Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa is the biggest streamers on Twitch. In an interview she says: She is often "ge-swattet" that she talks to the local police on "First Name Base". But she feels uncertain and considered a weapon to get.
That's the situation:
- Amouranth is the biggest streamer on Twitch, but also the most controversial. It is known that they provoked with their content, balancing their streams often on the rules of Twitch for sexually offensive behavior.
- Recently, the largest male streamer had said on Twitch, XQC, said: He was "Ge-swattet" in his house in Texes, that he goes back to Canada.
- Amouranth says she has been experiencing this "swatting" for a long time excessive.
"Several police inserts the week"

"To be totally transparent: the other day XQC has mentioned that it is extremely often wated. That's all for quite a while - several times a week. "

She says she has a watchdog as a partial solution for the problem that so many strangers know where she lives. But the swatting remains a problem.
Meanwhile, the pure amount of swatting calls have led to a good relationship with the local police department. As a rule, they are still diving in full man strength with her, but ringing only at the door and asks if it goes well before the police disappear.
It is said that she is with the police on "First Name" base, one speaks with first name, which corresponds to the German "duzen".
When swatting, people join the police and describe a threatening emergency, such as a hostage taking, in the intention of sending a police commands (a SWAT team) to the address of a streamer. This is a highly threatening situation: In such incidents, people have already come to life. Perpetrators received long imprisonment.
** What does she think about the situation? Amouranth says you think about to get a weapon to protect yourself. But she also fear, because if the police rings at night, it could be really dangerous to have a weapon:
"Armed for yourself is nothing, which can do a popular streamer without being able to suspend a reciprocal risk, even to be injured when it comes to swatting."

Amouranth sees himself as an heirloom of "Ice Posiedon" on Twitch
Why is Amouranth as she is? In a long interview like Kotaku says Amouranth, she has her inspiration of scandal streamer Paul "Ice Poseidon" Denino, who was considered "Irl" king on Twitch. So Amouranth had started with IRL streams, but then went over to her new sexualized formats.
There she evaluates meticulous data and reacts to trends. She says she wants to fully pull the "hot e-girl number" as long as it is "physically possible". Because she says she knows himself that this "hot girl" thing is physically simply not going on forever.
However, the "Hot Girl" thing is with much ambition:
"Just be an e-girl is really not a great thing, so I always wanted to take off and have the same work attitude as an investment banker or a partner at a lawyer company."

Your Manager Devin Nash raws up in the highest tones of Amouranth. He looks in her the "best monetarised creator on Twitch."
But Nash also sees the difficulties that Amouranth has meanwhile. Thus, spectators would regularly call in restaurant where Amouranth is to let them throw them out.
E-girl on Twitch until the thing is running with the shelter
Why does it do that? She says she has set to open up a shelter in 2017. The drastic experience came from the death of her dog. The dog had died of a magical rotation: Amouranth could not find a veterinarian, in the middle of the night, and had to look at how her dog died.
At that time she swore to devote her life of this thing. At the moment she wants to save money to get there: she wants to finance the shelter without dependent on it.
In a tweet she said, she works on a transformation to the butterfly. Until then, however, she remains "Full E-Girl", you can not expect a caterpillar that the easy wing grow.
And apparently, the caterpillar often often has the police in the house.
