On January 12, Pokimane was forced to end her Twitch stream after hate comments being showered by Jidion. Other streamers rushed to her defence, including xQc.
Jidion states his disdain has nothing to do with gender bias. Although, Rae has her own reasons to believe that there was another motivation behind it – clout and viewership. She also thinks this is the core reason why Poki always gets dragged into drama.

Rae also shed light with her personal opinion on the incident about how horrible this kind of blatant harassment is.”The whole Poki thing that happened is so depressing,” said Rae. “I feel so bad for her. The worst part is that this dude just entirely benefits from such controversies. I can’t stop wondering about how it works like that.
unfortunate how a creator who’s content involves harassment/hatred ultimately gives them the attention/exposure they want at the expense of others. misogyny in this industry is not new & obviously not ok.
nothing but love & respect for poki + everybody speaking out against it♥️

“There is no one that goes through as much drama as she does because of the position that she is in. Because she is the number one female streamer in the world, she goes through this stuff because people just use her for clout.”
According to Rae, she thinks that content creators somehow try to mention Poki’s name in a video title to increase their viewership. “People just use her for views, and blatantly. It’s crazy! It just baffles my mind what people will do for clout and success.”
Rae also said she’s in “awe” of how tactfully Poki handles and responds to drama , describing her as “so well-spoken.”
