Pokimane claps back at viewers for asking if she is pregnant
During a recent livestream, Pokimane bemoaned fans for posing questions surrounding her personal life. The streamer specifically took umbrage with viewers for presuming a "pregnancy" whenever she hinted towards an achievement or "exciting news." She lamented:
“You know, being a woman in her 20s is weird, because any time you have exciting news, someone has to think it’s ’cause you’re pregnant. You know, you’re gonna be so hyped about something, like a job promotion or whatever, and all of the sudden you gotta be thinking about babies. And then you gotta be like, ‘Wait, should I be pregnant right now?"
The Twitch streamer even jested about wanting to get pregnant at 50 and not when she is in her mid-twenties and building her career. She stated:
"I didn’t wanna think about babies right now!’ Stop! Thirties will be even worse? Stop! When does it stop? When you’re 50? What if I wanna be pregnant at 50, not 25? You know?"
She further added:
"Every single time I mention any sort of announcement, news, anything exciting, there’s at least minimum three people that are like, "Pregnant? Are you pregnant?’ Like bro, not even my mom talks to me as much about this sh*t as some of y’all. It’s weird.”
