Many streamers make millions from the comfort of their own homes while some are international celebrities thanks to their streams.

One such star is Canadian-Moroccan star Pokimane. The 24-year-old is known for streaming games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, Valorant, Minecraft and Among Us.

Pokimane, real name Imane Anys, also has over five million subscribers on YouTube and her popularity is still growing.

However, as is the case with social media, female content creators and streamers are subject to some rather vile comments.

It all started with Pokimane deciding on not wearing any make up on a stream. This caught out many as she didn’t look exactly like how she did in most of her streams.

That was enough for some to hit out at the streamer but Poki wasn’t having any of that.
