How fans reacted to Valkyrae and Cinna’s encounter with a scary incident?

The recent threats faced by Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru have shaken their fans, while a few believe that it was a staged act. They reportedly have a huge fan following and are loved for their content.

“it takes a lot of courage to speak up on this immediately after hours of it happening. If they wanna do this again, better hire some guards cause these type of men will not stop even after all this.” A user reacted.

Another fan replied that the incident was pretty intense and wished for the safety of the streamers.

“Ngl Twitcg needs to step in & provide the top female streamers with security… this can’t keep happening.” A user wrote on X.

However, a few users thought it was a staged act.

“I watch a lot of Explore With Us content and I can tell you that her recollection of this event isn’t genuine, too much crying/acting normal all at once isn’t natural. It’s sad that this happened to them but she didn’t need to make it a drama class.” Someone else commented.

“I thought it was staged.” A user added.

“Staged to try to compete w kai” One more replied.

“It's a 5 foot asian dude that looks like McLovin.....it's not that traumatising. Amouranth got guns pulled on her by 3 dudes and you don't see all this crying and overreacting. I'm convinced these streamers and fans live in gated communities or never go outside.” A fan wrote.

A report in Forbes suggested that Emiru emerged as the second-most-watched Twitch streamer in 2024, and Valkyrae’s return to the streaming platform in 2025 made her one of the most-watched female streamers on Twitch. The report added that the man is yet to be identified by the police.
