Popular Twitch streamer Emiru, whose real name is Emily-Beth Schunk, revealed during her November 11, 2025 livestream that Twitch agreed to donate $100,000 to a violence protection charity at her request. This came after she asked the platform for a “public resolution” following a safety incident at TwitchCon San Diego in October 2025. Emiru said she wanted to see real accountability rather than prolonged arguments, and the company accepted every term she put forward.Speaking directly to her viewers, Emiru explained that one of her key conditions for resolving the issue was for Twitch to donate to a charity that supports people affected by violence. “I wanted public resolution, asked them for a list of things, agreed to all of them, one of the things was if they would donate $100k to a violence protection charity,” she said during the stream. Her statement quickly spread online, gaining support from fans who praised her for using her influence to make a positive impact.
