Popular streamers Pokimane and LilyPichu haven’t yet decided if they’ll go to TwitchCon, following Valkyrae and QTCinderella’s decision to withdraw due to worries about safety.
TwitchCon is Twitch’s yearly gathering where streamers, employees, and viewers come together to celebrate everything that happened on the platform over the past year. It’s become a huge event, largely because fans get the opportunity to meet the streamers they enjoy watching.
Twitch usually oversees meet-and-greets, but you might also see content creators walking around the convention floor. Unfortunately, this has raised safety worries recently, as several streamers have had negative experiences with people at the events.
Several streamers have already decided not to attend this year’s event in San Diego. HasanAbi withdrew because he was worried about the safety of attendees, and QTCinderella and Valkyrae canceled due to feeling “afraid” of some of the viewers, whom they described as “weird.”
Poki & LilyPichu still unsure about TwitchCon
Pokimane and LilyPichu are also expected to be there, but the hosts of the Sweet n’ Sour podcast are a bit uncertain.
“I need to head to my artist alley booth,” Lily explained. “I might have to reschedule my meeting. Honestly, I’m just not feeling up to socializing with people right now.” Poki chimed in, “When Rae told me that, it made me wonder if we should be worried.” She added, “That’s what really got me thinking.”
This is a difficult scenario – a perfect example of how one negative person can spoil things for everyone else. It always reminds me of Christina Grimmie. It truly only takes one bad experience, and you never know when it might happen.
We’re not sure about TwitchCon this year…

Christina Grimmie, a well-known singer and YouTuber, tragically died after being shot during a fan meet-and-greet in 2016.
Before cancelling her appearance, QTCinderella mentioned the murder of Japanese streamer Airi Sato in March 2025 as a contributing factor to her decision not to go to TwitchCon.
On September 24, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy spoke about event safety, stating that the Amazon-owned company was treating security with “extreme seriousness.”
