In the world of Twitch and live streaming, a new trend has emerged called IRL streaming, which pushes the boundaries of traditional livestreaming. This type of streaming can be humorous, entertaining, and occasionally bizarre, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats and never knowing what might happen next. Streamers often engage in unexpected activities that lead to genuinely hilarious moments, but they are not immune to encountering unforeseen circumstances such as technical glitches or unplanned visitors. Unfortunately, some situations can take a turn for the worse, as seen in the incident last year when an IRL Twitch streamer's stream was abruptly disrupted when a passerby snatched her phone. Recently, a Twitch streamer made headlines when he confronted a group of litterers during his IRL stream, leading to a fiery confrontation that thrust him into the spotlight.
Recently, an incident involving IRL streaming made headlines when CookSux, a popular Twitch streamer with over 79k followers, took a nighttime walk through the busy streets of New York City. While on his stroll, he came across a group of people who callously threw their garbage onto the roadside when they were stopped at a red light. Out of a sense of responsibility, CookSux called them out on their littering in an attempt to raise awareness and encourage them to change their behavior. However, the strangers were not receptive to his admonishment, leading to a heated confrontation between them.
Despite their menacing demeanor, CookSux remained composed and calmly asked why the men had chosen to litter. However, one of the men responded aggressively, threatening to exit the vehicle within seconds. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the streamer cautiously asked if he was being threatened. Eventually, the strangers begrudgingly left, but not before throwing a few plastic bottles at the Twitch streamer.
This incident is unfortunately not an isolated case of streamers facing threats during IRL Twitch streams. In 2019, a Twitch streamer's night out took a terrifying turn when a mugger suddenly appeared from around a corner and attempted to rob her.
