Many Twitch streamers these past two years have grouped up to play games together and socialize to avoid these lonely quarantine times. While this has led to some fun interactions, not all of these instances are pleasant for the streamers. The platform still has its fair share ofTwitch streamer controversy, which goes from harmless trash talking to potentially harmful situations.
One of the newest instances of a potentially harmful situation involves a Twitch streamer that goes by Destiny. Destiny, whose real name is Steven Bonnell, was interacting with another streamer known as Ana Vior. According to Bonnell, when Ana Vior started having feelings for him, but Bonnell wasn’t reciprocating, she lashed out on Twitter and accused him of havingabusive behavior towards women.

Many Twitch users have taken Vior’s side and criticized Bonnell, saying that she is “cute and harmless” and that Destiny should be grateful that someone like her is interested in him. So yesterday, Bonnell responded to these comments, and Vior’s tweet, on stream and is calling Vior “insane.” Additionally, he pointed out that if the roles were reversed she would instantly be acanceled Twitch streamer.
It wasn’t Vior’s tweet alone that sparked this response from Destiny. Allegedly, she has been private messaging multiple otherTwitchstreamers and his friends in an attempt to make him look like the bad guy in the situation. Bonnell claims that he has even banned her on all platforms for the past six months. However, she allegedly continues to find ways to message him and his friends.
From Vior’s perspective, she claims that Bonnell shouldn’t have acted so nice to her and led her on. And that by fully understanding her feelings for him, it is still manipulative, even if unintentional.
