The German Twitch streamer quiteLola is an IRL streamer and is constantly in contact with strangers. During a trip to the US, she visited TwitchCon in San Diego and also went to the “Walk of Fame” in Los Angeles. However, in LA she had an experience with an upset passerby who felt her privacy was violated and lost her composure.
Who is the streamer?
- quiteLola is a successful German Twitch streamer who has grown significantly on Twitch in recent months. She has only been on the platform since 2021 – however, when looking solely at the last 90 days, she ranks among the largest German female streamers on Twitch by average viewers, just behind AnniTheDuck.
- However, she doesn’t stream games; she primarily does “IRL streams” – probably one of the most dangerous things you can do on Twitch, because you have no control over the situation.
- We last reported on quiteLola on MeinMMO when she got caught in the crossfire of a confrontation during Gamescom 2022. She tried to calm the upset dance ban and ended up getting caught in the middle of it.
This was the situation in the USA: quiteLola was at the “Walk of Fame” in Los Angeles, a popular tourist attraction.
There she was doing an IRL stream, filming herself. But a passerby apparently perceived “woman with camera” as a spying attack against her and flipped out.
As seen in a 53-second clip on Twitch, the woman angrily followed the German streamer and demanded that she “stop filming and delete the video.”
Apparently, the woman believes she was filmed against her will. She called the streamer a “slut” and wouldn’t let up.
The streamer should delete the video right then and there. She is obviously crazy to just film her. quiteLola is visibly uncomfortable with the situation, which becomes increasingly unpleasant by the second.
The German streamer tries to de-escalate the situation and simply walk away, but the woman continues to follow her, calling the streamer a slut and “crazy” again. When quiteLola calls the police, the woman excitedly agrees: Yes, the police must get involved. The fact that other people are supporting the streamer seems completely incomprehensible to the passerby.
How does the situation resolve? The streamer sought the company of people who have something to say about the situation, explained what happened, and asked for help. Apparently, someone took care of the woman so that the streamer could continue her work.
Does this happen often? “IRL” streams are indeed a constant danger for people who stream. quiteLola has often found herself in uncomfortable situations. In January 2022, a case made headlines when she was kissed unsolicited by a passerby.
IRL streams were once the origin of Twitch
What are these IRL streams? “IRL” streams on Twitch refer to streams that take place in “real life” (In Real Life). These streams are mostly categorized under “Just Chatting,” which is the largest category on Twitch – larger than any game.
They are streams that operate without a script or large concept: A person goes out in public and films what happens to them there.
Many streamers use IRL streams today for tourist travel or sightseeing trips, which are additionally documented on Instagram and other “social media” channels: So for classic “influencer” or fashion content, where it’s about the person themselves and impressive motifs. They let the viewers share in their lives, which seem much more exciting and glamorous than the everyday life of their followers.
quiteLola was seen with the streamer Amouranth on Twitter:
However, there are also streamers who simply film their lives and show themselves in everyday situations, such as shopping.
The origins of Twitch originally lie in these streams: In the early years of Twitch, the service was still called “Justin.tv”: One of the founders of Twitch, Justin Kan, was 23 years old at that time and streamed his life 24/7 for 8 months.
The IRL streaming on Twitch became known among other things through the streamer “IcePoseidon,” who had completely different intentions:
Back then, the worst streamer on Twitch was raging, and today his heirs reign
