Honestly he's kinda right, he's just retarded for saying it as if he doesn't also have responsibility for their safety.

It's both. They promised Twitchcon would have good security. They have Twitch security there, who didn't do their jobs. It's true everyone, including streamers, are responsible for their own safety, and should know the risks of all things in life, but when you go to an event with their own security, and your main security guy is banned...it's on Twitch to protect you. They didn't.

It's just like in society; if the government says you can't defend yourself, and their people will handle things, and something happens to you, it is the government that failed too.

These camgirls know what kind of desperate losers they're taking money from...

Yeah, it is certainly a weird situation. Not familiar with the streamer, but from what I've seen the content certainly isn't for me. It's true she knows she's creating parasocial relationships, and weirdos will want to do things to her. It's still true that doesn't justify the assault either, though. Which I know isn't what you're saying.

Anyway, point is, sure, she knew the risks. Doesn't make it any less evil that Twitch - who definitely have a a duty to protect people at their own event, much less protect their streamers who are (sort of) employees - is trying to dodge all responsibility for what is, almost completely, their failure. They fucked up by not defending one of the most obvious points of attack, while banning the other people who should have been protecting her.

He might as well have said "You hoes know I'm a bad pimp who'll let the Johns hurt you." Yeah, he is, and they should have known, and really should have taken that into consideration before they decided to work the corner.

Yup, also true.

It really is sad, though. No matter how you feel about these people, some of the shit their fans do to them are awful to hear about. Plenty of people have been stalked, attacked, airtagged, and so much more. That still sucks.
