Valkyrae hits out at fans for \u201ccreepy\u201d shipping of her and friends YT: ValkyraeYouTube streamer and 100 Thieves co-owner Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has hit out at fans for their \u201ccreepy\u201d shipping of her and male friends, explaining that it makes her uncomfortable. Valkyrae is one of the most successful streamers on the planet. Not only is she a co-owner and content creator for Nadeshot\u2019s 100 Thieves esports organization, she has also been YouTube\u2019s most-watched female streamer for a number of years in a row. A May 7 broadcast saw the YouTube star grabbing some mukbang with friends, but the stream was apparently overshadowed by comments viewers made as they watched Hofstetter interact with male acquaintances. Valkyrae called out the comments shortly after the stream ended, stating that they make her and friends feel \u201cuncomfortable\u201d and they equate to \u201cinsanity.\u201d \u201cPlease stop shipping me with friends,\u201d she said on her alt Twitter account. \u201cIt\u2019s really uncomfortable & creepy. Literally EVERY guy friend I interact with comes with some random anonymous accounts making not only the worst\/wildest assumptions but they get mad when I\u2019m not interacting with their \u201cfavorite\u201d. Insanity.\u201d Not only do the accusations start false rumors, but they also turn toxic if Valkyrae acts in a way not compatible with viewer assumptions. https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsraechill\/status\/1523158722926710784?s=21&t=xRzie8p-HFW0HLx8m6RLuA It\u2019s not the first time Valkyrae has had to call on fans to stop inappropriately shipping her with another member of the gaming community. Back in early 2021, she criticized fans for shipping her with Minecraft creator Dream, calling it \u201cterrible\u201d. We\u2019ve also seen similar controversies with male streamers, most notably when Ninja stated he would not stream with other women out of respect for his wife. Some stood by the Fortnite star but others suggested his stance was sexist. Here\u2019s hoping that, moving forwards, fans can just enjoy streamers\u2019 interactions with their friends for what they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
