Amouranth opens up on \u201cunwarranted danger\u201d of Twitch stardom after threats Twitter: AmouranthKaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa opened up about the \u201cunwarranted danger\u201d of Twitch stardom and revealed the extent of harassment she and other female content creators are subject to. Amouranth is no stranger to being harassed both online and in person. She\u2019s endured everything from arson attacks to people trying to cancel her. It\u2019s even gotten to the point where she considered quitting for good. However, she has weathered the storm and persevered \u2014 so far. In 2021, she was crowned the top female Twitch star of the year. But it came at the hefty price of being exposed to \u201cunwarranted danger,\u201d which she opened about on social media. \u201cI don\u2019t hate what I do. I don\u2019t hate how much I do it usually even,\u201d said Amouranth. \u201cIt\u2019s the harassment [that I hate]. The unwarranted danger that comes from it when I\u2019m just doing my own thing, minding my own business.\u201d Amouranth also explained how female streamers are subject to the worst of it: \u201cAll women content creators get varying degrees of harassment, but being live exposes you to the most extreme form of said persecution. \u201cMultiply that by the frequency and duration that one streams, then amplify for scale and view count. Someone lacking empathy wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d I don\u2019t hate WHAT I do. I don\u2019t hate how much I do it usually even. It\u2019s the harassment, the unwarranted danger that comes from it when I\u2019m just doing my own thin, minding my own biz and not hurting anyone. Someone lacking empathy or smol just wouldn\u2019t understand https:\/\/t.co\/BLB8SsKnVz \u2014 Kaitlyn (@wildkait) December 31, 2021 Amouranth isn\u2019t the only content creator who has spoken about these issues. In August 2021, Ludwig Ahgren revealed the \u201cterrifying\u201d reality of being a Twitch star, especially for female streamers. However, if Amouranth ever decides to step away due to all the harassment, it will mark a new beginning. She even has a \u2018retirement\u2019 plan in mind \u2014 but it\u2019ll be far more disconnected than her current online presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
