Emiru has officially shared her stance on the incident that occurred during the meet and greet Twitch streamer at TwitchCon 2025, involving an overzealous fan attack. TwitchCon usually serves as one of the biggest events of the year for the streaming platform, with all the biggest creators on the web getting the chance to interact and meet their passionate fans. The event usually features some of Twitch's most popular talent, with creators like Amouranth, CodeMiko, and ExtraEmily on this year's guest list. However, the event was already marred by one controversial fan interaction.
Popular streamer Emiru was on the receiving end of an unpleasant and potentially dangerous altercation with a fan during this year's TwitchCon. The incident involved a fan who burst into a meet and greet and attempted to hug and grab Emiru against her will, with security having to intervene to break up the interruption. The issue has already angered fans due to the lack of proper security for Twitch's top talent, with Twitch even making an official statement about the controversy. Now Emiru is speaking out with his own take on the incident.
Today, Emiru officially shared a statement with her own stance and opinions on the controversial attack at TwitchCon. Emiru quickly put Twitch in the firing line as part of the post, stating that the men were “allowed to cross more barriers” and even went through another streamer's meet and greet to get to her. Emiru shared that the employee involved in the incident was her own personal security, suggesting that TwitchCon staff did not do their part to keep the talent safe. The streamer even revealed that the unknown assailant was not officially apprehended until a few hours after the incident.

Emiru's reflections on the incident at TwitchCon ended with some somber words for other streamers who may be considering attending the event. Emiru suggested that despite her ten years attending TwitchCon, other creators should potentially consider not attending the event due to the clear security risks. Emiru said she “didn't feel protected” by Twitch staff during the event, instead having to rely on her own security to protect her from unwanted intruders.
The unfortunate event at TwitchCon comes at a time when Twitch's top creators have seen a lot of major changes over the past few months. Beloved content creator IShowSpeed made waves with his long-awaited return to Twitch in July, amassing 1 million followers on the platform within a week of his return. Amouranth similarly returned to Twitch this summer as well, after leaving the platform for rival Kick two years ago. Fans can only hope that Emiru's unfortunate incident on Twitch will lead to better security and protection for the platform's streamers.
