Pokimane under fire after blasting sponsor of anti \u201csimp\u201d YouTuber Instagram\/Pokimane\/YouTube\/It’sAGundamTwitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is getting called out by many content creators after she attacked the sponsor of YouTuber \u2018It\u2019sAGundam\u2019 for making a video criticizing \u201csimps.\u201d It\u2019sAGundam is known for making videos critical of modern online culture, such as \u201csimping.\u201d The term \u201csimp\u201d popularly refers to men who overvalue women and do or say things they may not agree with because they believe a woman would want them to do so. On May 13, It\u2019sAGundam uploaded a video titled \u201cSimp willingly goes homeless for Pokimane,\u201d which features comments made by Twitter users about donating outrageous sums of money to the Twitch streamer. In the video, he specifically takes aim at a user on Twitter who claimed to have donated $1,000 to Anys, despite being four months behind on his rent among others who appear to fawn over the streamer. Eventually, on May 16, Pokimane watched the video during her stream and blasted the YouTuber and his sponsor, Ridge Wallet. \u201cI can\u2019t believe anyone would sponsor these shenanigans,\u201d she said. \u201cLike what?\u201d \u201cAnd I will say, for this company to sponsor a video that\u2019s literally 20 minutes of talking sh*t about me\u2026\u201d Pokimane paused, clearly fuming over the content of the video. \u201cYou will never see\u2026 if you ever reach out to me, if I ever see you in my inbox.\u201d Anys then crossed her arms forming an \u201cX\u201d and stated, \u201con sight\u201d jokingly suggesting she\u2019d either delete or block the company right away. https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoshPescatore\/status\/1261816716000202752 \u201cLike, no company should do that just about ever. \u2018Oh, is this a video where some random dude behind a VR machine calls a girl a th*t for twenty minutes? Really want to put my logo on that one!\u2019\u201d she mocked. Since blasting It\u2019sAGundam\u2019s sponsors, Poki has come under fire from users critical of her stance across social media. \u201cThe video is comedic and satirical, but it offended Poki so much that she calls out the sponsor of the video,\u201d Josh Pescatore raged. \u201cI am all for creators talking sh*t on other creators, but why go after advertisers?\u201d he asked, and added that it was \u201clame AF\u201d for a millionaire to go after a YouTuber\u2019s sponsor during the ongoing global issues. Pokimane will never learn. Her ego is too strong pic.twitter.com\/OcNUJNbgyW \u2014 Josh (@Bowblax) May 18, 2020 Bowblax, who has had his own issues with Pokimane over copyright strikes, claimed that if it wasn\u2019t for her prior controversy with him, she would have attempted to take down It\u2019sAGundam\u2019s video. Pokimane hasn\u2019t responded to the controversy further, and it\u2019s unclear if her comments have affected the relationship between the YouTuber and his sponsor.
