Pokimane hits back at gender \u201cbiases\u201d in streaming scandals Pokimane, YouTube[jwplayer 3rV0GuQ7]Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is one of Twitch\u2019s most popular streamers \u2014 as well as one of its biggest female broadcasters \u2014 and as such, she\u2019s hitting back at the double-standards she feels viewers have toward women on the platform. Pokimane is a huge name in the online streaming world, boasting over 5 million followers due to her humorous interactions with fans in multiplayer games and her hilarious reactions to content online. However, Anys is no stranger to backlash, with many critics hounding her social media profiles to harass her fans by calling them \u201csimps\u201d \u2014 not to mention always bringing up her viral no-makeup selfie. These trolls, alongside the recent cancel-culture boom in the online entertainment space, seems to have struck a nerve with the streamer, who took to her personal Twitter account to air out her feelings on double-standards in the broadcasting space on July 20. \u201cIn this industry, a girl f***s up: What a fake b***h, such a worthless piece of s***, also go die in a hole,\u201d she began. \u201cA guy f***s up: Omg king don\u2019t worry, everyone makes mistakes, we know you have a good heart and will be here for you forever.\u201d in this industry, a girl fucks up: what a fake bitch, such a worthless piece of shit, also go die in a hole.a guy fucks up: omg king don\u2019t worry, everyone makes mistakes, we know you have a good heart and will be here for you forever \ud83d\udc51\ud83d\ude14\ud83d\udc4f\u2014 imane \ud83d\udc9c (@imane) July 20, 2020 \u201cIt sucks because I can understand why,\u201d she continued. \u201cGuys have an easier time relating to guys, and girls to girls, so if a community is male-dominated, there\u2019s bound to be biases. But I hope that in this day and age, we can learn to be both fair and empathetic with others regardless of this.\u201d it sucks because i can understand why, guys have an easier time relating to guys, and girls to girls, so if a community is male-dominated, there\u2019s bound to be biases. but, i hope that in this day & age, we can learn to be both fair and empathetic with others regardless of this. \u2014 imane (@imane) July 20, 2020 \u201cIt\u2019s obviously a generalization of what usually happens in majority male industries,\u201d she added in response to a critic\u2019s concerns over her statement. \u201cNot tryna be like, \u2018eff all men,\u2019 I\u2019m just stating what I\u2019ve generally observed being in this scene for seven years.\u201d it\u2019s obviously a generalization of what usually happens in majority male industries. not tryna be like \u201ceff all men\u201d, i\u2019m just stating what i\u2019ve generally observed being in this scene for 7 years. \u2014 imane \ud83d\udc9c (@imane) July 20, 2020 Imane\u2019s comments follow the recent exodus of fellow streamer \u2018Fedmyster\u2019 from Offline TV, who was ousted from the entertainment group for purported sexual misconduct towards its female members. While it\u2019s unclear if Anys was referencing this incident, several fans are speculating thus \u2014 as well as hitting back at her Tweets with such examples as Alinity Divine, another streamer who has sparked ire from male viewers for past offenses without being banned for them. Fan theories aside, Anys\u2019s Tweets have set off a slew of conversation regarding how women are treated by viewers for any on-stream slipups as the conversation around acceptable online behavior continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
