Valkyrae slams misogynistic hate after becoming 100 Thieves co-owner YouTube: 100 ThievesRachel \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has hit out at critics who claimed she only became a part-owner of esports org 100 Thieves because she is a woman. In a male-dominated industry, it\u2019s massively important to see female content creators thriving in streaming. Statistically, nobody has done this more so than Valkyrae, who recorded over 12 million hours watched in the first three months of 2021, overtaking Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys as the most-watched female streamer. In another key milestone in her success, Valkyrae became a co-owner of 100 Thieves \u2013 the brand she has been streaming under since 2018 \u2013 in April 2021. This presented a new way of imagining how esports teams could be structured, and this approach has been widely praised in the gaming community. But despite this insane level of success, Rae has still been forced to defend herself from misogynistic comments, the latest of which condescendingly attributed her stardom to her being a woman. After 100 Thieves published a video charting an incredible year for Rae, Hofstetter hit back at misogynistic criticism. \u201cTDLR; easiest way to become a co-owner of a multimillion $ company is to have tits,\u201d the comment allegedly said.

Valkyrae\u2019s popularity with fans has led to her becoming the definitive \u201cQueen of YouTube\u201c, and you wouldn\u2019t bank on misogynistic hate getting in the way of her inevitable future success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
