"That poor girl. I was physically cringing and pulling away from my screen, I can't even imagine how uncomfortable she was."
After the news spread on wider social media, many viewers pointed out that the man who assaulted her did show his face to the camera and encouraged her to go to the police. Some have pointed out that with Hong Kong's infrastructure, it would not take much for the police to find the perpetrator.
However, regular viewers have also mentioned that the Twitch creator is not willing to file a police report because "she is scared of revenge," considering she is a public figure. Some have seconded this argument, calling it smart.
Either way, the shocking news spread within the streaming community, with many expressing outrage online. Content creators dealing with harassment while out in public is not new. This year alone, another Twitch creator was harassed on camera, with the man getting jailed after she called the authorities.
