IRL streamer stunned after creepy fan pays off taxi to drive her home Jinnytty, TwitchIRL Twitch streamer \u201cJinnytty\u201d was approached by a fan during a January broadcast \u2014 but things quickly got awkward after they pulled a stunt that left her visibly uncomfortable. While being an internet star might seem like a cake walk, the job can bring some obsessed fans out of the woodwork, who might perceive personalities\u2019 near-constant online availability as something more than it really is: just showbiz. IRL streamer and language buff Jinnytty was confronted by one such fan during a trip to Taiwan\u2019s Kenting National Park, during which she received a fairly large donation of 10,000 Twitch bits \u2014 $100 in US currency. However, those bits weren\u2019t donated by a viewer from the comfort of their own home; instead, the donator was actually \u201cwatching\u201d Jinny in real life, and approached the streamer after making his generous contribution. \u201cI know, you just gave it to me and you\u2019re here!\u201d Jinny exclaimed after the fan greeted her, handing her a plastic bag full of cake as a gift. The fan then revealed that his birthday was yesterday, prompting a short \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d from Jinny, who he\u2019d hoped to meet as part of his \u201cbirthday wish\u201d \u2014 but he wasn\u2019t done there, and even admitted to paying her taxi fare ahead of time so that he might take her home. Obviously, this didn\u2019t sit well with the streamer, who denied his request after deliberating the awkward situation with the taxi driver: but rather than taking her answer at face value, the fan made a bit of a scene. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do,\u201d Jinny admitted after stepping away to take care of the issue. \u201cHe\u2019s legit sad. I had to tell him, \u2018Don\u2019t be sad,\u2019 and stuff. Then, he said he\u2019s gonna sit down there for ten minutes, and then go. \u2026he\u2019s just sitting down on the ground. He\u2019s so sad.\u201d After receiving a few warning messages from her viewers, Jinny finally left the fan to his own devices, adding yet another chapter to the many instances of streamers\u2019 uncomfortable interactions with entitled fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
