"How about we stop comparing a human child to pets" - Pokimane's recent tweet about wanting child elicits strong reactions

Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" took to X (formerly Twitter) on September 20, 2023, and opened up about starting a family. She expressed her desire to get a new pet, either another cat or a new dog. The Moroccan-Canadian icon then hinted at wanting a child, writing:

"Kind of want another cat... or a dog... or a kid."

While numerous netizens supported the content creator's decision to start a new family, some community members ended up sharing some rather strong sentiments.

"I vote for another cat!" - Fans share their thoughts on Pokimane wanting to get a new pet or have a child

This isn't the first time Imane has discussed starting a family and having a child. Back in July, she collaborated with One True King (OTK) co-founder Matthew "Mizkif," and the topic of streamers having children came up during their conversation.

While Mizkif claimed he had no intention of becoming a father, Pokimane stated that she would like to have children "someday." She said:

"Frankly, you know, I'm not like, 'I need kids now.' But, I do feel like someday... I don't know how to say this. Hopefully, you know, I'll be in love. I'll be married. And I'll feel that I've fulfilled my career. And then I'll be like, 'Yo know what? I want to make a little baby thing.'"

The co-founder of OfflineTV (OTV) went on to say that she was in a "privileged position" and had "financial means" to have a baby:

"But, I also think I'm in such a privileged position where I can actually balance! Like, I have the financial means. You know? To try to balance. So, if anyone's going to have a f**king baby, shouldn't it be me?"
