Pokimane shocked by random Fortnite teammate\u2019s emotional life story Pokimane, YouTubeImane \u201cPokimane\u201d Anys is one of Twitch\u2019s biggest streaming stars, known for her videos teaming up with random players in Fortnite \u2014 but one of these usually humorous encounters took a concerning turn in mid-March. Pokimane generally teams up with random users in Fortnite\u2019s Duo Fill, who are often floored that they\u2019re playing with such a popular online personality. However, Anys switched things up a bit during a March broadcast, instead opting to create a new account using a different name so that fellow players wouldn\u2019t know they were throwing down with a famous Twitch streamer. Although many of her encounters using her new moniker, \u201cI am Chad,\u201d resulted in hilarious conversations, one of her interactions with a young player ended in a concerning and somewhat saddening tale. Pokimane was in the middle of her undercover experiment when she encountered a 15-year-old player named \u201cSam,\u201d who she quizzed about what he wanted to be when he grows up. Sam admitted that he wanted to be a psychologist \u2014 but his reasonings for the profession were far from the usual. \u201cI\u2019ve been having bad problems with depression and anxiety since my parents got divorced,\u201d he admitted. \u201cSo I\u2019ve been having to switch schools. It\u2019s just horrible.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s a lot to go through at once,\u201d Anys sympathized. \u201cEven just switching schools is a lot of pressure.\u201d That\u2019s not all: the young player revealed that his mother had mistreated him and his family by threatening to leave them to return to her home in South Africa. \u201cI don\u2019t like playing with people\u2019s feelings, because I know it sucks,\u201d he said after Poki joked about him having a girlfriend. \u201cMy mom was kinda like that. She was horrible. She\u2019s from South Africa. Before my parents got divorced, she always threatened to go back and leave us.\u201d \u201cOh my god, I\u2019m so sorry to hear that,\u201d the streamer replied. \u201cIt\u2019s alright,\u201d Sam continued. \u201cI\u2019m used to it.\u201d (Topic begins at 9:36 for mobile readers) Pokimane ended their session by revealing who she really was, and complimented the youngster for being so polite, giving an uplifting end to a heartbreaking story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
