'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment - Lemmy.zip

I can imagine that this type of celebrity attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans with borderline personality disorder and/or other potentially dangerous and antisocial behaviors.

That’s not an excuse to assault somebody

Hold people accountable instead of blaming the victim

Let’s be honest here, Emiru is literally a bland do-nothing loser who cultivated her fan… I mean cult in a certain way to make it easier for her to fleece money off of desperate men.

No one’s denying it is assault. In fact a lot of people say incident was waaaaaay too outrageous to be not considered staged. (Remember the whole Amouranth’s fake abuse case where she framed her husband & was later revealed to be bullshit.)

At the end of the day, the person will go to jail, but this was a case of their toxic manipulative behaviour backfiring on them.

What you’ve just done here is called “victim-blaming”
I believe you skipped over the part where I said it was assault

Acknowledging it was assault is not the same thing as not blaming the victim. People who say “she deserved to get raped” are acknowledging that a victim was raped.

I’ve not looked into Amouranth. This thread is about Emiru. Who is not culpable - in any way - for her assault. This is not something “backfiring” on her.
