Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is the uncrowned queen of the streaming world in many ways. She\u2019s wholesome, her content is entertaining, and she genuinely seems to care about her fans. Controversy hasn\u2019t escaped her, but she has always apologized or explained the situation in more detail. Still, for whatever reason, she\u2019s the streamer some people love to hate and is often subject to negative comments about herself, her looks, and her success on Twitch. It happened again in her latest stream when an anonymous donator said she\u2019s only successful because of her looks. However, she decided to hit back and give them a piece of her mind. \u201cPeople only like you because of your looks,\u201d said the donator. \u201cWe don\u2019t know your real personality.\u201d It was a crude comment intended to get a reaction out of Pokimane. She stirred her thoughts for a moment and then responded. \u201cYou know, it\u2019s quite odd,\u201d she said. \u201cThe amount of people who go to the extent of sending me money just to summarize any success I\u2019ve ever had in \u201cyour looks.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s weird because I think\u2026 anybody can say that\u2026 when you\u2019re in a position of entertaining.\u201d Read more: Pokimane hits out at \u201cdisgusting\u201d comments &#8211; \u201cOf course, looking in a way that is attractive to some\u2026 can be a benefit to everyone,\u201d she said. \u201cAs can a variety of other things. Being funny. Being hard working. Everybody has positive traits or negative traits or whatever.\u201d \u201cBut I think objectively, logically, have you not seen a billion girls, especially on Twitch, that look far better than me?\u201d she said. \u201cHow can my success be only due to the way that I look when there are many that look far better than me?\u201d \u201cFurthermore, why are you wasting your damn money trying to tell me this?\u201d she said. \u201cTake your money and spend it on yourself. Go buy yourself some makeup, do this, and have a career or something.\u201d \u201cYou are not benefiting yourself whatsoever. I don\u2019t even know your user name. I just hear your words. Neither does anybody else in my chat,\u201d she said. \u201cPlease take your money, do something that\u2019ll actually make you feel better. That\u2019ll actually make a lasting impact on your life.\u201d In a perfect world, people wouldn\u2019t go out of their way to make negative comments about others, and they wouldn\u2019t pay money to try and downplay a streamer\u2019s success. But unfortunately, we\u2019re not quite there yet. Pokimane deserves to be in the position she\u2019s in because she sacrificed a lot and worked hard to make it happen. Not everyone would turn their back on a chemical engineering degree to focus on streaming, but she did, and it paid off. Plus, she\u2019s a talented entertainer, and her content is what keeps most people coming back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pokimane hits back at critics claiming people only tune in for \u201cher looks\u201d PokimanePokimane hit back at an anonymous donator who wasted their own time and money to claim people only like her because of her looks and urged them to spend it on something that will make them happy.
