Would like if the actual incident was clipped. Because from using what she's saying and looking at the Twitch chat, it seems like a typical Twitch chat and in-line with what's expected on her channel.
Seemingly they wanted her bellybutton to show. Which might just as well be a call for a more faithful cosplay, as it can have had people trolling regarding showing more, to sexual creeps. However, there's also people in chat getting confused at her reaction, either people saying sorry that they were just trolling, people saying they thought trolling wasn't a big deal for her previously, people saying it's trolling gone wrong, etc. Seemingly it happened within the span of a minute, so might as well be a small group of intentional trolls raiding a streamer or it might an in-channel joke gone wrong.
Really, until a more relevant clip shows up, it's a pretty non-topic (actually it's still a non-topic, even if it does, because this is a reality for all streamers.). Yes, Twitch chat can often be terrible if you take everything seriously or if you're raided. It's not something unique though and generally there's a system of mods that help larger channels deal with stuff like this. According to chat the mods seemingly were sleeping. Or it was as I said somewhat within the internal humor of the channel, though not necessarily something she ultimately liked, thus causing mods not to intervene until they saw her reaction.
Streamers have to be prepared for the emotional tax, because they'll deal with a lot of positivity and negativity, a lot of wanted attention and unwanted attention. It's kind of like a stand-up set, you'll get hecklers. And unlike the heckler, you generally have an advantage, either in terms of your audience, in terms of being given the most attention to your response and argument or in terms of having ways of banning said person/people. Should uncomfortable experiences happen? Probably not. But if you've worked in most jobs, it's a reality. Work in school? You'll have a ton. Work in healthcare? Tons. Work in retail? Too many to think of.

the topic is about twitch wanking culture more than gaming in this case.

I would need way more context to understand this. She's already broken down at the point the video starts. Nonetheless, it looks like a good Tifa cosplay and pleasing to the eye. She looks pretty young so there's no reason to be exposing herself more unless that (some element of flesh trade) is her intended career arc.

People can cry for a lot of reasons. Might not cry at all in the beginning, but something just triggers it all to burst out. People have a lot of insecurities and certain things might trigger it. I don't see the reason to shame crying. Crying is a fucking great release. I wish I could cry more easily.
However, if you're a streamer, then you should be mentally prepared for what awaits you. Sadly young people are signing up to streaming sites, often completely unaware of what they'll actually have to deal with. That's why not everyone is made to be a streamer.
However, if you've got a decently sized channel, you should know what comes with the territory. The odd situation that's either the cause of a few vocal trolls raiding your channel (maybe it got highlighted on the front page?) to misunderstandings within your own chat jabber. No shame in crying then, but a composure to show that you're in control is definitely needed.
Most chats are generally full of your own supporters, knowing the internal culture of your channel. Most things are unnecessary wanking of the streamer or internal jokes or calls to do something. Big streamers see this all as a quick scroll, barely able to pay attention to much of it. That's why I'm a bit skeptical of people being too "omg twitch chat sux", because generally they're your own community, with some exceptions. People barely have the ability to convey a message, often due to quick moving chats. That's why you'll see a lot of memes or emotes or calls for people to do things.
Streamers generally have the brunt of the power, unless losing complete control over their chat for some reason and not having the mod capacity to deal with it. Due to a general community on their side, they can even get abusive towards people in the chat as well. They'll easily comment on the personality of the person, call them names, etc. I know a few somewhat big personalities that have done so. Sometimes they'll just ban the people that disagree with them on something. Sometimes they'll spend time shittalking them first and then ban them. Generally the response depends on the streamer and their personality. As I said, not all people are really made for streaming. Smaller channels struggle far harder in regarding abuse. Heck, smaller channels have a larger chance of people in chat arguing with each other, because they have time to write more and get more attention.

A serious answer - most streamers use a big monitor that's placed vertically just for a full-screen chat by itself. It's not that it isn't moving fast, but it looks slower as it holds onto each message in view for longer. So they can spot the one negative comment they wanted to feel sad about in a sea of comments.

Never show weakness to Twitch chat, it's an organic beast that can smell blood in the water miles away.

How about clean off your damn couch and make your room look presentable too? Jfc maybe put some effort into it beyond wearing a costume. Maybe if your body wasn’t the only interesting thing on screen this wouldn’t happen.

Sorry, that's all I could think of after seeing your avatar.
It's shame for this girl that there are so many thots on Twitch and simps that demand skin for money.

So, she made a shitty not faithful cosplay and got criticized for it and then started crying after going apeshit at her chat for a few minutes.
Just don't cosplay as a literal sex icon, were people have certain expectations, if you have trouble with showing skin. Like wtf were you expecting, girl?

I hear ya.
Anyone who wants to gets clicks or money by acting and dressing like an ass deserves to be ridiculed.
Amazingly, you'd think streamers like this would be 8 years olds who want to have fun and act like superheroes and their parents give them a hand with setting up a camera.
Instead, the vast majority of stuff like this comes from grown adults.

She looks young. She'll be a blood-sucking bitch in about 10 years. Don't you worry, bro.

People can be assholes, but hopefully she learns not to put so much energy in the confirmation by others.

In a lot of cases I do think people need to grower a thicker skin.
I think the problem is though, we're so used to the games media in particular being thirsty to latch on to any "that's this-ist/that-phobic!" bullshit story, that there can be times when people are less sympathetic than they could be to people who are experiencing genuine shittiness, and this seems like one of those occasions to me, although I'm saying that with no knowledge of this streamer whatsoever as I'd never heard of her before I clicked on this thread.

I don’t get these females, she’s clearly attractive. Why would she care what people, who she will probably never meet in person, think. It’s pretty pathetic, on both sides.

We call them 'women'. They get all the attention they want or cry.
She's... ahhh... my kind of lady. Definitely.

Yeah I mean it's scummy behaviour to be constant pester her to show more or what ever but I honestly struggle to feel any kind of sympathy for her either.
It's like people who break down over dick heads who send mean messages in online games, they have no grip on reality.
But then as a few people have said she's probably aware of what she's doing and getting them clicks.

What a terrible cosplay with no effort.
No midriff & navel? I'm in favor for all those chatters.
The cosplay is instant fail.

Toughen up, you don’t get to be internet famous without procuring enough voices to drown out the naysayers and fabricate your safe space.
Yes, that was meant to be back-handed advice.

After watching the actual clip of her in cosplay and yelling at her chat, I think everyone’s terrible. She’s clearly just trying to get attention and money with a poorly made cosplay outfit. The chat is pestering her to be more faithful to the character and also demanding to be shown more skin. They’re both just trying to use each other. Geez, what did she expect? What did the chat expect?
I feel like a worse person for even having an opinion on this. Thanks Twitch, Streamer-lady, and the internet as a whole.

She's an attractive girl who must surely know many guys want to see her as naked as possible.
Maybe the tears are to boost her public profile and her bank account?

Exactly.
Howard Stern used to say this on air. Sex and conflict get ratings.
As for her crying, don't fool yourself people. Many losers pleading for help and crying know what they are doing to get attention and money bags.
It's scummy, but if idiots out there want to send her donations and paypal transactions, someone is going to take advantage and grab the cash.

Bad cosplay considering the skirt is supposed to be lower and shorter, not higher and longer. Regardless, she's sexy either way.
