In response, she also posted an example of some of the death threats she's been receiving, showing fans that she's not making it a bigger deal than it is and providing context for why she would feel unsafe at TwitchCon.
She also provided a trigger warning, as the contents of the tweet are graphic and potentially disturbing. Although some fans weren't so understanding, the majority let the streamer know that they understood her decision to prioritize her safety.
