Imane "Pokimane" Anys has criticized Twitch fans for setting sexist double standards for female streamers, including herself. While the 25-year-old streamer has been subjected to hate raids and harassment so far this year, Pokimane said that most of the abuse she receives is misogynistic in nature.

On January fifteen, Pokimane slammed viewers on her stream who hold attractiveness against female streamers as if beingness attractive in the first place is immoral. "Why is information technology that people like to hold how attractive someone is against them? People would simply exist like your viewers only like the way they wait, and they desire to f**one thousand you. For starters, that'due south rude and gross. Nobody asked," Pokimane said in a clip of her latest stream. She added that bewitchery isn't a huge issue even if someone does find a female streamer "hot."

To indicate out the double standard, Pokimane claims that famous male person actors, especially those who star in teen dramas likeRiverdale,Never Accept I Ever…, andCobra Kai, have fanbases filled with girls who fawn over them, all the same no one tells them how beautiful their fanbase thinks they are. Meanwhile, female streamers have to put upward with viewers who are so obsessed with their appearance and utilise that every bit a means to ignominy their piece of work.

Pokimane's grievances come after a public feud betwixt Keemstar and JiDion, the latter of whom targeted her and her fans on Twitch. JiDion told her fans on his own stream that no matter how much money they donated to her aqueduct or how many hours they lookout man her streams, Pokimane is not going to have s#x with them. He received a ii-week ban after making a sexually explicit annotate regarding her and her beau.

The double standards over the attractiveness of female streamers are just some other aspect about Twitch that Pokimane has lamented over in the last few weeks. On Jan v, she said she regrets spending the concluding eight years on Twitch because it left her struggling to figure out her true identity and never gave her a take chances to live life equally fully as other people her historic period.
