Things were a little uncomfortable at Popeyes for Twitch star ExtraEmily recently. She had been livestreaming her quest to find the best chicken sandwich in her area, which had already taken her to KFC, McDonald's, and Shake Shack. She decided to stop at Popeyes to try their sandwich and share her thoughts with her viewers.
Livestreaming has become more than just playing video games, with many content creators now venturing out into the real world to take on challenges and explore cities. ExtraEmily is one of the most popular In Real Life streamers on Twitch, known for her daring stunts such as cooking a steak in a car park (though some accused her of making meth). However, her streams can sometimes cause friction with others, as was the case when she filmed herself eating at Popeyes.
As she sat down to eat and describe her chicken sandwich, a woman approached her after hearing a loud subscription notification. The woman called out ExtraEmily, saying she was being ridiculous. The streamer was taken aback and decided it was time to leave. Surprisingly, fans on Reddit were on the woman's side in this situation.
Recently, there has been criticism towards streamers for disrupting people's peace and privacy, with one user on Reddit even suggesting that the woman, dubbed "Karen," was in the right. Another user added that they would also speak up if they were trying to enjoy a meal and constantly interrupted by loud donations.
After the confrontation, ExtraEmily noticed the woman leaving the restaurant and heading towards a Wendy's across the way. She wondered if her livestreaming had caused the woman to leave Popeyes and potentially lose the restaurant a customer. Her fans urged her to follow the woman to the other restaurant, but she decided to use the drive-through instead to avoid any potential confrontations.
This situation is not unfamiliar for content creators, as seen earlier this year when Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed were called "idiots" by an older woman for their antics in a supermarket. Some fans have expressed their discomfort with the idea of potentially meeting a content creator while out at a restaurant.
