Pokimane hits out at TikTok drama & toxic fans for ruining social media Instagram: pokimanelolTwitch personality Pokimane has taken to Twitter to criticize recent TikTok drama for making her \u201chead hurt\u201d, as she implores users to think more about the \u201cconsequences\u201d of their actions. One of Twitch\u2019s most popular streamers, Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys, knows a thing or two about the pressures of being an online influencer. With over 5 million subscribers\/followers on Twitch and Instagram, she\u2019s considered to be one of the faces of the platform. But, naturally, this popularity has come at a price, as she previously broke down during a Twitch interview about her struggle to separate her private persona from her public one. Most recently, she hit out at neighboring influencer hub, TikTok, calling the drama on the platform \u201csh**ty\u201d while also taking aim at some of the more illogical comments. She suggested that social media \u201cisn\u2019t good for anyone \u2013 not the creator or the user,\u201d attributing the blame for that on the claim that \u201cpeople online want the insight of a family member but the responsibility of a stranger\u201d. Hitting out at fans for refusing to take accountability for the hate they send content creators, Pokimane noted that such people want to \u201cknow it all and hold others to unrealistic standards, all while not thinking twice about their own actions or consequences.\u201d Although recent TikTok drama has evidently given Pokimane some perspective, it is clear that she also, in some ways, is using her own negative experiences as a popular public figure on the internet. Compared to personalities on TikTok, the streamer is a lot less forthcoming about her personal life, such as the fact that she doesn\u2019t believe in making her relationships public, telling fans, \u201cI personally made the decision seven years ago when I got into streaming that I don\u2019t want my personal life to be part of my content.\u201d She has also amassed her fair share of criticism from fans in the past, like when she was accused of \u201cclout chasing\u201d for using a VT model in her streams, whilst other users claimed that nobody watched her streams for her \u201cgameplay or personality\u201d. It is clear that the pressure that comes with being an internet personality, whether Twitch or TikTok, is insane. So, it\u2019s no surprise that Pokimane made the decision to take a break from streaming for mental health reasons last month. Pokimane\u2019s comments directed at Griffin Johnson? Many people have taken Pokimane comments to be a thinly-veiled response to TikTok star Griffin Johnson\u2019s diss track about Dixie D\u2019Amelio and new squeeze Noah Beck. Whilst Johnson never named D\u2019Amelio or Beck in the song, some of the allusions were clear. Clearly taking a swipe at D\u2019Amelio for alleging that he cheated on Twitter, one of the lines of the song included: \u201cShe said I cheated, that\u2019s just f*****d up, but you believed it, ain\u2019t that convenient.\u201d After the track dropped on September 2o, this led to D\u2019Amelio using the backing track to post a TikTok detailing even more cheating allegations against Johnson, with Hype House\u2019s Bryce Hall even weighing in to call out the Hype House\u2019s \u201cdisgusting habits\u201d and volatile response to the track. Johnson has seemingly backtracked, taking his track off streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, but it didn\u2019t stop the damage from being done, as the whirlpool of drama led to a lot of people commenting and, thus, setting a perfect example of what Pokimane was frustrated about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
