After over five women alleged that Twitch streamer SayNoToRage had sexually harassed them, the gamer addressed the claims in a YouTube video, apologizing for his actions and seeming to corroborate at least some victims' stories. "I am not a victim in this situation. There is no excuse for my behavior. There is no way to gloss over it and the things that I did were unacceptable," SayNoToRage, who doesn't share his full name publicly and goes by the first name Lono, said in Saturday's video. Lono had previously posted another video apologizing, Dexerto reported, but he said he deleted it because he sounded "insincere." "I took something from people, I took memories and events and they are now clouded and darkened by my selfish and reckless behavior," he said. "Being inappropriate with these people robbed them of their sense of safety and security and it broke trust, and I am deeply sorry."Lono, a partner with Twitch who streams the first-person shooter game "Destiny" daily on the platform for 173,000 followers, added that he was particularly "saddened" to have hurt people he was close with through what many women called unwanted sexual advances."I'm very deeply saddened that I did this to people that I thought were friends, I considered friends, and I cared about, and I had no intention for this to happen, but that does not excuse it, and that does not make it any less painful," he said. On Friday, streamer JulesVerne said that she once played "an entire card game with a notable streamer's hand on my thigh the whole time and was then basically asked for sex," adding that "it was Lono." The streamer, who did not return Insider's request for comment, sparked a massive response from many other women who said they have faced their own experiences of harassment with Lono.  —JewelsVerne 🏳️‍🌈 (@DawktaJawlz) June 20, 2020Sarah Daniels Barrett, an actor, singer, and Twitch partner, said that she was "cornered and made uncomfortable enough to have blocked one particular incident out of [her] memory until it was jogged recently." In an email to Insider, Barrett said that Lono harassed her at a Tampa, Fla., at the GuardianCon convention in 2017."I kept it to myself because I've been physically assaulted many times in the past, and dealing with some creepy comments about my body and my looks or how his wife 'didn't want him alone with other women when he was drunk' or how he 'gets really sexual when he drinks' didn't seem like enough to say something," Daniels Barrett told Insider via email. "News flash, survivors, it is. We can't keep equating the severity of harassment to how important it is to speak up or how deeply it can affect people. All harassment is harassment." Lono confirmed to Insider that he interacted with Daniels Barrett at GuardianCon in 2017 and said that he "made a comment about her being short like me." Lono added that he recalls saying, "I'm not really supposed to drink at these events."—Sarah Daniels Barrett (@SarahDanielsTV) June 20, 2020Two more streamers wrote essays alleging harassment claims against Lono on Medium. Twitch partner Mindofsnaps said that her experiences in 2018 with Lono "left [her] feeling violated and uncomfortable," and that she documented these moments in an email sent to him later on. PrincessKitley said in her essay that Lono had sent suggestive messages to her, which she included screenshots of in the article."The comments just got worse and I didn't even speak up for myself. I didn't know how. I just kept dodging the remarks like it was normal. He was my 'friend,'" she wrote of Lono, who is married. Chris Shannon, the community manager for Bungie, the developer behind "Destiny," wrote on Twitter, "Proud of the brave women in the community coming forward." Shannon added that "Bungie hasn't worked with Lono in a long time and won't ever again." When reached via email, Lono told Insider that he didn't think it was "appropriate" to elaborate beyond his apology video at press time, but added that he's been in therapy for two years. The allegations against Lono come amid a reckoning with sexual assault among Twitch streamers, influencers, celebrities, and business leaders in what appears to be a new wave of #MeToo allegations online. The influx of allegations against powerful men began as a result of protests over George Floyd's murder, which led to many people sharing their stories of racial injustice. In a statement on Sunday, Twitch addressed the recent allegations against its partnered streamers. "We take accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct extremely seriously," the statement said. "We're thankful for the bravery shown by those who have come forward to speak about their experiences, and we are committed to working to make the streaming community safer for everyone." A representative for Twitch told Insider that the company couldn't share which specific streamers they were investigating. Daniels Barrett said she has "no doubt" that there's a trend of harassment within the Twitch streaming community. "I myself have been personally targeted with hateful raids from partnered streamers, one example is when a streamer sent his entire community over (hundreds of viewers) to spam 'do you have a boyfriend?' in my chat," she said. But she added that these experiences happened before she married her husband, Christopher Barrett, a game director at Bungie. "I feel like people are a little more scared of me now, which is stellar, but it shouldn't take another white man in power to scare away these predators," she said.
