Pokimane explains why being called a \u201cTwitch thot\u201d doesn\u2019t bother her OfflineTV, YouTubeImane \u201cPokimane\u201d Anys is one of Twitch\u2019s most popular streamers, boasting a huge audience of over 3.9 million followers on the site \u2014 but being an internet star doesn\u2019t come without its difficulties. Although Pokimane sports a hugely supportive fanbase, she likewise has a horde of haters, many of whom label her a \u201cTwitch thot\u201d \u2014 an insulting term meant to degrade women on the platform by accusing them of using their sexuality to get views. While she is best known for her hilarious interactions with fans and Fortnite Duos streams, Anys has apparently come to terms with the insult in her many years of being a top-tier broadcaster. She spoke on this particular word in an OfflineTV video on February 20, where the streaming squad got together to read mean Tweets about themselves in the style of Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s popular television segment. One of the \u201cmean Tweets\u201d about Pokimane was made in response to a fan-created Fortnite skin for the star, which read, \u201cI don\u2019t think they should make a skin for a Twitch thot. They made one for Loserfruit, but she\u2019s not a thot.\u201d After having a good laugh at the ridiculous commenter, who went on to preemtively defend themselves against \u201c12-year-old fanboy white knights,\u201d Anys explained why being called a \u201cthot\u201d isn\u2019t something that bothers her anymore. \u201c\u2018Thot\u2019 is like the lowest list of anything that will hurt me,\u201d she joked. \u201cI\u2019ve heard that sh*t a million times!\u201d (Segment begins at 5:00 for mobile readers) That\u2019s not all: Pokimane also commented on the seemingly neverending jabs at her viral makeupless selfie, with one commenter writing, \u201cLooks like you\u2019re thankful for makeup and filters\u201d on her Thanksgiving day photos. \u201cBut like, I am!\u201d she admitted. \u201cI\u2019m so not ashamed of it! I think most girls are. Filters are insane, nowadays!\u201d While the rest of the gang also read aloud some extremely disturbing posts directed at them, their video just goes to show that if you\u2019ve got haters, you\u2019re doing something right \u2014 and those who take the time to spout toxicity are usually just taking out their own frustrations on others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
