Twitter reacts as miscreant who tried to set Amouranth's house on fire is caught

Twitch's ASMR streamer Amouranth is no stranger to obsessive fans and threats. However, one such person recently took it too far by trying to set her house on fire. In a series of tweets, Amouranth shared her account of the horrifying incident.

She explained that late on the evening of August 1, a fire was spotted along the side of her house, and the authorities strongly suspect Arson. Amouranth has always been very open regarding her stories of harassment, and revealed that such an incident had occurred earlier in 2020 as well. A person had tried to set her house on fire by directly aiming fireworks at her house, under the pretext of July 4 festivities.

Here are the tweets shared by Amouranth on her Twitter account.

Yesterday, Late in the evening there was a fire along the side of my home originating from the area where my trashcan is kept. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but investigators strongly suspect arson.

the garden variety of swatting on a weekly basis but have a good working relationship with local law enforcement. If you’re a streamer I cannot stress this enough. Be proactive, talk to them, they won’t understand but having your location “flagged” can

You might want or set up like a safe or password so they can (such as in my situations) know when it’s a “real threat” and to roll in full force…

Damn. That's gotta add loads of stress knowing that people just target your home for such things. Hope everyone is ok and the person responsible is caught.Seriously fucked up

Many others had suggestions for what Amouranth could do for some added security.

This is not cool at all.You need to get complete camera coverage (even if it seems excessive) so that you'll have 4k evidence to track these people down.And a couple super high quality cameras to grab license plates on your street. Like embassy grade security.

Worst case scenario to this is that it is arson and the person gets away with it and tries again. You should hire security around the clock. In most situations, thats not manageable but you do have the resources to do this.

Although, it might set you back with your animal sanctuary. However, compare having to pay for around the clock security vs having your house burned down and having to buy/build a new one and decide which is worse yourself.

— Itititi (@Itititi19) August 15, 2021

Considering this was attempted more than once, the “possibility” of your house being burned to the ground has evolved into more of a “probability”. Lets hope it doesn’t follow the rules of pokemon and it evolves even further than that.

Arm yourself and increase your home security please.

Amouranth informed that she was alrightx and so were the many animals residing in her home, which relieved lots of people.

I am ok. The fur babies are all ok too

— Amouranth (@Amouranth) August 14, 2021

I am really sorry this kinda shit happens to you! Glad you and the doggos are ok! 🙏 Sounds like you already have a surveillance system set up and running which is great! Hopefully, the deuce-bag is caught and prosecuted. Stay safe!

Glad to hear this. Hope the person in question is caught.

Naturally, most people in the comments section wished for the person responsible for the attack to be caught and put into jail. Echoing the thoughts of people in the comments section, it is truly saddening that people are willing to go to such extents to harm a streamer just because they do not like the content they produce. However, it is a relief that the streamer came out of the incident unharmed.
