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.”

Reddit Blackout

Reddit Blackout

On June 12, 2023, thousands of subreddits went dark in protest of Reddit's decision to start charging third-party developers for access to its data starting in July. The blackout, which was organized by the r/RedditAlliance subreddit, affected some of the site's largest communities, including r/funny, r/gaming, and r/aww. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has defended the decision to charge for API access, saying that it is necessary to help the company pay for its infrastructure and development costs. However, many Redditors are concerned that the new pricing will make it difficult or impossible for third-party developers to continue creating tools and apps that make Reddit a more enjoyable and useful platform.

Jurassic Park Turns 30 Years Old, Avatar Gets a Surprise Edit, and Who is Venom?

Jurassic Park Turns 30 Years Old, Avatar Gets a Surprise Edit, and Who is Venom?

During the Summer Game Fest reveal for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, creative director Bryan Intihar confirmed that Eddie Brock will not be the one to bond with the symbiote in the upcoming sequel. This has led to a lot of speculation about who will be the new Venom. One popular theory is that Harry Osborn will become Venom. Harry was infected with the Goblin serum in the first game, and he has been shown to be struggling with his mental health in the sequel's trailers. It's possible that he will bond with the symbiote in an attempt to cure himself, only to become a new, more powerful villain. Another possibility is that Miles Morales will become Venom. Miles has already bonded with a different symbiote, the Carnage symbiote, in the comics. It's possible that he will bond with the Venom symbiote in the sequel, and use its power to fight crime. Disney+ quietly edited the original version of Avatar to add a sequel hook for Avatar: The Way of Water. The change was noticed by viewers after the 2022 sequel arrived on the streaming service on June 7. The new footage shows the human antagonist Parker Selfridge briefly walking out of the crowd to address Jake and Neytiri, saying, "You know this isn't over," before walking away. This moment is viewable at the 2:32:45 mark on the Disney+ version. However, this change feels unnecessary as the sequel has already been released, and Selfridge did not factor into it at all. It has been reported that Selfridge will play a part in the rest of the Avatar sequels #jurassicpark #avatar #spiderman
