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.”

Lanterns

Lanterns

The Greg Berlanti Green Lantern series development has been scrapped, and a new series called “Lanterns” is being developed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new heads of DC Studios. The previous Green Lantern series was to be based on a space opera, while the new series is described as a “True Detective”-style terrestrial-based investigation. The Green Lantern series was expensive with multiple stories but was eventually reduced to focus on Alan Scott and Guy Gardner. The cast was then scrapped, and a new direction was decided to focus on John Stewart. The new series is seen as a “foundational series” for the main story across film and TV, and the actors who play the Lanterns will also be seen in the movies. The series will allow for the exploration and development of characters, which is not possible in a movie. Gunn and Safran are already talking to actors about the new series, and the show will be a “huge HBO TV-style event”. Berlanti, who was previously involved in the Green Lantern series, has scaled back his DC shows and is unlikely to be involved in the new DC Studios.

Showtime Merges Into Paramount +

Showtime Merges Into Paramount +

Paramount Global is rebranding its premium cable network Showtime as “Paramount+ with Showtime” in the US. The two brands will be integrated in the streaming world and Showtime content will be available on Paramount+’s premium tier. Chris McCarthy will lead the Showtime studio and oversee network operations while Tom Ryan will oversee the Paramount+ with Showtime streaming business. Some shows are being cancelled due to “diverting investment away from underperforming areas.” Bob Bakish said the changes aim to make Paramount+ “the definitive multiplatform brand in the streaming space.” Some layoffs may occur and details will be shared in the coming weeks. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

Negan and Invincible - Walking Dead Alum Hints at Possible Invincible Role

Negan and Invincible - Walking Dead Alum Hints at Possible Invincible Role

Jeffrey Dean Morgan teased fans of the Prime Video animated series “Invincible” by posting a photo on Instagram of him buying two comic book compendiums of the series, sparking speculation that he will join the show’s cast. Robert Kirkman, the co-creator and executive producer, was thanked in the caption, but Amazon Studios has not yet confirmed Morgan’s involvement. Kirkman hinted that future seasons of “Invincible” could contain new material not in the original comics, with the possibility of wholly original episodes written by him. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

MoviePass and Xbox

MoviePass and Xbox

MoviePass is back in a very big way. This week they've launched their nationwide beta test. There's a lot of details in this. We're actually going to be trying this out ourselves and doing a full review on the podcast, The Geek Freaks podcast. So check that out, guys. But basically, you guys can return to the theaters using MoviePass nationwide now. X-Box and Bethesda had their developer direct, which showed off a few of the upcoming games. Most notable was basically gameplay for Minecraft legends, a new Elder Scrolls expansion and Red Fall. Nothing major here. They were just good little updates. They're kind of going with the Nintendo route and just doing more frequent updates. The special thing about this is that it was the developers themselves showing off their game. On our website we put up all the trailers, so if you guys want to poke around and check out those trailers. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

Titans, Spidey, and Thunderbolts

Titans, Spidey, and Thunderbolts

HBO Max has canceled the shows "Doom Patrol" and "Titans" and James Gunn has said this was not his doing and was planned months ago. It's disappointing as both these shows have a lot of fans. Tobey Maguire is willing to play Spider-Man again and the possibility of using both Tobey Maguire and Garfield in future Spider-Man movies. Marvel's Thunderbolts cast expands and this movie is a big deal for Marvel as it will be a "patch over Avengers" and it will shape the future of the MCU. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

343 Here to Stay

343 Here to Stay

343 Industries, the studio behind the Halo franchise, has denied rumors that it has been taken off of lead development of the Halo franchise and has stated that it will continue to "develop Halo now and in the future". This statement was made by the studio head Pierre Hintze on Twitter. The news follows the mass layoffs of 10,000 people at Microsoft, which saw a number of employees at Xbox Game Studios, The Coalition, 343 Industries, and Bethesda let go. Rumors then started swirling that 343 Industries would be taken off lead development of the Halo franchise and would instead help third-party studios bring Halo to life in the form of new games. The studio has denied these rumors and said it is here to stay. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks -Headlines Theme Song- "Neon Laser Horizon" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Blizzard's Last Day in China

Blizzard's Last Day in China

Activision Blizzard, the publisher of Overwatch 2 and World of Warcraft, has said that Chinese publisher NetEase declined a last-minute offer to extend their publishing deal in China. This means that services for games such as Overwatch 2, Hearthstone, and other Blizzard titles will be discontinued on January 23rd as planned. In November, the company announced that it was looking for alternative ways to bring its games to China but no further information has been revealed. As a result, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft III: Reforged, Overwatch 2, the StarCraft series, Diablo III, and Heroes of the Storm will no longer be playable in China. However, Diablo: Immortal, Blizzard’s mobile game, is published under a separate agreement and is unaffected at the moment. We hope our brothers and sisters can return to Azeroth and their communities soon.
