Tarik left the room for a short break, leaving Pokimane in charge of entertaining his viewers — and sensing an opportunity, Pokimane humorously urged them to stop “shipping” her with the streamer, or any other guys she’s seen with in public.
“Okay, now that he’s gone, chat, we need to talk,” she began. “Please don’t be weird. I just wanna hang out with my bros sometimes. Like, men make up half of the population. Sometimes I’m gonna have to be around them.
“Sometimes it’s nice, sometimes it’s not nice. It doesn’t matter. Stop thinking I’m dating all of them. How can I be dating all of the men all at once? That’s too much work. One is hard enough. Please. And I ain’t even got one!”
