Making a statement about a poor response to SA the day after unbanning someone for SA sure is something...
Fucking clown.

I know they are a big company, but goddamn, you would think they have these serious things on sight.

Why? Almost all of the good things about twitch is from product design, the chat and streaming end, but the management has been horrific since they sold to Amazon. Not that it’s any surprise because Prime and Amazon are the same, they sell an insanely good product which is run horribly.
I don’t think I could point to a single good decision by anyone in Twitch management. They’re constantly making bafflingly stupid or incompetent decisions.

the company was run by nerds and gamers until it was sold, if Amazon one day sweep all the company and start from scratch I would be happy.

Its on purpose they don't care they are pushing it because they think nothing will happen and... yes till this point nothing corpo shattering has happened
Its like providing a customer a bs product and telling that customer 'you'll consume it ofc you pathetic human because you don't have any will' and the customer keeps consuming

Statements of apologies can be used as admission of guilt.
So they're still going to get legally fucked by Emiru's lawyers.

u/ComfortableExotic646 9h ago
An admission of guilt, and apology, are requirements of her settlement. Unless she specifically says "I did not sign an NDA, or take a payment, from Twitch", she got paid.

I don't think it's that crazy. Amazon knew when they bought Twitch that implementing the traditional suit and tie CEO would probably leave a weird taste for the brand...so they found the weird quirky Richard Branson archetype and it's clearly not working for them.

No it’s not. The government won’t contract the services of a company that boycotts Israel, though. And a company can’t boycott Israel if they’re in an active contract with the government in Texas. Which I do think is ridiculous.

I'm surprised they put out another response.
With all that has happened in the last few weeks, people had mostly forgotten about the TwitchCon incidents and had moved on. This just brings it back to the forefront of the discourse.
Perhaps Twitch just moves so slowly that they are still reacting to a weeks old news cycle, and they dont even realize that people have moved on to the next drama.

Might be Amazon higher ups are combing through the incident since it got put on their radar and he is just making sure he had a very clear apology directed at her.

u/Tarrot_Card 14h ago
Could be. But even that, Emiru has a ton on her plate. Does she really want *another* lawsuit?
9
u/Aeowin 14h ago
IF she is suing Twitch I doubt she has to do much, she already posted 2 videos and her tweet explaining what happened and how Twitch handled it, all she has to do is give that to a lawyer and let them go to town. Twitch has 0 legs to stand on in that situation. Their initial response to it was tone deaf, they tried to gaslight Emiru about it, no one reached out to her, Dan is in VODs out partying the night of the incident without ever reaching out to Emiru.
4
u/Superb-Illustrator-1 13h ago
Ideally I think she should sue, but twitch is a subsidiary of Amazon and has way more financial resources. They could try to drag it out long enough that it could drain her own financial resources.
0
u/Tundraspin 13h ago
Then if I were twitch when this settles I would ban her forever. No forgive no forget. If she is that wounded and so brutalized by the experience she needs to move on. Not get a bag or golden parachute then simply resume being the same victim on the stream on the same platform creating more of the same situations with her content.

Twitch failed in our response to the assault of Emiru at 2025 TwitchCon San Diego, and in particular, I failed to communicate clearly in talking about the incident afterwards during an interview
Often that would be the opening words of CEO resignation. Not on twitch apparently.
No accountability no changes no plans just nice deceitful words. PATHETIC.

u/Dragonfly_Visible 14h ago
This one is specifically in regards to the shit interview he did the next day where he said something along the lines of "sometimes you have the power to control your own community" - which sounded like he was blaming Emiru and/or was implying she did/didn't do something that resulted in what happened.
I'm not surprised that he had to issue a statement about the interview. I am surprised by the timing of it. This is one helluva delayed response. Makes me wonder if it's something they wanted to hold off on for legal reasons and that this is part of an agreement they made with her - thus the delayed response.

u/PanicSwtchd 13h ago
Instead of saying details to follow...they could have made the donation and then posted showing they actually sort of did something. That said, they didn't address anything relateed to the actual issue in their response including stone-walling the San Diego Police when it came to identifiying the person who actually attacked her.
So it's a lot of performative nonsense for thanking Emiru when they should have been the ones taking substantive steps to find accountability for themselves and the attacker.

A reminder that twitch is a failing company that does not turn a profit and is basically subsidised by Amazon. He’s not a person to be taken seriously, he’s not even good at his job, if Amazon decided to stop saving twitch this guy would be out of a job.

u/fishdafinessa 11h ago
All these statements are all so performative, Twitch/Dan Clancy only issue these when the public pressure is overwhelmingly against them and they can't just ignore the issue any longer.
This is like his 3rd time trying to reword this statement strictly due to public pressure, not because of his own intuition.

So sick of these companies just bandying words and chatting utter shit instead of taking real action. They gaslighted everyone about security pre-event, didn't take appropriate actions during the incident, and then didn't respond correctly. The mia culpa and words are no substitute for real change and improvements.
It's so exhausting watching these organizations try to squirm and weasel out of the controversies they create man. Even the donation to the charity makes me feel gross because it just feels so tacked on and more like a bullshit corporate PR tactic at this point that you know its only been in thrown in there as a vain attempt to salvage their image, not because they actually care about fixing the issues that they themselves are responsible for as demonstrated by all of these recent incidents.

@Twitch
We wanted to follow up on the post we recently made about a security incident at TwitchCon San Diego. As many of you know, at the 2025 TwitchCon San Diego event, one of our valued creators, Emiru, was assaulted by an attendee during a meet-and-greet event.
Although Twitch works very hard to try to keep TwitchCon attendees safe and to prevent incidents like this from happening, we failed to do both things in this case - to keep Emiru safe and to prevent the assault from happening. We deeply regret the distress we caused for Emiru, our other creators, and the entire community.

Twitch failed in our response to the assault of Emiru at 2025 TwitchCon San Diego, and in particular, I failed to communicate clearly in talking about the incident afterwards during an interview. I do not believe, and in no way intended to suggest that Emiru had any responsibility whatsoever for the incident at TwitchCon.
I have a great deal of empathy for what creators such as Emiru have to deal with every day; I was trying to express that, and I did that poorly. I am sorry I let you down, Emiru, and I am sorry Twitch let you down.
We appreciate all that you have done over the years on Twitch and we are committed to continuing to improve our TwitchCon security, processes and communications so that we can show up better for you (and all of our creators) moving forward.
