Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is Twitch\u2019s most-followed female broadcaster. Although she\u2019s endured her fair share of backlash in the past \u2014 whether it be for going without makeup on a stream or creating her own VTuber avatar \u2014 the latest outrage against her is sparking a massive debate online. Most recently, Pokimane levied harsh criticisms toward Kick, taking issue with the site being funded by Stake, a gambling platform. Poki has been staunchly outspoken against the promotion of gambling on streaming sites in the past, being one of the major streamers who protested its presence on Twitch during the site\u2019s gambling \u2018dramageddon\u2019 in 2022. Pokimane opens up on \u201csad truth\u201d female streamers face for speaking their mind amid backlash over Kick opinion However, the streamer feels she\u2019s been attacked unfairly as a result of her opinion, with many users across social media \u2014 and even fellow streamers \u2014 taking issue with her stance in a way that has been labeled sexist and misogynistic by her supporters. Pokimane seemingly addressed the backlash in a June 26 broadcast, where she opened up about the \u201csad truth\u201d of being a female streamer. \u201cYou know what the sad truth is?\u201d she began. \u201cThe way that people treat me deters any other woman in the space from genuinely talking about their honest opinions or behaving how they probably really want to, because they recognize the treatment that they can expect.\u201d \u201cI will never forget one time, I had a girl come up to me, and she was like, \u2018Oh, I stream sometimes.\u2019 She basically said, \u2018I\u2019m way too scared to stream without makeup, because I saw what people did to you.\u2019 I was like, that\u2019s so f*cking sad.\u201d Pokimane has come under fire from viewers and other creators alike during this time, with OnlyFans star and streamer Corinna Kopf calling her \u201cself-righteous\u201d due to her statement about not \u201ccompromising her morals and ethics\u201d in regards to possibly joining Kick. Whatever the case may be, it\u2019s clear that Pokimane\u2019s opinion on the matter has stirred up quite the debate as the platform eyes more and more top creators to compete with Twitch \u2014 even vying for a possible deal with Poki, herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
