Streamer Pokimane shared insights on how stalkers have impacted her content creation process, even when they’re not targeting her personally.
Recently, March has been quite unsettling for certain live streamers, such as Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru. On March 2nd, these individuals found themselves under an unexpected attack – not in person, but virtually by a Steam sniper while they were streaming at the Santa Monica Pier.
On that very evening, thieves attempting a break-in at Amouranth’s residence targeted crypto for theft. In response, the live-streamer took action by firing a shot at one of the intruders. This sensational event was not only recorded on her security system but quickly spread across social media platforms as well.
On March 8th, Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys highlighted the alarmingly common occurrence of stalkers within the streaming community, emphasizing that it’s not just content creators who are affected by such behavior.
Pokimane how common stalker incidents are
Over the past fortnight, I’ve found myself navigating some unsettling situations involving a fellow gamer buddy who fell victim to stalking. This was recently discussed on an episode of Lily Pichu’s Sweet n Sour Podcast, where Poki shared her insights.
She stated, “A person had been harassing a female streamer who’s my friend, and it turned out that they were fixated on many of our mutual friends, including myself. As a result, she shared all the details with me.

In Paris, I conducted a live streaming event in person. There was an individual who acted strangely. We were fortunate enough to have a bodyguard present. After the event, this man seemed determined to follow us, but thankfully our bodyguard spotted him and intervened. The bodyguard gave him a warning, and as a result, he quickly left.
Besides this, Poki additionally pointed out that the individual in Paris is also known to follow a male YouTube companion of hers closely.
Not just streamers encounter stalking problems; some of her followers have also confided in her about their own challenges with this issue.
She clarified that she maintained a private Instagram account where access was granted only upon request. One of her requirements was that the individual had a visible profile. Remarkably, she received numerous messages from women expressing their desire to join her private IG but were unable due to having stalkers, which led her to understand that this is a widespread problem.
Pokimane isn’t new to talking about the considerable steps she takes to ensure her safety online.
As per Anys, she shells out more than five digits monthly for security measures, including protecting against doxxing, preventing the creation of deepfakes, and managing copyright matters.
She stated, “I actually hire individuals on a monthly basis whose main task is to search for my address across all platforms and remove it if found. It’s unfortunate that I find myself in this situation.
