Streamer and cosplayer Emiru was assaulted during a meet and greet at TwitchCon 2025, with video of the moment quickly spreading across social media.
The incident happened on October 17 at the San Diego Convention Center when a male attendee approached Emiru on stage and grabbed her without consent. Security rushed in moments later, pulling the man away as Emiru was escorted off stage.
Twitch subsequently responded on October 18, describing the incident as “completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting,” in a statement released on X/Twitter.

Twitch further stated that law enforcement and on-site security responded to the incident, with the individual being “immediately blocked” from the venue as well as being “banned indefinitely from Twitch.”
The platform added that it has increased security at the meet and greet check-in area, introduced more personnel around participating streamers, and suspended plus-one access for the rest of the weekend.
The platform reiterated its “zero tolerance for harassment or acts that inhibit the safety and security of our community.”
It’s not the first time Emiru has faced harassment at public events. Earlier this year, she and fellow streamers Valkyrae and Cinna were targeted by a stalker during a Santa Monica appearance. This ordeal raised similar concerns about the safety of creators at fan conventions.
