The file allegedly connected to a folder with over 1,700 illegal adult files, sparking outrage across social media. Viewers and fellow creators have called for a permanent ban for the streamer.

During his Twitch stream, Lacari briefly opened a notepad file containing a link. According to reports, the link led to an EMLOAD folder with numerous disturbing adult files. Some of the titles reportedly included references to illegal and harmful content.
