VTuber ‘Harukie’ was humiliated after being pranked by Twitch chat with the oldest trick in the book, which cost her a lot of money.
Twitch chat is notorious for trying to prank streamers. We’ve seen it all over the years, from embarrassing donation messages to troll comments and purposefully incorrect advice.
Getting someone to press alt and F4 at the same time to force them to close whatever application they’re using has to be the most common and ancient of all pranks.
That’s exactly what happened to VTuber Harukie during a Terraria broadcast, and she was left completely perplexed.
A user joked during a May 10 stream that Harukie should try using “alt+f4” on torches, prompting the VTuber to think about it and try it. If the game’s ending wasn’t bad enough, Harukie’s disappointment grew when she realized she hadn’t saved.
The upset streamer even had trouble explaining what had happened to her friends, asking them not to ask any questions about it.
The streamer, for her part, insisted that she had no idea about the joke and that she was not a “keyboard shortcut sorta girl.”
In any case, it appears that Harukie will be more cautious in the future, and will not simply press buttons at the request of viewers, risking damage to her games or streams.
