Nmplol Criticizes Twitch for Ignoring TwitchCon Harassment Issues

Twitch streamer Nmplol has criticized the streaming platform for its lack of action regarding a Kick streamer who harassed him and other creators at TwitchCon San Diego.

Nick ‘nmplol’ Polom was on the convention floor with fellow streamer Wake Wilder when a Kick creator approached them and exhibited behaviors that many viewers described as “sexual assault.”

The Kick streamer proceeded to kiss and lick the two broadcasters while expressing that they “really liked” them, before ultimately walking away. Although Nick initially stated that the incident didn’t “bother” him and dismissed claims of victimhood, he later shared his outrage on Twitter/X.

“Holy f*ck that was weird,” he posted. “Don’t ever do sh*t like that, please. Talk to somebody or just stay inside if you can’t behave.”

Nick was not the only Twitch creator to experience harassment from Kick streamers during the event, and he mentioned that he has yet to receive any response from Twitch days after the incidents gained widespread attention.

“You know what’s funny? They [Twitch] didn’t even message me about that guy sucking on my nipple,” he remarked in a broadcast on September 25. “Nothing. Radio silence.”

“I got an email from Twitch yesterday asking, ‘How was your TwitchCon experience?’ Just shameless, man. Maybe I’m not that good at networking with the suits, you know what I’m saying?”

Nick further expressed his belief that the platform “doesn’t care about Twitch OGs” , questioning why he was not flown out to TwitchCon like other creators were.

“It is what it is,” he concluded. “I’m still gonna keep going [to TwitchCon]. I’m still gonna have fun.”

Other content creators on various platforms have also voiced their concerns over the disorder at TwitchCon San Diego, including xQc, who stated that Kick needs to impose “real repercussions” on streamers who misbehave at events.

YouTube star Ludwig also added his input, noting that such behavior ultimately tarnishes Kick’s reputation over time.

“It’s a bunch of people. It’s not an exclusive problem,” he commented. “Every platform has bad eggs, but why does Kick foster so many?”

While Kick has since banned the offending streamers following the TwitchCon incidents, CEO Eddie Craven has insisted that a few bad apples do not “reflect the broader platform.”
