32-year-old Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter became the biggest gaming streamer in the world on YouTube during the Corona pandemic with the Steam hit “Among Us”. Now she appeared dressed like a schoolgirl and was told on Twitter that at 32, she had reached her expiration date and should start having children.
Who is Valkyrae? Valkyrae was a relatively small streamer on Twitch, who first gained more attention in 2018 with Fortnite and joined the esports organization 100 Thieves.
However, in January 2020, the then head of YouTube Gaming saw huge potential in the American and signed her exclusively to YouTube. But at the beginning of her time on YouTube, Valkyrae was going through a personal crisis, hardly streamed anymore, and it seemed as if her signing was a complete flop.
But with the Corona pandemic, Valkyrae flourished on YouTube. She became the central anchor point of a group of streamers who played “Among Us” together, even surpassing her friend Pokimane: Valkyrae became the largest gaming streamer in the world by the end of 2020 and won several awards and recognitions.
User says: At 32, Valkyrae is too old to behave like this
This is what she had to hear: Valkyrae appeared cheerful in schoolgirl clothing and posed in front of the camera.
A Twitter user did not find this funny at all. He wrote:
“Valkyrae is 32 years old and dresses like a schoolgirl. Super weird! Go and start a family!”
Later he added that Valkyrae had reached her expiration date. She was not behaving appropriately for her age. The Twitter user regularly rants on X about influencers and how out of touch they are. He apparently can’t stand women who dress provocatively.
This is how Valkyrae responds: She appears cheerful on stream and replies:
I want to address the accusations: The accusations are true: Yes, I am aging, I am indeed a woman, a woman with ovaries, and I am getting older. And yes: I will have to listen for the rest of my life that I am too old for video games and too old to dress up for Halloween.
She sighed heavily.
Fun fact, which is in no way related: Valkyrae’s net worth is estimated to be about 4 million US dollars.
Valkyrae has now been working as an influencer for more than 5 years and also knows the not-so-nice sides of being known by so many young men who sometimes have a strange relationship with her: Streamer speaks about the shockingly gross sides of being a gaming star
