The streamer Pokimane is one of the biggest celebrities on Twitch and the largest female streamer in the world. However, in a tweet, she has criticized other female streamers whom she feels gossip too much.
This is what Pokimane says: Pokimane tweeted today, February 24 that she finds too many female streamers toxic. She does not like that some women gain their popularity by putting down others:
If you are a female streamer who actively and exclusively hates other female streamers, I recommend finding a hobby. This attitude will get you nowhere.
The tweet received significant support from the community, with over 13,000 likes and over 600 retweets (as of 3:20 PM). However, Pokimane did not reveal who she was referring to. The individuals in question are not worth “the attention from being named.”
Who is Pokimane? As of now, according to the statistics site SullyGnome, Pokimane is ranked 12th among streamers with the most followers on Twitch. With nearly 3 million followers, she is the largest female streamer in the world, having almost three times as many followers as the second (AriGameplays) and third (KittyPlays) places among female streamers.
She is primarily known for streaming hits like League of Legends and Fortnite, although she has also had bad experiences with young admirers in the latter. However, Pokimane is also considered one of the biggest content creators for Fortnite.
This is how the community reacts
Pokimane receives a lot of support for her statement. Some of her fans even expand on the statement. A follower wishes that this applies to all women, while others believe that such an attitude should generally prevail among all people. All streamers and content creators should support each other, not just female streamers.
However, some members of the community also respond with criticism. With her tweet, Pokimane has done exactly what she criticizes in others to get into the spotlight. However, the accusations are kept in check.
The streaming field is currently dominated by men, primarily by Twitch star Ninja. Pokimane is thus a pioneer for women in this profession and is considered a role model by many. The issue she raised will likely lead to many discussions.
