Anyone else would be facing consequences immediately, not doubling down with excuses. This isn’t “content” ... it’s alleged theft, and she should be held accountable through the proper legal process just like anyone else. 😡", expressed a netizen."when I come steal your streaming setup keep the same energy lol your company would not be losing money either. 😂", commented another."Imagine being someone and going on twitch and out of all the people streaming they choose to watch this thing 😭😭😭", penned a third.Others also chimed in:"“ain’t nobody missing no money”, she don’t realize that doesn’t matter the point is she is wearing a $1k+ canada goose, she is a famous twitch streamer that definitely has the income to afford it and yet for some reason she thinks it’s okay for her to steal", noted an X user."Bless your heart, sugar, but stealing is stealing, whether it’s a ribeye or a pack of gum. My mama would’ve tanned your hide for less, and Target ain’t your personal charity. Have some shame, child. You know who ends up paying for your little stunt? US! You're right Target isn't losing money because they wull just jack up the prices of everything to recover the loss.", commented another."Nina Lin brushing off shoplifting as harmless makes her sound oblivious to the fact that stealing isn’t activism just entitlement dressed up as logic.", wrote a third.As of now, the legal repercussions of the incident remain unclear. According to reports, it may depend on whether Target or local authorities view the footage as evidence of wrongdoing.Also Read: Who will join Bad Bunny at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show?
