      She can get vindictive whenever someone famous disagrees with her rather shallow takes, because she can't brush them off as a "loser hater incel misogynist" and ends up using her fanbase to defend herself.
      Like Destiny suggested, I would rather Pokimane lean into that more combative personality rather than manufacturing an unnaturally positive one, because I feel like she might find it more rewarding to openly express herself instead of pretending to be someone she clearly isn't.

They don't feel like jokes, they feel like her real feelings masked with a laugh. Maybe she's just not naturally funny so it comes off weird, but she's not the first woman I've seen who makes "jokes" with a some venom.

    Jenna Marbles is a perfect example of a female creator/streamer who got pushback but rolled with it and continued to just "be a guy on the internet". She did a good job of ignoring or dishing back at people barking with fake outrage, apologizing if she felt she truly did wrong, but either way just moving forward with her insanely authentic and genuine persona. It served her very very well for a long time, but ultimately she ended up going a bit too far in the direction of catering to the people who were upset and rather than start to curate the type of image poki does, she decided to just walk away and step back from the limelight.

    • @somabalestra1131
      @somabalestra1131 8 месяцев назад +15

      You can't compare the two cause :
      A) Jenna is a RUclipsr. Female youtubers don't get as much dislike as female streamers on Twitch.
      B) Jenna is kind of a tomboy and Pokie is a girly girl. A tomboy is always seen as cool and less fake.

    • @ojaimark
      @ojaimark 8 месяцев назад +95

      ​@@somabalestra1131 Jenna also streamed on twitch. And she's not a tomboy. She's a homebody. There's a difference. Her success was built on videos that were all about makeup and shoes and bras and fake tanner. And that phase of her growth was precisely when she was getting the same kind of pushback that poki gets, she just handled it very differently. The biggest difference between the two really is that Jenna has always been explicitly comedic where poki has always been a more bland comfort streamer whose whole persona is just "nice". Being a funny person does give more wiggle room to dish back at the haters in a comedic or even self-deprecating way, but at the same time not having that wiggle room is a known risk of being one dimensionally nice as your whole image. If you box yourself in as the nice girl, the only tools you have at your disposal are nice girl tools. If you're image is real, you're allowed to be real when the rubber meets the road.

      "Jenna also streamed on twitch."
      She is more famous as a youtuber than as a Twitch streamer. Poki has a RUclips channel as well but is more known as a Twitch streamer.
      "And she's not a tomboy. She's a homebody. There's a difference. Her success was built on videos that were all about makeup and shoes and bras and fake tanner. "
      Her persona screamed early 2000s "I'm not like the other girls" . That's why she is liked. People in general find girl girls boring and women with similar personality as Jenna "interesting" cause she is more fun than the average girls. That's what I meant when I said "tomboy". It's similar to how people like Billie ilish cause she is "different". She has an edge. Notice that liked women like Jenna and Billie and kind of more masculine than the average woman. Poki is very feminine.

    The simple and true explanation about Poki is that her fame was pushed heavily by Twitch, she did have a gamer base way back when, but her actual content isnt as popular as twitch made her out to be. The reason Ludwig's RUclips video did better is that reason, she is manufactured which doesn't translate to outside Twitch. She also was around pre-streamer girl, bathtub streams blah blah she did in provide some of those young boys online "a gril" to watch.

Otherwise his mannerisms etc seem authentically him, like that just the way he is. Same with Destiny, he can be performative for example when he's debating but mostly it comes off as being his natural expression rather than feeling inauthentically performative. And dont give any of the "its nerves" bs for Poki. Thats not gonna fly. And then theres the hypocrisy which is a different story.

      It may be surprising to you, but while there may be a larger male audience for female streamers many men follow them because they do find them funny.

      It's one of the many facets of male dating advice that often puts people in between a rock and a hard place, because people tell you if you want to start a relationship with a woman then you need to become friends with her first, because that's often how their relationships started out, and it worked for them so why not anyone else? That line of thinking obviously has flaws because it doesn't apply to everyone because not everyone's situations are the same.
      Something that's often bothers me regarding these discussions though is how quick people are to assume the guy was using the girl as a means to an end to start a relationship. This does happen, but what about times where feelings develop overtime? How can you reliably tell the difference between someone who became friends with you and had ulterior motives the entire time, and someone who developed those feelings for you naturally and just so happened to be your friend, unless they tell you honestly that they did exactly that?

It's much more accurate to say that he authentically wanted to aid a streamer ally that had fallen into trouble because that's what he does. He's shown loyalty in the past to streamer friends who have run into difficulty (Valkyrae and RFLCT springs to mind). He's a gifted communicator, so he likes to lend his voice to help protect people that he's got as allies (which is probably a better word to use than "friend", because who knows if they're actually friends or not).
      It's Streamer 101 that when you get into heavy shit, all your friends and allies usually abandon you to face it alone. The fact that he was willing to touch a controversial topic to present a defense of Pokimane at the height of cancellation talk speaks to how sincere he was in trying to rally to her defense. That's the opposite of being "inauthentic". The fakest thing to do in that situation would be the very thing that everyone always does: just do nothing and remain silent while you watch your so-called "friend" drown.

    I’ve just never understood the sexism argument when it comes to Pokimane. There are relatively way larger female personalities in media that have less negativity shown towards them.
    There’s an argument for the effect the online space you inhabit might have on how you’re viewed, gaming being the one that comes to mind.
    However, when people have a problem with Pokimane, they don’t tend to refer to nebulous behaviours that are perceived differently when done by women, they refer to stuff like this and going after sponsors of creators.
    It was the same when Alinity was copystriking Pewdiepie. The shared factor is not that they’re both women, it’s that they were abusing power to impact another creator. Aba and Preach covered this same topic when it involved Fresh and fit and Pearl.
    It’s not unique to one sex, it’s the behaviours.
    Maybe, the criticism you get doing this stuff as a woman is magnified because of sexism, but that’s never the argument. It’s usually “any criticism is baseless and due to sexism”.
    I don’t know, but I can point to female creators in gaming that most people don’t have problems with. If they can manage it, why can’t others?

      Sexism exists, but it is certainly not the reason people want to hold her accountable for her actions. The sort of “anti-simp” crusaders are likely the same people buying into the Redpill, and of course they are misogynistic pile on at every instance of controversy. However, it is precisely because she markets herself as the sweet, personable girl streamer that people get so offended. It is the hints of passive-aggression, the subtle condescension, the selfishness that do not comport with the image she usually streams with.
      Overall, Pokimane calling people broke is such a non-problem, but it reflects poorly when the first response to criticism is calling people stupid and poor.

      The leap of girly-girl is succesful in male dominated space = hated is a huge leap without an explanation behind that as to why.
      WHY would a predominantly male user space dislike a “girly” twitch streamer. Why do we not see a proportionate level of hate for Emiru, a famous streamer, very girly, even more of a gamer these days than Poki likely exposing her to more of a male demographic.

The only problem is, it makes a yes man (or woman lol) echochamber for her, where she's never corrected on her behavior by anyone noteworthy to her, and so her semi-toxic behavior is always excused in the eyes of her friends
    Yes, lots of hate she gets is because of sexism. But just because 5 people dislike someone for bad reasons, doesn't illegitimize the other 5 people who dislike her for valid reasons. And thats her game, to paint the latter fiive as the former five and call it a day.

    I agree that the sexism angle doesn't hold water, not just because there are reasons for why she gets the response she gets (as opposed to so many other female streamers even "famous" ones) but also because this is her kneejerk response to all criticism and it always has been. She has two problems; 1. Her persona does not fit her actual personality, she either has to treat her brand (I.e. her persona) like a business and act professional (not good for streaming) or she has to change her persona, her actual personality is less traditionally marketable, she obviously wants some degree of mass appeal and that's okay, but that comes with sacrifices.
    2. She cannot handle criticism and lash out at anyone pretty much for even mild criticism, like "Your cookies are a bit expensive" too which her persona completely breaks down and her actual personality comes through, which unfortunately is entitled, sheltered and very far removed from the reality of a regular person and most importantly many of her own viewers, so she calls them poor and laughs at them when they tell her, her cookies are expensive.
    The reason she gets hate might actually just be because she puts herself in these situations and that's she's atleast nowhere *near* as wholesome and good as she portrays herself. Many people don't like fakes, and Pokimane comes off as fake. I personally don't think it has to be more difficult than that really

And where she pretends to be a really good and virtuous person, when in reality she's just doing and saying whatever she needs to in order to get more famous and earn more money. I realize this is what's going on and I don't even really follow her, so I can imagine that a lot of people get the same vibes from her. And the internet really does not like that, so they will start to strongly disapprove of her. I mean, the whole cookies thing is just one virtue signal attempt of many. Remember her going online without makeup and making that a big thing, after which she immediately went back to using tons of makeup again (like she always does).

    Pokimane strikes me as the fake nice type. Maybe in her mind she is genuinely trying her best but to me she seems like if you aren't the exact model of a perfect kind and censoring all language person she will try to smite you or try to make you doubt yourself. It may be a bias of the type of women I run into but the ludwig manufactured archetype tends to be much worse in women.
    Imo women do get a more narrow path in some spaces but it's usually not men giving them that at least in nerd or geek driven spaces.
    In more nerd spaces you'll hear "pick me" as a term often but men usually move on and find someone else. Women at least competing in the space will get put down by other women especially if the men get along with them and torn down for a simple human misstep like saying less than progressive words (r*ta*d, f-slur, etc) with friends or when having fun. I've been friends with a few and some of the hard working women that try will get shat on(but they still succeed cause they're male dominated spaces lul) mostly cause they're very pragmatic and try to push others to put in effort and are pretty open and honest. Then also the opposite type or girl whose very genuinely nice and meek get called fake or attention seeking but in actuality it's the ones doing the calling out that turn out to be very fake policing anyone and everyone while the nice meek girl seems to understand people vary and let alot of things slip by(even things they honestly shouldn't).
    Pokimane strikes me as the type who if she were starting now would try to sabatoge or misinterpret genuine people into something more twisted than they are.

    The answers is that she is more of a brand than a popular streamer, the content she makes is limited overall and also kinda "performative" more than other streamers that will do content on a daily baisis which makes them more relatable. My point is that most people dont know anything about Pokimane and only her façade and legitimatly assume thats all there is to it, so its doesnt feel wrong to attack a "brand" because she is not presenting herself as a person in the online space where other streamers even the one that can have some hate also have supports because they relatable.

    "just be gay and have women that are friends" actually the most based advice. If you ever are wondering why you can't get a girlfriend or why you don't have any women in your life, just try not trying to fuck them.
    I slept with the most women in my life when I was friends with a bunch of women I never slept or even flirted with. Just being in those social circles gives you access to so many more options. It's like levelling up your attack to to 20 in Runescape and now you can wield mithril daggers and swords and maces and shit. Having no female friends is like being stuck at level 1 and wondering why you can't wield any good melee weapons.

Sometimes you'll find charismatic entertaining women but that's definitely not the norm because women have that internalized realization that men give them far more attention for being beautiful or sexualized. Is this right? I don't know. But this is a function of society that men and women are both to blame for perpetuating as it currently is.

    Pokimane has the mentality of a person who became famous before she turned 20 and never had to work a day in her life so she is incredibly narcissistic.

    could you please make an easier delineation between the intro and start of the video. absolutely hate the "preview" intros so skip through but it is hard to figure out where to go

    When Poki first came out, a lot of her haters could be attributed to sexism. Past that though she’s acted in a lot of ways that get her hate that is justified. The sexism story would’ve worked some years ago but now there are people that are still mad at her over old shit that just see this as another mark on the totem pole.

    isnt the "your masculine traits make your feminine traits shine brighter" basically the reason why the big guy bigger heart archetype work so well?

    Pokies response was shit but the reactions are over dramatic and shouldn't have this much coverage like she committed a crime lol.
    Also half of the reactions are genuine, but anyone pretending the other half isn't pure "WAHMEN bad" you're just lost in the sauce.
