Valkyrae hits out at \u201cterrible\u201d fans for shipping her with Dream YouTube: Valkyrae, DreamMassively popular YouTube streamer Valkyrae has hit out at fans for \u201cshipping\u201d her with fellow YouTuber Dream after a donator left a concerning message about the situation in Pokimane\u2019s Twitch chat. In 2020, 29-year-old Rachel \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter was awarded Content Creator of the Year, having amassed a jaw-dropping 23.6 million hours watched on her channel by fans \u2014 as well as an impressive growth of over 7,304%. With this in mind, it comes as little surprise that Rae boasts a huge fanbase and often interacts with other content creators, but living in the internet limelight isn\u2019t always sunshine and roses. Between dealing with harassment from stalkers and combatting a severely toxic chat during Rust streams with other broadcasters, Rae has, unfortunately, seen the best and worst sides of online fame \u2014 but sometimes, certain situations can get weirder than others. During a February Valorant broadcast, fellow Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys alerted Valkyrae to an especially odd donation from a viewer that left her feeling completely grossed out. \u201cBy the way, Rae, someone donated to me to tell you that your username is like, your ship name with Dream,\u201d Poki explained, referencing the 21-year-old Minecraft YouTuber of the same name. \u201cThat\u2019s the worst thing I ever heard!\u201d creator Michael Reeves chimed in. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not!\u201d Valkyrae objected before breaking out into shocked laugher. \u201cThat\u2019s terrible! I\u2019m almost thirty! Shut the f**k up! Are you kidding me? That\u2019s a terrible, terrible thing to say!\u201d While this is far from the first time creators have been \u201cshipped\u201d with one another \u2014 meaning that fans will \u201cpair\u201d them together for a proposed romantic relationship \u2014 it seems that this suggestion sent Valkyrae over the edge due to their eight-year age difference. \u201cOkay, now donate to me and say the same thing!\u201d Valkyrae joked. The interaction, thus far, has prompted quite the conversation among fans as to how that idea ever came about, with many noting that Rae and Dream barely interact, at all. However, there\u2019s no denying that Rae is not into the suggestion, whatsoever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
