Swatting refers to someone finding a streamer’s address or location. The troll then makes a hoax emergency call to falsely claim some kind of extreme violence. Next, armed officers storm into the location, creating a scary situation for the victim of the swatting.
Nadia mysteriously disappeared during a recent livestream, and she returned with an officer confirming that she had been swatted.
The officer said hello to the chat and proceeded to ask, “Can you at least throw some emotes in the chat, or at least some hype in the chat?”
Doing his best to lighten the mood, the officer said: “Her stream doesn’t need to end early just because someone wants to be a jerk.”
The Warzone streamer responded to the scary situation over on Twitter: “I just got swatted, unfortunately the harassment has been a bit overbearing.”
Fans are hopeful that Nadia no longer faces any further abuse from the video game community. The Warzone streamer puts it best, saying, “Scary world we live in.”
