On November 7, streaming giant Twitch delivered its second formal apology regarding the platform's failure to safeguard prominent content creator Emily Beth 'Emiru' Schunk from assault during TwitchCon in San Diego. Despite announcing plans to contribute to non-profit organizations dedicated to combating sexual harassment, both fans and fellow creators expressed dissatisfaction with the streaming service's latest social media statement.

During the 2025 TwitchCon event at the San Diego Convention Center, Emiru experienced harassment and physical assault from an unidentified attendee while participating in a meet-and-greet session. The alleged perpetrator remained at large for several hours following the incident. In an October broadcast, Emiru confirmed she had filed an official police report to pursue assault and harassment charges against the individual responsible, while also criticizing Twitch for its inadequate security measures and lack of accountability. The streaming community responded with overwhelming support for Emiru and her management team in the aftermath of the troubling event.

Although Twitch had previously addressed Emiru's assault in an October statement, the platform felt compelled to issue additional commentary through social media channels. In a November 7 post on X, Twitch acknowledged its failure to ensure Emiru's safety and prevent the assault incident from occurring at TwitchCon. The company indicated it would honor Emiru's advocacy by making donations to non-profit organizations focused on combating sexual assault and harassment, though specific details regarding future implementation plans remained undisclosed.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy published a separate statement on X, admitting he had failed to communicate effectively during a TwitchCon interview concerning Emiru's situation and the convention's overall security status. Building upon his earlier apology regarding TwitchCon's security shortcomings, Clancy committed to revisiting the platform's security protocols for future events and enhancing communication processes with users. However, the response to both Twitch's and Clancy's social media posts remained predominantly negative. Numerous users and content creators argued that while supporting non-profit organizations represents a positive step, Twitch had not taken sufficient measures to restore confidence in the platform following the TwitchCon incident. Some community members even called for Clancy's resignation as Twitch CEO due to his acknowledged failures during the convention.

As of current reporting, Emiru has not provided additional public commentary regarding the TwitchCon incident and has remained absent from streaming on the platform since October 25. The streaming community now awaits concrete actions from Twitch and TwitchCon organizers to implement meaningful security improvements that will genuinely protect both users and content creators at future events.
