Additional footage shows attempts to move Said to a bed and remove his clothing, with a condom appearing on camera, suggesting the sexual activity was planned during the broadcast.Viewers described Said repeatedly trying to escape, including hiding upstairs before being brought back. Shortly after the stream, Said posted on social media that he felt assaulted but deleted his posts to avoid further drama. The resurfaced clips have prompted renewed discussions about consent standards in streaming and whether men face unique skepticism when reporting sexual assault.
Nina Lin responds to backlash over alleged assault in viral IRL stream
In a recent stream addressing the controversy, Nina Lin denied that sexual assault occurred. She stated she would not want to remain friends with Said, calling him “a bitch,” and claimed it would be “embarrassing” for a man to report sexual assault. Lin offered a conditional apology, saying, “I’m sorry you felt disrespected,” while maintaining that she was unaware of Said’s feelings at the time of the stream. The incident underscores ongoing debates over boundaries and sexual conduct within online streaming communities. Twitch’s community guidelines explicitly prohibit sexual content without consent and harassment that sexualizes someone against their will. Despite the resurfaced footage drawing attention online, no public action has been taken by Twitch, and the original video remains available on YouTube.Also Read: Viral Clip Shows PeachJars Calling Tectone’s Fans “Low IQ”
