Emiru attacked, Twitch blames her?! [0:11]
Emiru was assaulted at a meet and greet during TwitchCon, and Twitch's response was widely criticized. The attacker tried to kiss her and was initially allowed to walk away before Emiru's manager intervened. Security personnel were seen laughing after the incident and did not immediately assist. Emiru expressed being shaken and upset by the reaction of Twitch staff, noting the lack of security and concern for her well-being. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy's response, where he suggested streamers should better manage their communities, was seen as victim-blaming. Clancy stated that Twitch prioritizes creator safety and is working to improve security, but many feel the platform failed Emiru.
Dokibird HUGE free concert [9:48]
Doki Bird, an independent English-speaking VTuber, is releasing the director's cut of her birthday concert from Anime Expo 2025 for free on her YouTube channel.

The free release allows all fans, including those who attended the concert, to enjoy the performance.

Matara Kan, an independent English-speaking VTuber formerly associated with Vojo, attended TwitchCon with a faceless, masked appearance.

Suisei was rejected by Nijisanji?! [12:51]
Hoshimachi Suisei, a VTuber associated with Hololive JP, initially wanted to join Nijisanji but was rejected. Suisei insisted on keeping her VTuber persona and community, which was a barrier to joining Nijisanji. She was later accepted into Hololive through Inonaka Music, eventually transferring to Hololive. Suisei's persistence and desire to retain control over her IP and community ultimately led her to Hololive, where she found success.
