Pokimane pokes fun at fans who expect to date her because of donations and subs Pokimane \/ TwitchPopular streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys mocked fans who think they are deserving of something in return for their donations and subscriptions to streamers, a problem faced by streamers of all sizes. Particularly an issue for female streamers, although not exclusively, viewers who deem themselves particularly loyal and generous (with donations and subscriptions), can sometimes expect elevated levels of reciprocity from the streamer. Female streamers are often bothered with viewers who think that a romantic interaction may possible \u2013 or even expected \u2013 due to their \u2018loyalty\u2019 or generosity. Pokimane, as one of the most popular female streamers, is no stranger to this, and has even been targeted by young fans which she has met playing games with online and over the stream. During a broadcast alongside fellow streamer \u2018Greekgodx\u2019, Pokimane poked fun at those viewers who expect the potential for romance and affection due to their donations and subscriptions. After Greek sarcastically \u2018freindzoned\u2019 her, Pokimane imitated a \u2018loyal\u2019 fan. \u201cBut I donated you $5,000 over the last six months. I can\u2019t believe you I\u2019ve been a tier three patreon sub for seven years!\u201d Pokimane retorts sarcastically. \u201cI\u2019ve been modded three months, do you know how many times I\u2019ve watched your stream, do you know how many people I\u2019ve banned!?\u201d Greek said that Pokimane was clearly doing an impression of an experience she must be familiar with, but she explains how she has managed to avoid those kind of interactions. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason why I never give people my contact information\u201d, Pokimane explains, \u201cI ain\u2019t going to add you on Discord, I ain\u2019t going to follow you on Twitter. Nothing.\u201d 400Other female streamers however certainly have faced these issues. Another popular streamer, Amouranth, had to deal with backlash after viewers were angry to discover she was married. Discussing the controversy, Amouranth (sarcastically) said \u201cHaven\u2019t you heard the news? Every female on the internet is eligible to be dated by people who see her. She\u2019s an eligible candidate for every person who sees her\u201d \u2013 referring to viewers who expected the possibility of dating her due to being loyal fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
