Pokimane explains why she comes across as “judgmental” to others

As a gamer who has grown up following the journey of Pokimane, I can’t help but admire her authenticity and unwavering spirit. Her life experience in the video game space, general conversation, and personal experiences have shaped her into a strong, opinionated woman who isn’t afraid to navigate through difficult conversations.


Pokimane discussed the reasons behind her perceived “critical” demeanor, revealing that high personal standards, which often seem “tough” to herself, shape her expectations towards others.

Among the most renowned content producers globally, Pokimane has earned her reputation by excelling in various domains such as video gaming, casual discussions, and sharing insights from her life and personal encounters.

Yet, she isn’t exempt from stirring up debates and receiving intense criticism. Frequently, she finds herself embroiled in disputes due to comments made in her videos or during live streams.

Regarding Poki, she’s always ready to engage in challenging discussions or tackle sensitive topics – whether it involves debating with other content creators like xQc, facing criticism over her food company Myna Snacks launch, or any other issue that comes her way.

On the October 27, 2024, edition of the Sweet n Sour podcast, Pokimane and her collaborator LilyPichu had a conversation about striking a balance between keeping their content genuine and ensuring their personal safety.

To begin with, Poki pointed out that the approach may vary depending on one’s identity and preferences, before expressing her own perspective.

Pokimane admitted that she can appear “critical” and “tough” towards her viewers and those close to her. However, she explained this trait by sharing, “Since I’m very hard on myself, I tend to be hard on others as well.

In my own words, I emphasized that the drive to articulate my thoughts freely and hold strong opinions plays a crucial role in preserving the genuine nature of my work.

In conversation with Lily, Poki explained that although she sometimes speaks more forcefully and encounters criticism, she believes there’s a segment of people out there who share her views based on what she expresses.

Furthermore, she underscored the significance of becoming a resource that people can identify with or bond with, and she stressed that self-expression plays a crucial role in achieving this connection.

“It seems to me that if you don’t share your thoughts or feelings with others, they won’t have anything in common with you to bond over.

Poki remarked, “I enjoy expressing myself, and while I believe I’m improving, there’s always room for growth. I strive to maintain harmony with my work, even when re-watching it.

After wrapping up the conversation, Poki playfully remarked, “No matter what you say, chances are folks will have moved on within two hours due to seeing around 200 more TikToks and Reels.
