Pokimane Responds To Those Demanding She Be Banned From Twitch After Showing Porn On A Livestream

Imane “Pokimane” Anys is one of the most popular and consistent female streamers on Twitch. Pokimane accidentally showed pornography content during a stream; she has over 4.8 million followers on Twitch. She opened a browser tab with a paused PornHub video during her stream on May 19, 2020.

Since the incident, some who had watched the stream have called for Pokimane to be suspended from the platform. Scarce, who runs a YouTube news channel, suggested that if Pokimane doesn’t get banned for this, then no one else should get banned from Twitch for nudity. However, Pokimane said that if she were to get banned, she would “understand.”

She further explained that, since it wasn’t a regular occurrence, it shouldn’t be enough to warrant a suspension or ban. Regarding the accusation of double standards, Pokimane dismissed the idea, pointing out a male streamer who recently found himself in a similar situation, and was also spared from any form of punishment.
