Acclaimed by the public, both on the stadium and on Twitch, Amine’s Eleven All Stars event, with its 1.2 million simultaneous spectators, is what one could call a total success. The only downside? The wave of harassment suffered by Ultia, in parallel with the show.
The streamer had not yet commented on the match in any way, but she was still the target of hateful or degrading messages. Ultia expressed her frustration on Twitter, and she quickly received the support of many French-speaking streamers. In view of the turn of events, Amine himself spoke out to denounce the serious consequences of online harassment.
Raising shields from the stream game
Valves and banters can be funny for a while. But when the comments turn into targeted harassment of a person, that’s usually where they are no longer defensible. On the evening of November 19, on the sidelines of the France / Spain match, Ultia became the target of thousands of degrading and offensive tweets. Faced with the magnitude of the messages, streamers are stepping up and supporting Ultia.
“You have to let go”
Shortly after the match and the wave of harassment aimed at Ultia, Amine spoke on Twitch. The streamer notably denounced the virulence of certain messageswhich therefore no longer have anything to do with “valves”.
The tricolor captain facing the men of Ibai therefore made the choice of raising awareness: ” You have a responsibility. Just because you’re behind Twitter accounts doesn’t mean you can afford everything. Remember that there are humans behind every account“, he explains.
A welcome reminder of the rules of online etiquette, in short. Amine drew the right words to address something seriouswhich somehow clouded this memorable evening.
