xQc Criticizes “Misogynistic” Twitch Viewers Attacking Pokimane

During one of xQc’s recent live broadcast on twitch, he launched into the epic rant when the topic of female streamers’ viewership numbers was brought up as he called out the haters of his fellow Twitch streamer Imane Anys aka Pokimane for being “legitimate misogynists.” He stated during the stream; “There’re a lot of successful women out there. There’s a good handful of them. And they show a lot of good incentive, and they have a lot of good content. And legitimate misogynists will say, ‘No, they have bad content’…. ‘Nah bro, she’s only growing because of x, y, and z’.”

Then he further continued to mock those who say this, before noting that the numbers Pokimane and other female streamers are bringing in speak for themselves. He added; “All the people that watch and the millions of followers that they have disagree with your stupid a** take,” The clip of him while ranting on his stream quickly went viral on r/LivestreamFail and social media, and it even caught the attention of Pokimane.

Because of this, Pokimane herself reacted to the segment a week later on her YouTube account and broke into laughter before thanking him for his passionate defense. She stated; “Thanks X, you’re a real one. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself on an LSF post with xQc saying something nice about me, and most of the top comments also saying something nice about me. I slept really well last night, let’s just say that”. Pokimane added that xQc’s rant was a breath of fresh air due to the countless streamers who will say bad things about her to farm viewers. She also pointed out the fact that xQc had to say all of this in the first place is a reminder that female streamers have to deal with a lot of additional nonsense on top of all the other nonsense that comes with being a popular streamer.
