How could anyone do this to her? This is absolutely outrageous. At least everything turned out alright in the end.

Sue Jacquot, an 81-year old grandmother from Queen Creek, AZ, known on YouTube as "GrandmaCrackers" who went viral for streaming Minecraft to raise money for her grandson's cancer treatment, was recently swatted live on stream.

The swatting occurred on the night of May 18th during a live stream on her channel. Viewers were treated to the sight of armed police officers walking into her streaming room, guns drawn, as they searched the premises. The broadcast didn’t end, as she was in the middle of a 24/7 streaming marathon, but she returned the next day to chat about the situation, assuring viewers that she was just fine. She posted a video on her YouTube channel recently talking about the situation with her grandson.

In fact, she was more than fine. The grandmother gave a very lighthearted account of the swatting, saying she was asleep when police arrived at her house. “The prettiest police woman I’ve ever seen, beautiful eyes, she was so sweet. But I think she could kick butt if she needed to”, she said as her grandson laughed beside her. “They walked me out, and I didn’t know what was going on, but it was kinda fun. My grandkid and my kid were hugging me – you can’t get that much attention normally. I was really eating it up. It was kinda fun”.

She even got her very first ride in a police car before everything was settled, after which the grandmother says she popped an ibuprofen and “went to bed”. “I met people I never would have met any other way”, she continued. “It was fun”. Her grandson explained that authorities had brought 20 police cars, five SWAT officers, and drones flying over top of the house, though she says she “never felt more protected”.

Thus far, the identity of her swatter is unknown, but the incident has certainly ruffled feathers among her fanbase, who are shocked to learn that someone would swat a person as wholesome as GrandmaCrackers.

"UK-based artist/VTuber, Mimi Yanagi (supposed real name, "Alexandra Williams") revealed from her original Twitter account that she was held in custody by the authorities after being arrested on April 20th under the UK's Coroners and Justice Act 2009, which bans certain non-photographic images like anime art depicting fictional underage figures in obscene ways, her art features her loli-style character in suggestive outfits. Authorities confescated all of her devices and was released on bail with extreme conditions, she must use a new handle with her real name displayed, posts only safe-for-work content, and stay fully transparent as her investigation into online activities continues—penalties could include prison or sex offender registration. Anime fans rallied with support and outrage over artistic freedom, while skeptics question the story's details amid no official police comment or court confirmation yet, and some defend it as curbing simulated child exploitation."

(It's the only news-like article I could find as of now, every other sites that are talking about this are either forum sites or posts from other subreddits, Facebook & Twitter. But I'll still link a couple of them on this post for transparency reasons I suppose? If moderators would like me to remove these other links, I'll gladly oblige.)
