Pokimane ‘child-snatching’ joke: There has been a slight drama over Pokimane in the past couple of days. As one of the top streamers, a lot of fans come on her streams to watch her play games and talk about various stuff. In one of her past livestreams, Pokimane talked about how she realizes she is in her twenties because she finds little babies very cute. She jokingly commented that whenever she goes outside and finds little kids looking at her, she gets an urge to swoop them up and run when their parents are not looking.
