Overview
- Dan Clancy said Twitch "failed" in both preventing the attack and in its response, apologized to Emiru, and acknowledged mismanaged communications including his prior comments.
- Twitch launched a comprehensive review of meet-and-greets and overall convention safety, examining sign-ups, venue layout, increased security controls, IRL streaming rules, and accessibility.
- Emiru disputed Twitch’s initial claim that the assailant was immediately detained, saying he walked away and was only caught hours later, and she confirmed she is pressing charges.
- Emiru further alleged Twitch initially refused to provide the suspect’s name to San Diego police, saying it was given later following a tip, with an investigation ongoing.
- The incident intensified creator scrutiny of TwitchCon safety after several high-profile streamers skipped the event over security concerns and past harassment reports.
