Recently, Pokimane posted on Twitter explaining how men have it ‘easy’ in the online streaming industry. She exclaims that while male streamers are given leeway and allowed to make mistakes, female streamers are judged fiercely, and do not have the same liberty.

Moreover, in the past, notable Content creators and YouTubers have mocked her, and her fans. Just last month, YouTuber Keemstar accused her of pretending to not have a boyfriend so that ‘lonely guys’ would continue donating money to her stream. You can see his tweet below.

Imagine having a boyfriend but acting like you single online so sad lonely guys donate money to your twitch stream. That’s so fake & pathetic!

The aforementioned tweet was directed as a response towards people who suggest that she isn’t popular due to her content, but only because of how she looks. Regardless, users on Twitter were quick to say otherwise, with the exception of her loyal fanbase who showered the streamer with support and appreciation.

However, a few days ago, popular YouTuber and streamer PayMoneyWubby reacted to the above tweet by muttering the insult “OK Reta*d”.

Further, she stated that he is not blind to the ways in which 'being a girl' has benefitted her in some ways, but that doesn’t mean her entire success solely based upon her gender.
