Partnered Twitch streamer Danielle ‘FooYa’ made a disturbing discovery when she came across a Discord channel filled with violent fantasies aimed at her.
Twitch streamers routinely find themselves as the butt of a joke or the focus of a meme with their audiences. But a particular group of FooYa’s following are taking things way too far with derogatory fantasies about the streamer.
In an April 7 tweet, FooYa posted a screenshot of back and forth conversations between people in the Discord channel who were sharing alarming scenarios centered around the popular Twitch personality.
The cheery streamer was stunned when she found the Discord filled with strange stories about her.

While FooYa agreed with Valkyrae’s assessment, she said that she would make a YouTube video of her reading them all if her tweet got 100 Retweets.
At the time of writing her tweet has garnered over 600 Retweets.
Should Twitch protect streamers more?
One commenter pointed to this situation as a prime example as to why streamer should have more control over the people who can or can’t view their content.
“Hey TwitchSupport this is why streamers should be able to ban users from watching the stream entirely, not just out of chat,” streamer ‘Sanguiphilia’ said.
Though the discovery highlights the darker side of Twitch’s lively community, FooYa won’t let it deter her from continuing her streams which are filled with positivity and humorous moments.
