IRL with Bodyguards and Counseling Support.
Given the recent rise in stalking, threats, and attacks on IRL streamers, I believe it’s long overdue for Twitch to implement a third-party security system to provide bodyguards for high-profile, at-risk streamers. Time and time again, we hear about streamers facing dangerous situations while broadcasting IRL content, yet little has been done to address these threats. It’s clear that a change is needed—Twitch must take action now.
Additionally, I strongly believe that 24/7 counseling support should be available for any streamer who experiences distress or discomfort if such a system is not already in place.
I don’t know if real change will happen, but starting this conversation is a necessary first step.
