Pokimane is considered one of the most popular figures within the streaming scene. Despite enjoying a widespread following, she has also attracted some controversy.<\/p>\n<p>During the podcast, the streamer expressed how some female streamers will curate their broadcast to hate on her for some views. She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will see other female streamers, no one that I know personally or that&#8217;s really popular, just random female streamers that start promoting their streams by putting me down. I will literally see tweets of people being like, &#8216;Come watch my stream, I&#8217;m nothing like that b-word Pokimane&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>&#8220;I just look at that stuff in shock&#8221; &#8211; Pokimane expresses her views regarding female streamers who try to put her down<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/streamers\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"pick me girls &amp; muzzling pokimane | ep 27 | Sweet n&#039; Sour\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kalxD5FYFE4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"kalxD5FYFE4\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/kalxD5FYFE4\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/kalxD5FYFE4\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>(Timestamp: 00:12:24)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/streamers\/news-is-pokimane-relationship-streamer-breaks-silence-moving-new-roommate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Twitch streamer Pokimane<\/a> went on to explain that she has witnessed female streamers attempting to speak negatively about her as a way to stir controversy and attract viewers to their own broadcasts. However, she questioned whether that was truly the kind of community they wanted to cultivate:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just look at that stuff in shock because hey, maybe that gets you a few more viewers for the night, but on the other hand, is that really the community that you want to build?
