Pokimane slams Alinity for \u201cmessed up\u201d cat abuse after clips go viral Twitch: Pokimane\/AlinityPopular Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys was left in shock after watching two now-viral clips of fellow streamer Alinity Divine, which have been widely criticized as animal abuse. On a July 18 stream, Alinity was playing Apex Legends when her cat, Milo, seemingly got in the way of her ability to play, and she responded by simply throwing the cat up over her head, and out of shot. This has since been paired with a clip from around a year ago, which shows Alinity spitting vodka into another cat\u2019s mouth. The two incidents have led to widespread criticism online, including from animal welfare charity PETA and British comedian Ricky Gervais. 600Now, though, Twitch\u2019s most popular female creator, Pokimane, has weighed in on the issue, and it\u2019s fair to say she is not impressed with fellow streamer\u2019s behaviour. On July 19, with the community still in uproar over Alinity\u2019s behaviour, Pokimane reviewed the clips after being encouraged by her viewers. A cat owner herself, Pokimane couldn\u2019t believe what she was watching: \u201cShe did deadass yeet the cat. That\u2019s messed up! Especially because you can\u2019t see what\u2019s around her. Like if I picked Mimi up, and I tossed her to the side here, she would land on my bed\u2026 but also I wouldn\u2019t overhand yeet her, that\u2019s a little bit much.\u201d She then followed the Twitter thread to the aforementioned clip of Alinity spitting vodka into her cat\u2019s mouth, which provoked Ricky Gervais to say that there are \u201cso many stupid people in the world\u201d. After spitting the vodka into the cat\u2019s mouth, Alinity begins to laugh, but Pokimane definitely didn\u2019t see the funny side. \u201cOh my god!\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cOh my god, that poor cat. Sorry like, I have a Mimi so this shit \u2013 seeing a cat freak out like this! Aw, poor honey! And she tries to play it off as \u2018oh haha you see it\u2019s vodka?\u2019 But deep down she knows it\u2019s pretty messed up.\u201d Given the backlash, Alinity made a public apology on Twitter on July 19, but many members of the Twitch community, and beyond, were unforgiving, and argued that she deserves a ban from the platform. While Pokimane is rarely a controversial figure, it seems Alinity cannot keep out of viewers\u2019 bad books, as she once again stirs up controversy with her on-stream actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
