Twitch streamer Pokimane called out fellow female broadcasters who undermined her by making negative comments about her, in an attempt to promote their own channels.
Imane ‘Pokimane‘ Anys is one of Twitch’s most-followed streamers and the platform’s most-followed female creator overall, known for her bubbly personality and humorous gaming broadcasts.
Although being a well-known personality isn’t always a bed of roses, as she has been involved in various heated discussions throughout her career; from the controversial live stream without makeup to the Mina cookies scandal, Pokimane has experienced both the positive and negative aspects of internet fame.
In fact, Anys says that she’s even witnessed other female creators using her past drama to promote their own content by bringing her down.
Pokimane takes aim at other female streamers bringing her down
On the March 17th edition of her ‘Sweet ‘n Sour’ podcast alongside LilyPichu, Pokimane addressed certain broadcasters, questioning whether they genuinely intend to foster an audience through such methods.
“Every single time that I get into some sort of controversy or ‘drama’ online, I will see other female streamers… that start promoting their streams by putting me down. ‘Come see my stream, I’m nothing like that b-word Pokimane!’
“Hey, maybe that gets you a few more viewers for the night, but on the other hand, is that really the community you want to build? Because if you, as a woman, are building a community of guys that hate me, likely for some misogynistic reasons, maybe for some others… chances are, they will turn on you just as quickly.
“That’s not really who you want as part of your fanbase anyway. Personally, I might label that as a little bit pick-me behavior, but such is life.”

LilyPichu echoed Pokimane’s viewpoint, expressing her disapproval towards people who belittle others to boost their own standing, regardless of their gender, but particularly if they share a friendship with them.
On previous occasions, Pokimane has spoken about similar occurrences. While in France last February, the streamer found herself tearing up after noting that people had been incredibly kind to her there, following a lot of harsh comments she’d received online from the U.S.
