Becoming famous today might be easier than ever. Just look at how often new internet celebrities and female streamers pop up, and you’ll see how the internet has made it simple to get noticed and gain popularity. But everything has two sides. If you want fame and attention, you also have to face invisible pressures and criticism, which are unavoidable in any field. For streamers, who often deal with a wide audience, this pressure can be even more intense. Recently, a beautiful female streamer almost made a tragic decision live on stream.
The streamer at the center of this story is known as Xiao B, a pretty young woman who just started her livestream career two months ago. During one of her broadcasts, where she already had some following, she got a lot of interaction from viewers. But while reading the chat, Xiao B seemed overwhelmed by harsh insults and hateful messages from some strangers online. Some comments even told her to “go to hell,” which deeply shook her mentally and left her extremely distressed.
Experienced streamers might be used to handling online bullying, but Xiao B is still a newcomer, so it’s understandable that negative words hit her hard. What happened next shocked everyone. Feeling down, she started drinking alcohol on stream, and it seemed the alcohol gave her some false courage because she then visibly harmed her own neck, with dark red marks clearly seen on the livestream.
Shockingly, some extreme viewers kept posting disgusting comments, accusing her of faking it for attention. This made Xiao B break down completely, and she started complaining, saying, “This streaming platform is disgusting.” Luckily, her sister showed up just in time to stop her from doing something worse. Xiao B’s last words to her sister before ending the stream were, “They told me to go to hell, the whole internet says that.”
The incident is still stirring up the online community, but it’s clear that toxic behavior like online bullying should be eliminated from the community as soon as possible.
