Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" has spoken out about the ongoing feud between YouTubers Alia "SSSniperwolf" and John "Jacksfilms."

"I'm vehemently against doxing, esp as someone who has been doxed, swatted, and stalked for years. this comparison is unnecessary and I don't want to be a part of your 'women can get away w (with) anything' agenda. I sincerely hope that @YouTube helps Jack."
Pokimane added that she always tried to apologize after making a mistake. She then pleaded with the online community to stop comparing her to someone who "committed a crime":
