However, being a top streamer is not without its demerits, as Anita has admitted that she has dealt with a long-term stalker over the past several months. According to Anita, the stalker moved to her city and even slept outside of her home, prompting the streamer to reach out to law enforcement to deal with the issue. He has also gone from planning a short visit my town, to moving to a place 4 minutes from me permanently. I’m very used to the lack of protection from the police at this point, I guess I’ll have to get used to seeing him around too. \u2014 Sweet Anita (@sweetanita) November 8, 2019 However, things escalated after the stalker followed Anita into a shop, who then chased her. Luckily, the perpetrator was detained by two shopkeepers who were able to diffuse the situation \u2014 but even after taking their statements and finding a knife on the man, police released him with a mere \u201ccaution.\u201d Months later, Anita has revealed a screenshotted comment written by the very same stalker in her Twitch chat, which appears to be a pointed death threat against her. \u201cI\u2019ll kill you soon,\u201d the stalker wrote, as shared by Anita with a screenshot of the message. \u201cNot with the cheap kitchen knife I had last time. No, I\u2019m gonna bring out something special for you.\u201d He stated this publicly last stream. Last time he left messages like this he sat outside my house waiting for me to come out all day, then followed me to a shop. When I asked if he was armed he silently smirked and then chased me. Two men had to grab him so that I could escape. pic.twitter.com\/AK8HZpJoTs \u2014 Sweet Anita (@sweetanita) July 14, 2020 The streamer took to Twitter to document the disturbing threat, and even left a concerning message of her own in regards to the ongoing situation. \u201cIf anything happens to me, I really hope that I\u2019m the last canary in the coal mine,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe law needs to change, No job should have such a high risk of rape, assault or death, especially not live streaming.\u201d If anything happens to me, I really hope that I’m the last canary in the coal mine.
