IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat have taken the streaming world by storm, rising to the top of Twitch and becoming overnight global internet stars. However, their success hasn’t been without controversy, with several streamers voicing their disagreements, most recently, Pokimane being one of them.
Pokimane recently voiced her concerns about the streaming scene becoming increasingly male-dominated, pointing out the lack of female streamers on the same level as Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed. Her comments generated mixed reactions online, with some users supporting her stance while others argued that success in streaming isn’t about gender.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
Many users found Pokimane’s comment to be quite amusing. Let’s take a look at some of their most hilarious reactions!
Duh? (via @opperating / X)
Wait a minute, wasn’t Ironmouse the highest-subscribed female streamer on the platform and even able to surpass Kai Cenat and Speed’s numbers last year? Looks like this user just debunked Pokimane’s concern in only two words!
Pulling the old trick (via @suayrez / X)
Hmm, could Pokimane be pulling an age-old trick, as this user suggests - calling out the top names in the game so that she gets included in the conversation with them? Smooth move!
Confidence is key (via @qtcinderella / X)
Aww man, this user was on a roll - aiming for a Kai Cenat-style blow-up by asking people to invest in her and follow her journey to becoming not just the biggest female streamer, but the biggest streamer in the world. But just as quickly, she hilariously admitted that she might let everyone down!
Here's why (via @InternetH0F / X)
Perhaps Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed’s success comes from their marathon streams, global tours, and high-energy content - not from selling overpriced cookies like Pokimane, as this user suggests. Ouch!
30 is almost here (via @YellowFlashGuy / X)
What is this user trying to say here? That Pokimane is about to turn 30? Close to gaining 30 million followers? Few thousand dollars from reaching a net worth of $30 million? Hmm, looks like we’ll never know!
Ugh everytime! (via @Emilyuumi / X)
Looks like we’ve got someone who’s not a fan of Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed in our midst! She clearly can’t stand seeing anything about them, especially since it always seems to happen against her will. Could it be that she stumbled upon Pokimane’s comment about them by accident too?
IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat’s success has been phenomenal, but female streamers like Ironmouse and Pokimane are just as impressive. So more power to them, and more entertainment for us!
