Pokimane slams Dafran\u2019s \u2018sexist\u2019 reaction to Sinatraa abuse allegations Sentinels\/Instagram\/pokimanelol\/BlizzardPopular Twitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys blasted fellow streamer and former Overwatch League star Daniel \u2018Dafran\u2019 Francesca for what she viewed as a sexist take on the allegations facing Valorant pro Jay \u2018Sinatraa\u2019 Won. As Dexerto reported, on March 9, Sinatraa\u2019s ex-girlfriend Cleo \u2018cle0h\u2019 Hernandez posted a document where she alleged that the Sentinels player was sexually abusive in their relationship. Dafran, being a former teammate of Sinatraa\u2019s during their time on the Overwatch team Selfless, was extremely vocal in his defense of the 2019 OWL MVP. In a series of controversial tweets, Dafran wrote that, \u201cE-girls can be f***ing scary as a Twitch streamer. They will try to jebait or photoshop evidence and then f*** you. I\u2019m not saying she is one, but she could be.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/dafran\/status\/1369563442319925251 After facing backlash for his remarks, he doubled down and followed up by writing, \u201cHow is it fair that someone can scream r*pe at a public figure and everyone bandwagons without question? The public is gaining too much power, the world is f**ked.\u201d Francesca\u2019s comments quickly spread, with Pokimane addressing his remarks live on air. At first, she had no idea that Dafran was an actual streamer with a sizable following and believed him to just be an internet troll. Pokimane responds to Dafran\u2019s remarks \u201cI have been in this industry for so long that I\u2019m desensitized to a lot of the bulls**t. However, and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt real hard, but something you cannot gloss over is as hard as he\u2019s trying to make his perspective seem logical, he\u2019s ignoring the fact that he ultimately based this off of her gender,\u201d she stated after reading the Danish streamer\u2019s tweets. \u201cHe\u2019s not saying \u2018be careful of who you believe on the internet,\u2019 he\u2019s specifically saying she is a girl therefore be careful because they will trick you,\u201d she added. \u201cLike we are in a fantasy erotica and all the women around us are succubi.\u201d Anys continued her attack on Dafran, commenting that while she thinks he tried to be \u201cskeptical\u201d and \u201clogical,\u201d he only has this perspective because the accuser was female. \u201cI can promise you as a girl who\u2019s been in this scene for years, this is just another reflection of the fact that we are rarely ever given the benefit of the doubt,\u201d she insisted. \u201cWe have to work so hard to even be half as credible as someone simply because of what\u2019s between our legs. And that\u2019s crazy.\u201d Dafran responds to Pokimane During his own stream, Dafran responded to Pokimane\u2019s comments, making his Twitch title: \u201cI stand by everything I said on Twitter\u2026 and no I\u2019m not sexist like this Pokimane human says.\u201d \u201cPokimane calling me a sexist, I don\u2019t give a f**k. Get f**ked, dude. Doesn\u2019t change my opinion,\u201d he said on stream. \u201cJust because they have 60,000 viewers or whatever doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re right.\u201d \u201cThe world is f**ked if it keeps going like this where we just instantly believe the girl with their accusations. Like, it\u2019s just f**ked up. We need both sides,\u201d he concluded, ending his broadcast. Riot Games and Sentinels suspended Sinatraa, preventing him from playing in the Valorant Stage 1 Masters as they investigate the allegations. Additionally, the Overwatch League is refunding OWL Tokens to players who purchased his MVP Alien Zarya skin. Blizzard will also be removing MVP badges from the skin in a future patch. Won himself commented on the allegations on March 10 where he denied ever assaulting his ex-girlfriend. He further added that he was cooperating with the investigations. Cloud9\u2019s Tyson \u2018TenZ\u2019 Ngo will be replacing Sinatraa in the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour Masters 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
