If a tweet by Pokimane is to be believed, then the population of LA may be reduced by 1. Imane Anys, also known as Pokimane, recently tweeted that she wanted to leave LA, and looking at the traffic scenes there, no one should be surprised. On March 19, the Twitch streamer took to X and tweeted,

"I wanna leave LA"

Why? Pokimane did not say. But the speculations are hotter than a jalapeno. Maybe the hustle-bustle of the city is getting too much for her, and she just wants to stream her favorite games from somewhere the rent is not equal to someone's hopes, dreams, and their firstborn child combined.

Whatever the reason, fans are hoping the place is the only thing she is changing. Valorant streams won't be the same without her.

Fan reaction to Pokimane's tweet about wanting to leave LA

As soon as the tweet was posted, the hospitality of the USA suddenly erupted. People from all over the country encouraged her decision and invited her to their towns. People from Austin, Texas, seemed a bit too welcoming. Here are some of the hilarious reactions that she received.

A hospitable user @rosiiwun invited Pokimane to her hometown,

"we have room here in Austin"

A panicked LA citizen @TinaKitten quickly jumped in to save the day,

"oh god POKI I CAN CHANGE!! WE CAN CHANGE!!

Another user, @AriaSaki, understood the entire situation rather differently,

"I know how to fit into a suitcase!"
"I also know how to set passports on fire"

User @Mr_Broskis decided to become an HR manager and do an exit interview,

"Tell me 3 reasons why?"

User @Short_Bus_King decided to say something on LA's behalf,

"I'm sure the feeling is mutual"

He didn't want any part of the drama and just gave her the go-ahead. (via @CapCorgiTTV)

Who is Pokimane?

How many female gaming streamers do you know? If you had to think about it, then here is your answer. You now know one. Imane "Pokimane" Anys. She is a Moroccan-Canadian streamer on Twitch who made a name for herself in the game streaming scene by mostly playing Valorant and Fortnite.

But don't let yourself think for a minute she is just another streamer, Anys also reached the Platinum rank in League of Legends. But that's not all; besides her gaming skills, she is a talented content creator known for keeping her viewers engaged with her easy and charming personality.

One minute she is screaming at her enemies in a game and wishing the pits of hell upon them, and the next she is cutely telling people about her day. She is capable of having thousands stream her channel even if she is just reading a book.
