Ethan Klein, a popular YouTube creator from h3h3Productions, and Asmongold, a Twitch streamer and OTK co-owner, both shared their thoughts on the current Pokimane controversy. Asmongold remarked on Ninja’s involvement, while Klein focused on why JiDion started the hate raid against Imane “Pokimane” Anys. Many content creators have already voiced their opinions on the current situation. This is a serious problem because it affects the streaming community’s environment. Let’s see what Ethan Klein and Asmongold have to say about JiDion and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins’ behavior towards Pokimane.
Jidion was chastised by Ethan Klein for starting a “hate raid” against Pokimane, which resulted in him being permanently banned from Twitch. The suspension was initially for 14 days, but due to the severity of the abuse, it was extended to a permanent ban. Klein referred to JiDion as a “simp” and told him to “grow up,” referencing a video of JiDion calling Pokimane’s fans minors and telling them to “grow up.” Ninja, a popular streamer, was also chastised by H3H3 Productions’ co-founder for getting involved in the controversy.
Pokimane’s stream was cut short last week due to hateful comments. JiDion was the one who started the raid, which resulted in him being permanently banned from the streaming platform.
He then requested reconsideration, but was flatly denied. JiDion had already apologized and admitted his mistakes to Pokimane, prompting Poki to forgive him. He despises her for no reason other than the fact that she is a female streamer. He claimed he didn’t like her as a person.
Klein was beginning to doubt JiDion’s true motives. He believes JiDion is the true “simp,” and he went to great lengths to get Pokimane’s attention. He compared JiDion to a young boy who picks on a girl to get her attention, and he described him as “pathetic.”
Klein also stated that the community that was affected by the hate raid had a more serious issue. This act, he claims, is misogynistic. Pokimane didn’t even show any provocative traits or actions on her stream, which isn’t a problem. It just goes to show that even people as good-hearted as her, who are successful in their fields, can act out of hatred. He persisted in pressing JiDion, saying that all JiDion wanted was Poki’s attention. He came to the conclusion that JiDion is the real “simp,” referring to Poki’s fans.
Ethan then continued with Ninja, explaining why he had become involved in the situation. He questioned why Ninja would enter such a dangerous situation, claiming that he was “helping a friend” as a result of his actions. He even made some dubious remarks, exacerbating the situation. It’s still unclear whether a Twitch representative was involved or whether the text was actually sent. We still don’t know if Ninja’s wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, will pursue legal action against Poki for defamation. The Blevins are still silent, and we haven’t heard from them in a long time.
Andrew Schulz, another host of a YouTube podcast called the Flagrant 2, believes JiDion and Ninja are envious of Pokimane’s success.
They’d build clout just to dethrone Poki’s status in order to stay or become relevant. Pokimane also spoke out about her predicament. Random accounts would message her to move on, but they would also include accounts that continued to hate her. The community should stop bothering her, as JiDion has already apologized and told them to stop.
Asmongold, a well-known Twitch streamer and OTK co-owner, weighed in on the Poki and Ninja situation.
In a Tweet, Pokimane shared a photo of a direct message from Jessica Blevins. Asmogold had something to say about the situation after reading the post.
Asmogold emphasized Ninja’s error, saying it’s crazy because Ninja appears to be in a worse situation than JiDion because JiDion isn’t threatening her with ‘you made a big mistake’ and texting her. He’s just memeing about it, which is still bad, but he still thinks it’s shady, and this, in his opinion, is even worse.
Asmongold is also certain that pursuing legal action and escalating the situation will be futile. From that point forward, I continued to support Poki. Anyone who disagrees with Pokimane is simply expressing their dislike for her.
As previously stated, threats are made but no action is taken in terms of legal means. We have yet to hear from the Blevins family about whether or not they intend to pursue the defamation case against Pokimane.
Both of the well-known content creators are supporting Pokimane because they believe JiDion went too far and Ninja is irrelevant. They are both on Pokimane’s side because random viewers continue to harass Poki. Hopefully, the problem has been resolved, as the incident will have a negative impact on the streaming community, with a number of streaming behemoths involved. They should be role models for both their audience and fellow streamers in terms of influence.
