Because every year there are more and more streamers on platforms like Twitch, moments of all kinds have been captured live, whether they are couple fights, solicitations or jokes of all kinds, but what happened to a Russian streamer in recent days it’s anything but funny. While she was live, an assailant broke into her home and smashed her computer.
In this short clip uploaded to Youtube, we see how a young woman is sitting in front of the computer, while a second girl they try to reason with the assailant, which appears to be one of your neighbors. After a tense exchange of words, a groundstroke is heard, as if the assailant had thrown something to the ground, causing the streamer to recoil, while her companion is stunned by the man’s violence. Then the intruder takes it with the girl’s computer, we see how the camera falls to the ground and the broadcast is cut off.

The streamer in question is [Girl__Fighter](https://www.twitch.tv/girl__fighter]a Russian content creator dedicated to poledance dancing and games like Counter Strike. The assailant’s intent is unknown, but Russia is not exactly a benchmark country in respect and treatment of women. In any case, it seems that finally nothing more serious happened to the streamer and a few days ago returned to broadcast from “a safe house”.
This case is just one more example of the discrimination and abuse to which many women are exposed in the video game industry, either in the development part or in the content creation part. The last great controversy splashed Blizzard for repeated cases of discrimination and harassment of several company employees by male colleagues and superiors.
