Twitch star Amouranth worries about the catfish phenomenon with those posing as stealing from others.
The identity of Twitch stars is regularly usurped, and inevitably, Amouranth is no exception to the rule. The ultra-popular streamer is particularly concerned about the catfish which consists of taking the identity of another person online to invent a completely false life. Amouranth believes that this practice reinforces bullying.
Catfish are a dangerous phenomenon according to Amouranth
Interviewed by Dexterto, Amouranth spoke about the circumstances that make some “ aficionados they cross the line, especially those who go so far as to try to find it in real life: ” I think the main problem is They don’t realize they are going too far. This is due to the fact that they do not have enough social experience. They probably don’t have other people paying attention to them. And when someone strikes up a conversation, it’s not someone of the opposite sex who’s attracted to them. “.
Amouranth also spoke about the phenomenon catfish with Internet users who impersonate them to approach other people in order to steal them.
Very often, what is also scary is that they have no disorder. Maybe someone totally sane but pretending to be you online extort victims play in an interested relationship.
The Twitch star remarkably recalled a fan who sent more than 1600 dollars to an account impersonating him.
Almost every day someone in the chat informs me of a fake account on Facebook or Instagram that is posting my content. Every month we report approximately about fifty fake accounts on different platforms. I think there’s even more that we don’t even see.
Amouranth is one of the few streamers to speak of the phenomenon catfish. In France, even the big stars of the network are victims. Just see the number of fake pages of Squeezie, the number 1 of French youtubers, to be convinced.
