In her recent stream, Pokimane went through the fan’s tweets and reacted to them. Given her fearless personality, she’s always supporting fellow streamers. But that wasn’t enough this time, as she mentioned her disappointment as the video opened. In her opening reaction, she said, “I have been so disappointed in people’s reactions to something just to show you like many people are like question mark, question mark.

Notably, the highlight of the broadcast was where she replied to a comment saying, “It’s been 10 years of Lily making league content and it was just so upsetting. I think I’ve heard of Lily does she stream primarily League content? Lily is literally one of the only people who has gone more mainstream and has played so many different games and still always comes back to play league.” This truly shows the kind of supportive personality Imane has for her.
