Most streamer privacy advice is a checklist: VPN, separate email, scrub metadata. The doxxing cases say something different. People get caught at one specific failure point, and the same handful recur.
I read five documented cases for the mechanism, not the spectacle. Keffals: a detail in a posted photo, matched to a location. Valkyrae, Cinna and Emiru, 2025: an IRL stream is a live location signal. Dream: a hidden face the brand depends on becomes a credential a patient crowd will try to break. Nadia Amine: an address already in broker data needs no new mistake. Jacksfilms: your threat model includes a rival.
Five failure modes, one taxonomy. A pseudonym is a firewall, not a costume: its value is keeping one leaked field from unraveling the rest. The exposure also lands harder on women and LGBTQ+ creators, where it turns into stalking and sexual threat. The gender-neutral guides do not price that in.
