Imane “Pokimane” Anys in collaboration with Rust introduced a garage-door skin in July 2021.
The skin is available via Twitch drops which means that fans can obtain it by simply watching Pokimane’s streams. This was the second garage-door skin that Pokimane had released.
Earlier in January, artist and Twitter user @puppeteer7777 had designed the first skin which was released by Rust’s creators Facepunch studios as a collectible item. However, after releasing what was her second garage-door skin in a matter of months, Pokimane was criticized by a range of Twitter users who wanted to see her make “better content.”

The Pokimane garage door trend: How did it begin?
It is a commonly known fact that Pokimane is one of the most popular content creators of all time, and arguably the most famous and influential female creator as well. As a result, her content, social media interactions and broadcasts are always under scrutiny on the internet. Over the past year, Rust’s developers Facepunch studios have collaborated with a range of content creators to release collectible skins and other items.
These include the likes of Leslie “Fuslie” Fu and Peter Park, apart from Pokimane. When Pokimane’s first garage-door skin came out, it was met with a mixed response, with quite a few of her fans excited to acquire the item. However, the second time around, fans appeared to be more vocal and alleged that Pokimane was not being “creative” enough with respect to her content.
In her defense, the items in question were available to her viewers for free, with other streamers such as Fuslie also releasing garage-door skins as well. However, her community pointed out how both-Pokimane themed items were garage-door skins. Additionally, fans did not seem impressed with the overall layout and design, and mocked her for the lack of creativity.
Some Rust players even claimed that only “Pokimane simps” would flaunt the skin in-game, and claimed that they will destroy it with explosives if they come across it. Regardless, this sparked off an entire trend, with “Pokimane garage door” becoming a commonly searched term in recent months. Fans might be surprised to learn that the overall trend began simply due to a skin that she released in collaboration with Facepunch studios.
