As streams have become more and more popular through Twitch, a new way of broadcasting has gradually appeared on the channels of content creators: the IRL stream. Democratized by regulars like PapeSan on the French-speaking side, this type of live broadcast radically changes from the most popular at present, which consists of streaming from a fixed location.
Now, IRL streamers take their camera and go explore various places on our dear planet. In addition to being quite entertaining, IRL streams allow viewers to discover new places/countries. A great way to travel without moving from your sofa.
Yet some popular content creators on Twitch are still hesitant to get started. This is the case of xChocobars who recently spoke during one of his streams.
"I feel like the world is so dangerous"
It was during a Among Us stream with friends that the content creator with 960,000 followers on Twitch expressed her concern. After receiving a rather negative comment saying "you haven't been through anything, you haven't even started living" , the streamer retorted "I feel like I've been through a lot" . She then adds that it also includes many negative experiences , which make her feel like the outside world is quite dangerous.
"That's why I don't really go out"
The streamer continues her explanations, saying that she hasn't really had any luck regarding her interactions with other people. She then evokes an attempted kidnapping when she was little , but also many people who would have tried to follow her in her city of residence, or even stalkers whom she clearly does not want to cross paths with.
It is for all these reasons that xChocoBars does not want to stream IRL. According to her, her stalkers could recognize the place from which she is streaming live and then find her. This represents a significant risk.
Unfortunately, cases of harassment are very real and concern a majority of female streamers who, because of this, do not dare to get into IRL. Finally, xChocoBars ends by saying that we must stop blaming women and that it is time for comments similar to the one she received to stop. She says it, she lives well but will not take unnecessary risks.
After winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2022, Elden Ring topped the charts in two quite...surprising categories. Finally, is the Underworld really that bad? Yes and no !
