Pokimane has perfect response to troll\u2019s hateful donation message Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2018 Anys is one of Twitch\u2019s top content creators, boasting over 3.5 million followers \u2013 but online stardom isn\u2019t always a walk in the park, however nice it may seem. Like many live streaming platforms, Twitch allows viewers to support their favorite broadcasters by gifting bits, subscriptions, and even sending money through direct donations. Fans can also include a special message for the streamer alongside the cash, which is sometimes read out by a text-to-speech program, depending on the creator\u2019s style. 600https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3ftpOZlaRS\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkAnys uses one such program, which read out an unexpected and particularly hurtful donation message during her November 6 live stream. \u201cYou look beautiful today,\u201d the bot read. \u201cUsually, you look like shit.\u201d Despite the seemingly hateful content of the message, Pokimane seemed to find it hilarious, giving a good-natured laugh at the jab \u2013 which may have merely been the intent of a well-meaning troll. That wasn\u2019t the end of the trolling, though, with another user sending a five dollar donation shortly thereafter that included similar message to the streamer: \u201cYou look beautiful today and you usually look like shit.\u201d In imitation of the popular \u201cblinking white guy\u201d meme, Pokimane merely gave a few shocked blinks in response, breaking out into barely-contained laughter. \u201cThanks,\u201d she replied. \u201cI tried extra hard today. I brushed my teeth for longer than usual.\u201d She demonstrated this with an exaggerated smile. While the donators could have been merely joking, this wouldn\u2019t be the first time Pokimane has dealt with harassment from viewers. In fact, the streamer was called \u201cfat\u201d during a May 1 broadcast, after asking her chat if they noticed anything different about her appearance. Rather than raging about the insult, Pokimane took the comments in stride, laughing and putting her head in her hands before showing that she\u2019d bought a new necklace. As one of Twitch\u2019s top personalities, it makes sense that Anys would have developed a thick skin over the years, managing to brush off mean comments and even find the humor in otherwise tense moments from hateful critics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
