LuluLuvely’s struggle with hate
On June 9 stream, LuluLuvely ended her stream abruptly, after saying “I haven’t been in a dark place for a long time, but this community pushes me over the edge. It makes me think about killing myself all the f**king time now.”
Despite a majority of viewers and fans backing the streamer and sending supportive messages, the small vocal minority can be overwhelming.
