Why is TipkinCoon so different from retailers?

It seems like every year at TxipCon, something goes wrong.

In 2022, the death foam disaster left a silent man on his back. In the year 2024, the most connected transmission of the abusive victim, the sintful partners live in the convention. Stories of hacking, overloading, and insufficient response from the site are not uncommon.

Major creators, including Valkyrae, QTCInderella, Hasan Piker, Hidden Toast, and Yvonnie, have all publicly opted out of where they are in 2025, creating safety concerns.

Also this year, in Emiru, a A strike with almost two million followersthere was was attacked in his meeting-and-greeting On the first day of TptchCON 2025 in San Diego. Her attacker jumped over several obstacles, grabbed her face, and tried to kiss her before her safety intervened. Ttptcon security, he says, was nowhere to be found. Twiptint’s official response was a lengthy post on X explaining that “the safety and security of all attendees” is the event’s top priority.

“Twitch has zero tolerance for abuse or actions that impede the safety and security of our community,” the post read.

In a Send to xEmiru said he was “hurt and offended by the way it bled during and after the fact.” He insisted that it was his own employee – not event security – who intervened, and that Dipkin Chtpinity employees “did not allow the promoter to leave.”

“The woman who took me for a walk with my personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who looked at me and comforted me were her and my friend,” he wrote. “No one on the TiptCon staff will ask what’s going on even if I’m right.”

After a clip of the attack went viral on Social Media, Twitch said the man was immediately removed and permanently banned from the platform and future events. Emiru called it a “blatant lie.” .

“He was allowed to go to my meet-and-greet,” he wrote. “I didn’t hear he was caught until hours later – and it felt like it only happened because of my manager pushing it.”

This was, he said: “His last Twnccon.

He wrote: “I don’t feel cared for or protected, until I bring my own and the workers. “I can’t imagine how they created without those options.”

His statement found what has become a growing chorus: TxixitCon is not a safe bet.

This does not happen in other meetings

In other large fan events – such as San Diego Comic-Con, held in the same area of ​​the San Diego Convention Center, or Vidcon – The plan is there: Celebrities are there, and there are physical obstacles, and there are obstacles in between. These steps are not perfect, but they are flexible. The structure of those events is built on a basic understanding: People who attract millions of viewers online need real world protection.

When creators began to compare their battingcon experience to those at other conventions, a clear gap emerged in how security was handled.

Jessica Wyatt, Drips partner and Gamer, Shared in X That at Pax – a separate gaming convention – a member of the discussion found out that he was there, flew to Melbourne, and “waited all day outside the gate.” He said he was telling her, he confessed his love, he tortured her. After he escaped and alerted the pax staff, the response was swift.

Wyatt wrote: “They were very responsive and took it seriously. “Because of their risk, I was on pax in just one hour to do brand work only. The head of security informed and placed three guards near me, so they saw that everyone came to me,”

Some elders point out how helpful and considerate he is Security was at other gamerspsps Events like Anime Expo in Los Angeles as well Other Cons.

TxitCON, meanwhile, hasn’t quite found a rhythm. Fabrics roam the floor of the show, stream live content (known as IRL streaming), and interact with fans in real time – often without sessions, or even visible security, or even virtual staff. The same accessibility that made the internet feel authentic makes DIPCON feel like a silent revelation in person.

“TxinkCon, you failed Emiru. You failed your female creators and the women who were there,” Another fan wrote on X. “In just a few hours, you’ve shown the parasocial fans you’ve built a niche for yourself there [violence and violation] it is possible. While the public is decrying this and wants to change, there are those who are watching this and see that it is possible – and there may be planning to do the same, or worse, to some female faders before the end of other women. “

Is the fish relationship suspect?

In part, yes. Broadcasting thrives on parasocial intimacy, or the illusion of friendship between Creator and viewer. Unlike most YouTubers who attend vidcons or celebrities who attend Comic-Con, Twitchers live for hours a day, respond to chat messages in real time, and create a sense of two-time relationships. For some viewers, the border between “I support you” and “I know”. Emotional intimacy can be put to the test when fans meet creators in real life.

For Streams, the risk multipliers are because they are expected to be accessible. Lovers of bugging, chatting on camera, walking on the floor – this touch is part of the culture that twists and turns. The company has a long-standing DipkingCon marketed as an IRL community festival, but hasn’t built the infrastructure to make the community safe in the event of a spill.

The parasocial problem does not stop at local doors. Many vendors have stalkers that track their locations online or through live broadcasts. In March, while he was traveling through Santa Monica with Sherts Cinna and Valkyrae, it is said that a man threatened to kill Emiru, according to a report from the BBC. Some creators have been harassed or harassed in the midst of media coverage. When those threats follow physical events where everyone knows exactly where they are, the public is exposed.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy seemed to think that some of the problems are caused by parasocial relationships online, and it seems that the creators themselves hold the responsibility of their followers.

Of course, Twisting has security measures on its site, but that usually covers the necessary security measures for an event like Txpining. One of the attendees asked Clancy about the safety of one of the Q&As on the last day of TptchCON. The audience applauded this question, but not so much money. This is what he said:

Two different issues really, so first I’ll talk briefly about it [safety at TwitchCon]: It’s something we spend a lot of time on. Obviously, there are mistakes and part of it is about responding in certain ways and we’ve done that here to respond to what happened, so we need to continue to do that.

On the Internet, I think this is an area where we have invested some time. It is an area where we need to continue to invest. I think most people who use many of our tools understand how tools can help protect. I think that Livestreaming offers some advantages in terms of the ability to control your community, but it is still an issue for all people – not just women, but also unlimited groups that suffer from online harassment.

And it’s something we care deeply about, and we’re always looking at how we can continue to invest in helping creators as they continue their journey.

Clancy also said during the Interview with reporter Taylor Lorenz that the challenge they face today is “the challenge of today’s society; it is not limited to copying.”

I think that when you breathe, in many ways – because you control your community and you can give it to people – you can make it so that those people don’t want to engage with you and interact with you. It’s very different when I use other short content and people say all kinds of things. Yeah, I can’t let that go. But when I’m acting, I basically don’t bother.

Now, what happened [to Emiru] Yesterday is clearly something we care deeply about. We are very attentive to everything that happens there, and I care deeply about them [Emiru] – He is my friend – so I want to see how we can support him to do that. But this is just something we can continue to work on.

I think everyone points to our tools, in terms of trust and security, as leaders in the industry in terms of helping creators, but that means there’s more work to be done, because that’s the world we live in now.

The truth is, as much as you do in terms of security, in today’s world there are problems that can happen, especially when someone puts them there. We try to work closely with each Creator on what they want to do and what works for you, so I don’t want to get into any specifics or details. But part of that is working with creators … right now, we’re definitely very good at making sure that creators know that we have resources out there to help them find what’s right for them.

Why does DintCon do it so well?

This year’s meeting had a lot of security in place. You had to go through security to get into the convention center, including metal detectors, and backpacks were not allowed. You had to scan your wristband to enter additional entry points. As written before the CO, there were “multiple layers of protection, both visible and behind the scene.”

“While we are not disclosing specific security details to maintain the integrity of our operations, attendees can expect to see a coordinated presence of law enforcement and other security personnel throughout the venue,” Trinks wrote.

And yet, no one stopped the intruder from attacking Emiru.

TxitTON keeps getting security wrong because the event was designed for access, not protection. Its identity is built on proximity. Preventing security means limiting that access.

And for some, like the fanfan base, that more security isn’t worth equal security. He rejected the proposed protection, saying that he wanted to move independently in the meeting. “I don’t like being killed,” he told mashable. “Yesterday, they put security on me, and I had to ask them to let him go. I should have taken a private place, and I was not allowed to look at a private car.”

Instead, he carries what he calls his essentials during IRL petting: “I’ve got pepper spray, a taser, and a rapier, and what I really need [special] to keep myself safe. I just hope my listeners don’t take sides. “

Fanfan’s points are selected from a major paradox: Twitjete cannot easily fix security without explaining what access and independence actually mean for its site. Until then, ThtCon security will continue to feel active, not restrictive – and high-profile spammers can continue to extract.
