Twitchstar Bruce’s statement sparked a debate among the online community, with some users agreeing with him, while others sided against him. Some users questioned Bruce’s claims and asked why he thought it was OTK’s viewers who swatted him and not his own community, while others sympathized with him, acknowledging the prevalence of toxicity in the online space.
Online personalities are often subjected to harassment and toxicity from viewers who take things too far. The anonymity of the internet provides a sense of detachment that allows individuals to engage in behavior that they would not normally engage in face-to-face interactions. It is crucial that online communities take responsibility for creating a safe and inclusive environment for all individuals, including online personalities. Organizations andplatforms like Twitch must also take stepsto protect their users from harassment and toxicity by implementing stricter rules and regulations and providing support for those affected.
