The annual TwitchCon event was once again the talk of the streaming world, but this year's convention was not without its fair share of drama and controversy. The source of the chaos? A group of unruly Kick streamers who seemed determined to make their mark on the event.
For those not familiar, TwitchCon is a highly anticipated gathering that brings together both creators and fans from all corners of the streaming world. It's a chance for everyone to meet in person and celebrate their shared passion for content creation. But as we've seen in the past, things can get a little weird at TwitchCon.
In 2022, one fan famously paid for Amouranth to step on them, and adult movie star-turned-streamer Adriana Chechik even injured herself while jumping into a foam pit. But this year, the drama took a more unsettling turn as Kick streamers caused chaos and mayhem throughout the convention.
It all started when Kick streamer DBR666 arrived at TwitchCon, camera in hand, ready to document his experience and meet some of the top content creators in attendance. Among them was Nmplol, a popular Twitch star with over one million followers. But their encounter quickly took a bizarre turn when DBR666 decided to lick Nmplol's nipple through his shirt, much to the discomfort of the Twitch star.
But that wasn't the end of it. DBR666 also targeted another top streamer, xQc, who has a whopping 12 million followers. He shouted sexual comments at him and even chased him down, demanding "clout" from the famous creator. And if that wasn't enough, another Kick streamer, Shoovy, allegedly pushed a fellow content creator into a moving train, leading to a police report being filed.
All of this was caught on camera, as DBR666 continued to stream the chaos and drama surrounding the Kick streamers. And as if things couldn't get any worse, another Kick streamer, DariusIRL, caused a scene by accusing Twitch streamer Erobb of cheating on his partner. This resulted in a physical altercation between the two, which was quickly broken up by their friends.
Needless to say, the situation was out of control and unacceptable. Twitch streamer Tectone spoke out against the Kick streamers' behavior, calling it "harassment" and "a joke." He also mentioned how fellow streamer ExtraEmily felt unsafe around the Kick streamers and even had to run away from them twice.
Ever since Kick's launch in 2023, the platform has been known for its edgy and controversial content, with some streamers even performing dangerous stunts like racing through traffic. The platform has been criticized for its loose guidelines, and it seems to have attracted content creators with a similar mindset.
Twitch's CEO, Dan Clancy, has even called out Kick for poaching their top streamers instead of focusing on expanding the industry. He compared it to how TikTok focuses on bringing in new creators rather than stealing from their competitors.
It's clear that Twitch and Kick are not the best of friends, and this year's TwitchCon only added fuel to the fire. Despite all the chaos and drama, the convention was still a success, and fans and creators alike were able to come together and celebrate their love for streaming. Let's hope that next year's event will be free of any unruly and disruptive behavior.
