Amouranth rattled after anonymous culprit tries to set her house on fire, police get involved

A recent incident with Amouranth proved that being a Twitch streamer or an influencer could often be a life-threatening job. There have been multiple instances when problematic fans have stalked them or sent police to their homes in a swatting effort, and some have proved to be very dangerous.
