Pokimane Sheds Light on the Struggles of Female Streamers Voicing Their Thoughts

Recently, Pokimane has been at the epicenter of drama going on in the live-streaming world. It all started when she declined to join any other streaming platform for lucrative offers. However, critics took her comments as a way to take shots at xQc and his $100 million deal with Kick. But Pokimane recently came out and cleared it was not about xQc at all.

Now the female streamer has come forward to share her struggles with the backlash she faced. The streamer also commented on how hard it is for other female streamers to give out honest opinions in the wake of hate going around.

Pokimane talks about female streamers facing backlash from the critics

In her latest stream on Twitch, Pokimane’s eyes caught a comment in the chat. The comment read, “You need more women around you Poki who are willing to talk.” After this comment, Pokimane was quick to share her views and talked about the “sad truth” of being a female streamer. She is currently the most-followed female streamer on Twitch. However, it still does not shield her from all the backlash. Poki feels it affects the other female streamers on this platform too.

“The way that people treat me deters any other women in this space from genuinely talking about their honest opinions,” she said, “Or behaving probably how they want to because they recognize the treatment they can expect.” She was more concerned about the small streamers on Twitch. She further went on to share an encounter with a fellow female streamer. The fellow streamer shared how she was afraid of opinions due to Pokimane facing so much criticism in the past.
