TwitchCon Boycott? Pokimane, Valkyrae, QT Cinderella Hint At Skipping Event Over Safety Fears

TwitchCon 2025 is facing a potential disaster as three of the platform's biggest female stars—Pokimane, Valkyrae, and QT Cinderella—are hinting at a massive TwitchCon Boycott, sending shockwaves through the community and raising serious questions about the safety of creators.

The bombshells dropped over a series of streams and social media posts, with the trio of streaming royalty voicing serious "safety and organizational concerns" that suggest they might skip Twitch's flagship event entirely. This isn't just drama; it's a potential full-blown streamer boycott led by the queens of the platform.

The move comes after years of mounting complaints about fan behavior and inadequate security at major gaming conventions. A source close to Valkyrae told us the decision is weighing heavily on her. "After last year's foam pit incident and the constant, unchecked harassment, she's not willing to risk her safety or her fans' safety," the source revealed, referencing the ongoing Valkyrae safety concerns. "The platforms have to do more. It's that simple."

We're not talking about small-time streamers. The potential Pokimane TwitchCon absence alone would be a huge blow, but with Valkyrae and QT Cinderella also potentially out, the event's star power would be decimated. Their collective influence is a force of nature, and their united front on the issue of female streamers safety is putting immense pressure on Twitch.

Adding a layer of professional critique is the fact that QT Cinderella skips TwitchCon would be a damning verdict on the event's organization. As the founder of the highly successful Streamer Awards, QT Cinderella knows what it takes to run a safe and professional event for creators. "If I can provide top-tier security and logistics for my awards show, a multi-billion dollar company like Twitch has no excuse," she reportedly said on a private stream.

This potential boycott has blown the lid off a long-simmering issue: the state of gaming event inclusivity and safety. For years, female creators have shared horror stories of being stalked, harassed, and mobbed at conventions with little to no intervention from security.

"They're scrambling," an insider at Twitch allegedly revealed. "Losing Pokimane is one thing, but losing all three could trigger a domino effect. They know this isn't just about three people; it's about sending a message to all their female creators that they are valued and will be protected."

With their biggest stars ready to walk, Twitch is on the clock. Will they step up and implement the sweeping changes needed to protect their creators, or will the TwitchCon 2025 controversy mark the year the queens abandoned their castle? The entire streaming world is waiting for an answer.
