathan Majors, who has played Kang in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Loki," is facing domestic violence charges. His trial in New York has left Marvel in a difficult position regarding the future of his character. A feature by Variety shed light on Marvel's current situation, including talks on reshoots for "The Marvels" and possibly bringing back the original Avengers cast. The most pressing issue at Marvel's annual retreat in September was Majors' arrest. One idea was to pivot from Kang to Doctor Doom. However, Kang's deep integration into Marvel's plans, including a key role in "Loki" Season 2 and the upcoming "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," complicates this potential shift. Disney, reacting to the unfolding events, altered its release schedule. "Magazine Dreams," featuring Majors, was removed from its December 8th release, with no new date set. This decision seems influenced by Majors' legal situation and possibly the actors' strike. As Marvel Studios navigates these challenges, the future of Kang the Conqueror, and potentially the entire trajectory of the MCU, hangs in the balance. Will it be Kang or Doctor Doom who takes center stage as the formidable adversary in upcoming Marvel narratives? Only time will tell.
