OfflineTV co-founder Scarra dropped an eyebrow-raising detail about Twitch CEO Dan Clancy during a post-TwitchCon stream this week.
While sharing stories from TwitchCon San Diego 2024, the veteran streamer mentioned that Clancy “was out a lot of nights with young girls around him.” He quickly added “which whatever man, if that’s your thing, that’s your thing.”
The comment made waves online after clips of the segment began circulating. Scarra made no allegations of illegal behavior or misconduct. His tone suggested he was commenting on optics rather than making accusations.
Scarra has been a fixture in the streaming world since his League of Legends pro days with Dignitas. He co-founded OfflineTV and is known for measured takes on industry issues. When he speaks about Twitch business, people listen.
TwitchCon San Diego 2025 was already under fire before this comment surfaced. Multiple creators voiced concerns about inadequate security and staff responses during the convention. Emiru was among the high-profile streamers who detailed troubling experiences with harassment and insufficient protection on the show floor.
The convention has faced similar criticism before. In 2022, a foam pit activation resulted in Adriana Chechik breaking her back that sparked widespread pushback about event safety standards.
What happens at TwitchCon
Scarra’s observation touches on a question that often comes up at creator conventions: what professional boundaries should exist when company leaders mix with talent during official events?
The distinction between official TwitchCon programming and after-hours socializing can blur during these multi-day gatherings. CEOs attending fan conventions is standard practice across gaming and tech. But the optics matter, especially when a platform is already facing heat over how it runs these events.
Twitch hasn’t publicly responded to Scarra’s comments.
