AriaSaki recalls her dissatisfactory experience in TwitchCon 2022

The latest edition of TwitchCon has been a topic of much debate over the past few days. Many streamers such as MoistCr1TiKaL and Karl Jacobs have shared their complaints regarding the mismanagement on the part of the organization.

Speaking about her experience, AriaSaki said:

"I owe everything to my community, I would be nothing without y'all, so that's why I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm more than happy to like provide, do this, you know, give you my time', but then, unfortunately, the staff did not think the same way and they're like, 'Oh no, she has a whole line that's like clogging up the space, and it's a fire hazard what not'"

She continued:

"But it was the way they like, approached me with it. It'd be different if I was just told like, 'hey, cut it short'...to just keep it like straighforward, I would've been like totally fine."

Aria then proceeded to demonstrate to Pokimane how the staff members had reacted to her booth. She stated that one personnel tried to patronize her artwork on her merch in the Artist Alley.

For those unaware, she even made a rant on her alternate Twitter account during the ordeal. She tweeted:

She even stated that the management allotted only one day for meet-and-greets, which meant that fans who did not buy passes for that particular day would not be able to meet her.

Pokimane even chimed in. Reacting to Aria's story, she said:

"I don't know, is he being sarcastic. I'm confused by why he would bring it up like that"

Pokimane also revealed that she had information about the TwitchCon 2022 staff being outdated.
