Brandon Abrams, a.k.a. Black or Graphist, is one of the very few people for whom streaming on Twitch is a full-time job. The 21-year-old built his audience by appealing to a demographic that's hungry for controversy and drama. His Twitch content often consists of him sitting in his bedroom playing RuneScape (a popular browser-based fantasy game) and smoking weed in front of a webcam for hours at a time. Sometimes he’s an IRL streamer, venturing out into the real world to broadcast escapades like crashing a party at rapper T.I.’s mansion in Los Angeles, fighting fellow streamers in an amateur boxing match in the middle of the street or vomiting on himself after drinking too much.

Now Abrams has been accused of sexual misconduct by four women. Their accusations include an incident where Abrams allegedly assaulted an unconscious woman, another where he masturbated onto a woman without her consent, a third incident involving Abrams spying on a female housemate and a fourth where he verbally harassed a streamer at a public event. The incidents allegedly took place between late 2017 and October 2018. Complicating matters further are internal rules that video-streaming site Twitch imposes on streamers which, some say, make it difficult to comment about these issues publicly.
