Pokimane Begs Twitch Users To Stop Sending Her ‘Gross’ Messages
As one of the biggest content creators out there Imane "Pokimane" Anys is no stranger to receiving unwanted attention from her fans. Known for her popular streams on games like Fortnite, League of Legends, and Among Us, Pokimane also offers general life advice and more general streams on her Twitch channel. Earning the honour of being the most-subbed woman on Twitch can come with its downsides though.
In her latest stream, Pokimane has a relatively simple request for her massive following - please stop sending her "gross" messages. Pokimane is used to odd messages during her streams, however, it seems even the #MeToo movement hasn't stopped women from being harassed online. Revealing some of the messages she's recently received, Anys has told the internet to stop. While it's unlikely she'll ever get them to completely stop, she's doing her best to ask nicely.
Who is sending Pokimane gross messages?
Last month, Pokimane gave us an insight into the weird unban requests she receives, but now, she's back with an "unfiltered" version. Opening the video, Anys explained, "Prior to looking at unbanned forms, I have my mods go through them and kind of remove the ones that are really bad. But today, I’m going to YOLO and just show you guys everything". The stream didn't hold back as Anys really did show us all. Although she managed to laugh most of them off, it was still a shocking stream.
In one incident, Pokimane asked, "What compelled you to one minute say that I suck, and then the next minute, talk about my breasticles. Then the next minute, ask to see my breasticles on stream?". This was relatively tame compared to some requests and comments. There were plenty of requests for her to "pop a t*tty for the boys". She reiterated, "Boys, popping a t*tty crosses the line, so I'm sorry, it's gonna be a no for me". The usual response is someone claiming they've been "dared" by a friend, but for Pokimane, that's simply not good enough.
What other gross messages does Pokimane get?
More extreme comments include one fan saying, "You're just so cute, I couldn't help myself from asking you to bend over". One of the weirdest simply said, "F***y f***y, sucky sucky", alongside other more X-rated ones about bodily fluids. Finally, there was one Anys had to translate from Danish, which read, "You naughty wh*re, I may well f**k you”. The 18-minute video was inundated with the unusual to the offensive, showing just what Pokimane and her mods have to go through on a daily basis.
Anys concluded by saying, "In the past, it was just me reading this sh*t, day in and day out. At least now, I can turn it into content, and we can all laugh a little bit. So, at least I finally get something out of it". She concluded by giving followers a second chance. Pokimane rounded off by saying, "I need to deny, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change, that doesn’t mean you can’t chat in my stream. It just means you’re going to need to make a new account". Hopefully, some will learn from Pokimane's latest video, but something tells us, it'll be in one ear, out the other.
