Streamer FanFan questions Twitch’s safety measures after Emiru assault at TwitchCon

FanFan criticized Twitch’s TwitchCon security

Streamer FanFan has openly questioned Twitch’s approach to creator safety following the recent assault on fellow streamer Emiru at TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego, an incident that has intensified scrutiny of the platform’s event security policies.

During a recent broadcast, FanFan said Twitch insisted on assigning her a personal security guard after the incident, even though she declined the offer.

She claimed the measure appeared more focused on optics than genuine protection, stating, “It’s not even for me, it’s just for PR.”

According to her, the guard accompanied her everywhere, limiting her freedom to move and stream naturally.

Her remarks have resonated with many in the streaming community, as Twitch faces growing criticism for inconsistent safety measures and its response to reports of harassment and violence at official events.

The debate highlights the challenge Twitch faces in balancing safety and autonomy for its creators. While increased protection may reassure some streamers, others view it as intrusive or performative.

FanFan’s comments have reignited calls for Twitch to consult more closely with creators in shaping its on-site security policies, ensuring that safety measures feel supportive rather than imposed.
