Emiru shares her thoughts about streamers capitalizing on s*xual harassment drama
At the 40-minute mark, the One True King (OTK) member offered her views on the streamers involved in the controversy, claiming that they don't care what happens to the female creators involved on the platform:
"Maybe I'm overstepping a little to say this, but I feel like, no one else is saying it. A lot of the streamers involved in this, I don't believe that you care what happens to girls on this platform at all."
Emiru mentioned that serious issues only come to light at the "right time":
"It makes me sick, that it only comes out when it seems like the right time for you. No one expects you to platform and support every single victim. There's just too many. I'm not saying that. But a lot of the things I've seen, just makes me sick... It's digusting."

After a brief pause, the 24-year-old content creator claimed that she did not bring up a "lot of things" because she was unable to talk about them:
"We have to evolve, or we're going to lose the community that we've built. There's a lot of things that I didn't bring up, because I can't speak on them. But the s**t that I have spoken about, this s**t is just not okay. It's disgusting. I'm sorry, it's disgusting."
Emiru lauded individuals who shared their stories:
"I'm glad that obviously people were able to tell their stories, they deserve that. A 1000%."
