Kuri is known for his IRL streams exploring Japan.During his stream on November 5, Kuri was exploring Japan as normal until he encountered an overly aggressive man who was concerned about being filmed.
Kuri expressed that he was only filming himself, however, the stranger was still annoyed: “If you do it, you’re gonna have trouble. I’m telling you.”
“Are you threatening me? Because that’s illegal, you can’t threaten people,” Kuri responded, before being pushed by the man out of anger.
The pair continued to exchange words back and forth as the man continued to push Kuri backward. The streamer stood his ground and threatened to go to the police, which scared away the man.
Kuri began to walk away from the situation and was left puzzled by what just happened. “I can’t believe what just happened. It might be the same f**king guy once again pushing me multiple times,” the streamer said.
The clip of the interaction has since gone viral across Twitch, and it goes to show that IRL streaming has its dangers. It’s completely unpredictable how strangers may react to you simply talking into a camera.
