Pokimane thinks Trainwreckstv should simply acknowledge the perspective of people who are against him. At the moment, he’s more focused on defending himself and not on the reasons due to which people are criticizing him.
“I think sometimes that makes you wanna go f*** it! You guys think I’m so bad, I will be the villain!” said Pokimane.
She further added, “I just wish I could tell him, like, I don’t even think people want to hate him, or want to hate on him. I think they just want to hear him acknowledge the other side of a take. Like if he just said I understand all the negatives of gambling, or whatever, but I just decide it’s worthwhile for me. I think people will respect that a lot more.”
