TwitchCon Faces Outrage After Twitch Staff Allegedly Threw Away Gifts for VTubers Like Ironmouse and Chibidoki

What was supposed to be a celebration of community, creativity, and connection has quickly devolved into the most controversial TwitchCon in years.

First came the shocking revelation from beloved VTuber Ironmouse, who shared a heartbreaking update on X (Twitter):

“It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.”

Thousands of fans had spent hours crafting personal gifts and letters for their favorite VTubers, only to learn that Twitch staff had allegedly disposed of them without permission. A Reddit thread erupted with outrage.

Then came another blow. This time from streamer Scarra, who revealed disturbing details about how TwitchCon staff allegedly treated Chibidoki and her fans. According to Scarra, staff lied to fans waiting in line, telling them Chibi was sick and couldn’t see anyone else, when in truth she wasn’t sick at all. The staff then threw away the gifts meant for her too.

As if that weren’t enough, the weekend took an even darker turn when Emiru, a popular streamer known for her cosplays and League of Legends content, revealed she was assaulted when a fan tried to kiss her without consent during a photo session. The incident, captured on video and shared across social media, ignited discussions on boundaries, safety, and Twitch’s consistent failure to protect its creators.

The two incidents, Vtuber’s lost gifts and Emiru’s assault, became intertwined in public discourse, painting a grim picture of TwitchCon’s handling of both emotional respect and physical safety. Fans began to call out Twitch’s culture as “performative and corporate,” claiming the platform has lost touch with the humanity of its creators.
