Follow Us
Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys has had quite an eventful week, starting from the DMCA doomsday. But things actually spiraled out-of-control yesterday, on January 13, 2022, when JiDion (Twitch account jidionpremium) decided to hate raid Pokimane during her live stream.
Following his immediate ban from the streaming platform, Twitch, JiDion, and his fans decided to take things to Twitter, leaving Pokimane with no choice but to privatize her Twitter handle. Now, popular streamers and friends of Pokimane, such as 100 Thieves Co-Owner Valkyrae, have come to the OfflineTV star’s support and to make people aware of the true story.
unfortunate how a creator who’s content involves harassment/hatred ultimately gives them the attention/exposure they want at the expense of others. misogyny in this industry is not new & obviously not ok.
nothing but love & respect for poki + everybody speaking out against it♥️

— Toast (@DisguisedToast) January 13, 2022
Imane’s fellow OfflineTV colleague and close friend, Disguised Toast, also took to Twitter to point out what’s wrong with some sections of society. Toast and Valkyrae both point out the blatantly sexist and misogynistic remarks.
Sad how Pokimane still has to deal with misogyny and harassment in 2022.
And It's even more sad how I have to say this publicly because people are afraid to stand up and say she's being treated poorly because they'll be called a "simp"
— Mizkif (@REALMizkif) January 13, 2022
The self-proclaimed “Juggernaut of Twitch,” Mizkif and popular streamer Jacksepticeye, also shared their utter disbelief about the current situation.
In this household we respect strong, successful women.
The amount of harassment they have to go through online for just simply existing is crazy.— Jacksepticeye (@Jacksepticeye) January 13, 2022
Twitch partner and streamer, Peter Park, also called out the outrageous habits of certain content creators. And also stated, such creators “don’t deserve a platform.”
Fucking wild that being against misogyny can still generate so much controversy
If you’re a “content” creator who’s identity revolves around harassment and hatred, you’re disgusting and don’t deserve a platform
Anyway stan @pokimanelol, I’m a simp, L + ratio + 0 viewers etc
— Peter Park (@peterparkTV) January 13, 2022
Other streamers such, LilyPichu and QTCinderalla also spoke out on the unbelievable situation, with the latter clearly displaying support for Pokimane on her Twitter account.
