Valkyrae explains why she blocked \u201clike a million\u201d of her viewers live on YouTube YouTube streaming star Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has explained why she handed out a lot of bans to viewers while she was watching a true crime documentary. Valkyrae is one of the biggest streamers on YouTube, boasting an enormous fanbase. Naturally, that translates to a lot of active participants in the chat. During a recent livestream, Valkyrae was watching a true crime documentary. As she watched the video, she commented \u201cIt\u2019s not all men, but\u2026\u201d in reaction to assaults mentioned in the video. The comment prompted a wave of messages attacking Rachell and her stance. At this point, Valkyrae began to personally sort the chat for inappropriate comments, banning a significant number of viewers who she deemed to have made aggressive or vitriolic statements. Valkyrae blocks users attacking her The 100 Thieves co-owner explained herself shortly after, ridiculing how defensive certain type of chatters became. \u201cI banned like a milion people. It was easy. All I had to say is that one little comment, about \u2018it\u2019s not all men\u2019,\u201d said Valkyrae. \u201cDon\u2019t bat a blind eye and pretend like it\u2019s 50\/50. Men can be r**ed too, mhm, men can also be kidnapped, mhm, yes. Obviously it goes both ways. That wasn\u2019t the point.\u201d Some commenters support Valkyrae in her decision. \u201cWell if you are p*ssed by what she is talking about then she is exactly talking about you,\u201d says one user. Others were disappointed, suggesting she banned people simply for disagreeing. One claimed: \u201cshe is banning people that she doesn\u2019t like\u201d. Valkyrae is no stranger to hostile interactions with online communities though. She revealed lately that she dropped GTA Roleplay as a result of \u201cscary crazy\u201d fans harassing her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
