Rachell ‘Valkyrae‘ Hofstetter spoke out about the impact of people’shipping’ her with male friends, admitting she is “hesitant” to play GTA RP with them as a result.
People enjoy watching streamers work together and play games. However, they sometimes go too far by expressing a desire for them to become romantically involved with one another, a practice is known as ‘shipping.’
Rae urged fans not to ship her with male friends on May 8, calling it “uncomfortable and creepy.”
Rae admitted to avoiding people as a result of it, both in-game and in real life.
Rae has previously expressed concerns about shipping. She called the fact that people were shipping her with Minecraft YouTuber Dream “terrible” in 2021, but she claims it’s even worse this time because it’s with her friends.
Ludwig and Pokimane, who were being shipped together after a series of collaborations, have spoken out about it as well. They also described the behavior as “creepy” and explained why it is not acceptable.
