Famous Minecraft streamer TommyInnit recently described how someone at TwitchCon 2022 had attacked and tormented him and his viewers.
At his meet-and-greet, he brought up the event and lashed out at the actions. He expressed regret to his followers and said that what happened was entirely wrong.
At TwitchCon 2022 in Amsterdam, TommyInnit and many other well-known Minecraft streamers were there. The appearance of Minecraft streamers like WilburSoot, Ph1LzA, Tubbo, Jack Manifold, Ranboo, and many more caused a great deal of excitement. These streamers were attached to numerous panels throughout the event. One of these was a meet-and-greet where followers could speak with their preferred streamers in person.
Someone here began to intimidate and harass other fans. TommyInnit was incensed when he learned about it after the meet and greet, and he vented his anger in a recent stream: “You can’t do that to people, you just can’t. I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re in school, being made fun of when they’re lining up to meet me.”
TommyInnit welcomed his viewers to his most recent stream and then talked about how fantastic TwitchCon 2022 and the entire trip were. In order to debate this important matter, he soon adjusted his streaming configuration and turned off the stream chat and donation notifications. He began by addressing the bully and how they started upsetting the people waiting in line to meet him. The Minecraft streamer expressed regret for not being aware of the situation at the time and only finding out about it later. Tommy even discussed the situation with the TwitchCon hosts and security. Even though the event coordinators wanted Tommy to be safe, he was more upset that his fans weren’t given more attention. Tommy anticipates more security for the upcoming TwitchCon, which will take place in San Diego.
He described how the bully was yelling at his admirers and how this behavior was not at all acceptable. He voiced his sincere rage at the fan accosting other fans. “I’m never really angry. But it made me like, actually furious.”
He attempted to message everyone impacted by the incident after speaking with the event crew and apologized. After the incident, the streamer felt the urge to address this behavior on his own stream. He sternly cautioned everyone, emphasizing that this is unacceptable anywhere, not just at conferences like TwitchCon. “I won’t have it. Don’t make fun of people for being passionate about anything, being happy.”
The 18-year-old described how, while attempting to fit in, he was bullied at school. Later, he urged viewers to avoid bullies who try to bring them down and to be passionate about whatever that makes them happy.
