In the News
Sweet Anita is known for her candidness with regard to her dealings with Tourette’s syndrome. She has made, and continues to make, videos on the condition in order to educate others and normalize it which has garnered much praise within the community.
At the tail-end of 2019, due to her Tourette’s she had a tic that caused her to say the N-word on stream. Many called on Twitch to ban her, including streamer “lilchiipmunk”. Twitch, however, decided to not ban her or pose any warnings on her channel after taking into account the context. She has previously stated on stream that she is half-black, and the word was something she heard used often, especially in rap music. She also admitted that while it is a word she knows, she does not say it intentionally and is unable to control what her verbal tics make her say.
Anita has been dealing with an incessant stalker who has issued multiple death threats against her, both on and off stream. She has stated that “(I) have been assaulted, I have been chased, and people have had to restrain my stalker out in public because he wouldn’t leave me alone.”
Upon confronting the police, she quickly found that avenue to be a dead end as they were not able to take any action; she released a video on her YouTube channel detailing the entire situation. Other streamers came out in agreement with her stance, stating they had also received a similar response from their respective local police officers. A flock of people tweeted out to the UK police, asking for a response to Anita’s plea for help and criticizing them for their lack of action.
In April 2021, she opened up about her feelings on quitting Twitch due to viewers attempting to extract sexual content from herself or sexualize her being by taking out-of-context clips of her or saving screenshots of her from her videos. She expressed her frustration at genuinely trying to build a community and entertain her viewers by putting in all the effort she can, while many of those same people, in turn, are more focused on eroticizing her or trying to get suggestive content out of her; “They still sell my body without my consent.”
