I can imagine that this type of celebrity attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans with borderline personality disorder and/or other potentially dangerous and antisocial behaviors.
Certainly an environment that encourages a lot of people to just be nice to everyone in stream by default (except when someone is deemed acceptable to be yelled at and laughed at by everyone else for content...) and some people are lonely enough that they read a little too much into "HI [username]!"
dont talk about their fans like that!

That's not an excuse to assault somebody
Hold people accountable instead of blaming the victim
Who’s blaming the victim?
I’m blaming the one-way relationship celebrity culture. It seems like a breeding ground for people with serious social issues.
Pointing out who is likely to be a fan of hers isn't "blaming the victim". It's being realistic about what she has to deal with. It shouldn't happen, but bad people exist. Can't ignore that.
You need to re-read that comment
Did we read the same message?
Let's be a bit honest here, Emiru is literally a bland do-nothing person who cultivated her fan.... I mean cult in a certain way to make it easier for her to fleece money off of desperate men.
No one's denying it is assault & at the end of the day, the person will go to jail (& he deserves it), but this was a case of their toxic manipulative behaviour backfiring on them.
What you’ve just done here is called “victim-blaming”
I believe you skipped over the part where I said it was assault & as for victim-blaming, remember Amouranth's case where it was revealed that she staged her "abuse".
Yeah you're too naive to be on the internet. 2 things can be right at the same time
Acknowledging it was assault is not the same thing as not blaming the victim. People who say “she deserved to get raped” are acknowledging that a victim was raped.
I’ve not looked into Amouranth. This thread is about Emiru. Who is not culpable - in any way - for her assault. This is not something “backfiring” on her.
You make the women in your life uncomfortable.
Says the creep, who wants to be that one good man so that he can get in their pants. No ones denying the assault (Me included).
Are you hearing yourself right now?
That's YOUR interpretation. The correct one is she doesn't deserve it; but let's not kid ourselves. If it was someone like Asmongold (who I don't like) you'd be singing a very different tune
