Streamer claims she was roofied while in San Diego for TwitchCon TwitchTwitchCon 2019 is underway in San Diego, California, bringing with it some of the platform\u2019s biggest entertainers \u2013 but not every attendee is having the time of their lives. TwitchCon stands as one of the site\u2019s largest gatherings of the year, bringing top streamers and fans from across the globe to a single location to celebrate one of the net\u2019s biggest live streaming platforms. Despite being a time for communion and fellowship with other streamers and fans, this year\u2019s TwitchCon has already been met with some contention \u2013 and one broadcaster may have almost lost her life at a party going down while the event is in town. https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/stevendepolo\/7647150980Streamer \u201cKTLODO\u201d posted a Tweet on the morning of September 28 claiming that she had been roofied at a party in San Diego, stating that a toxin report had come back with traces of benzodiazepines \u2013 a class of tranquilizer that can be deadly when mixed with alcohol. \u201cSo last night I got roofied,\u201d she wrote. \u201c\u2026Thankfully my friends were there for me and saved my life. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be around the rest of TwitchCon. Hope you understand.\u201d So last night I got roofied. Toxins came back with benzos in my system which combined with alcohol could\u2019ve meant death. Thankfully my friends were there for me and saved my life. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be around the rest of twitchcon. Hope you understand. \u2014 KT :sparkles:@ TwitchCon (@KTLODO) September 28, 2019 The streamer went on to upload a photo of herself in the hospital, showing her arm hooked to an IV and revealing that the drug had caused her to stop breathing for an extended length of time. \u201c\u2026yes, the amount of benzos in my system and alcohol made my breathing stop for a long period of time,\u201d she continued. \u201c\u2026This is not for attention. I just wanted to let my friends know what happened.\u201d Not that I have to prove anything to anyone, but yes, the amount of benzos in my system and alcohol made my breathing stop for a long period of time. I was not okay. This is not for attention. I just wanted to let my friends know what happened. Now let me rest. pic.twitter.com\/ukHlWTIvbC \u2014 KT :sparkles:@ TwitchCon (@KTLODO) September 28, 2019 Although the drugging did not take place during TwitchCon proper, KTLODO\u2019s post confirms fears of security at such events (or even adjacent parties), with streamer Anne Munition noting the danger of unattended drinks at a TwitchCon Partner party on September 26. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge health and safety concern, and I\u2019ve heard many stories from friends and other partners about being drugged at past partner parties,\u201d she wrote of the matter. \u201cSo I hope everyone was okay tonight.\u201d Pretty disappointed tbh, I thought Twitch was starting to understand that some of us want the option of a quieter place for the partner party instead of a huge, loud party. Also THIS is a huge safety concern, how is this the way you’re serving drinks\u2026.. pic.twitter.com\/e0OfhRbLhT \u2014 Anne Munition @ TwitchCon (@AnneMunition) September 27, 2019 No matter the case, it\u2019s always a good idea to watch your drinks during parties \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t excuse the heinous act of drugging, itself, with victims prone to life-threatening complications that could end in death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
