Twitch streamers report bizarre emails and pictures from fan sofiehedegren, Instagram \/ ImSoff_, TwitterAs live streaming continues to grow in popularity as both a profession and pastime, more and more broadcasters are reporting odd interactions with overly-enthusiastic fans \u2014 one of whom has taken flirting to the next level. Many a popular Twitch streamer has, unfortunately, dealt with both in-person and online harassment, usually from fans who are vying for a potential relationship with them after watching their broadcasts. It seems that one fan has taken this kind of flirting to a whole new level, with multiple female Twitch streamers reporting interactions from a single individual with a similar MO. Partnered streamer \u2018ImSoff\u2019 uploaded a series of photos in a Tweet on April 21, showing an email and a photo attachment from a fan who was looking for more than just a shoutout. \u201cYou are very beautiful and very positive,\u201d the fan wrote. \u201cI want to meet you. I watch you from time to time!\u201d The photo attached to the email showed the sender blowing a kiss to the camera and folding his hands in a heart shape, unabashedly flirting with the broadcaster \u2014 who was less than enthused by his message. \u201cPlease don\u2019t be this person, this is to my business email zzz,\u201d ImSoff wrote. Please don’t be this person, this is to my business email zzz pic.twitter.com\/G8DFeRTVlV \u2014 sofie (@ImSoff_) April 21, 2020 However, it doesn\u2019t seem that Soff was the only Twitch streamer to have received an email from this fan \u2014 in fact, replies to her Tweet show that several broadcasters have experienced similar interactions with the individual. \u201cI GOT THE SAME ONE LOOOOL\u201d streamer \u2018MissBaffy\u2019 replied, showing identical images sent to her own inbox as the ones ImSoff received. In fact, one streamer claimed she\u2019s been receiving near-constant emails from the fan for over a year, even though she never replies to him. \u201cThat same guy has been emailing me for almost a year now, and he doesn\u2019t stop even though I never answer,\u201d she Tweeted. \u201cHe must have some serious issues.\u201d That same guyhave been emailing me for almost a year now and he doesn\u2019t stop even tho I never answer.? He must have some serious issues \u2014 Swebliss (@swebliss) April 23, 2020 Thankfully, it seems as though these streamers have banded together to address a disturbing issue that continues to take place in a community already rife with harassment and stalking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
