Valkyrae shares adoption plans on stream, addresses misconceptions about content creation

In her tweet yesterday, Valkyrae revealed that she and her mother had made the decision for the latter to primarily take care of the child while she provided for them financially.

The decision was met with overwhelming positivity from her fans and the streaming community. In a recent stream, Valkyrae took a step back and decided not to discuss her adoption plans online anymore. She explained that after her initial announcement, some people misunderstood her intentions and perceived it as a way to generate content for her channel. She said:

"I was foolish about tweeting a real-life thing. To sum up, I'm not gonna talk about it anymore, it's definitely going to stay private forever. My heart was definitely broken yesterday by the replies."

She continued:

"To be fair, I do take accountability in shoving something novel. It was such a big thing that my mom and I have been discussing for a long time, like, researching, planning, thinking about it. I wanted to tweet, one, out of excitement and two, hear people's stories."

Valkyrae further added:

"I realized that in the position that I am in, everything is perceived as content. I basically wanna vomit saying that. It breaks my heart that it was perceived that way."

Towards the end of the conversation, she hinted that she was considering deleting her initial tweet about the adoption plans since it had caused confusion and misunderstanding.
